A Gateway to Progress in Cancer Research
The Shifa Cancer Registry (SCR) is a hospital-based cancer registry initiated in 2018 to systematically collect accurate and comprehensive data on patients diagnosed and/or treated for cancer at Shifa International Hospital (SIH). It serves as a centralized database for the collection, storage, analysis, and interpretation of cancer-related data, ensuring thorough documentation of all cancer cases at SIH.
More Than Just Statistics
A cancer registry is not just a collection of statistics—it is a dynamic resource that plays a pivotal role in advancing cancer care. By sharing comprehensive, anonymized cancer data, the registry empowers researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals to drive innovation, optimize treatments, and develop effective prevention strategies.
