title: [Epidemiological research with data from cancer registries: a program financed by the German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe, DKH)].
abstract: In 2007, the German Cancer Aid started a program to promote epidemiological research with data from cancer registries. Within this program, ten projects with various epidemiological research questions were funded. The program was a major boost for the use of data from population-based cancer registries and was an important milestone for cancer epidemiology in Germany.
