Introduction
The Office of Cancer Registry is a department that executes a hospital-based cancer registry.

We cooperate with the trial operation of software related to health information management. As for the Hos-CanR NEXT software, new functions are evaluated in trial operation at our hospital and the National Cancer Center Hospital etc. before they are provided to other facilities.
In addition, in cooperation with biobank-related research, we have developed questionnaire input software common to Advanced and Specialized Medical Care and we are using it to register questionnaire information.
Education
The Office of Cancer Registry trains cancer registrants and currently has two individuals with beginner authorization and four with intermediate authorization.
Future Prospects
The results of a hospital-based cancer registry have been transmitted to each department by a server through a nosocomial network within the hospital information system. We will continue to provide such useful information.
