Main lines of research
The Granada Cancer Registry (GCR), since its startup in 1985, has developed research projects produced by the GCR itself or in collaboration with other national or international institutions, along four main research lines:
• Descriptive epidemiology of cancer:
Temporal trends of cancer incidence in Granada for adults, children and adolescents / Survival of cancer in Granada / Estimates of cancer incidence and prevalence in Andalusia and Spain / Rare malignant tumors (RDR Spain): definition, incidence and survival. / Risk of second primary multiple tumors / Childhood Cancer
• Risk factors for cancer and other chronic diseases, especially in the Framework of the EPIC project (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition)
Studies on the association between lifestyle factors, diet and other environmental factors with risk of cancer and other chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases,...) / Studies on the association between biomarkers of exposure (antioxidants, inflammation, oxidative stress, etc.) with risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. / Studies on gen*environment and gen*gen interactions and their association with risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
• Health care and outcomes assessment in cancer patients
Survival and patterns of care in cancer and variability in clinical practice (diagnostic methods, stage, treatment, tumor markers, second primary cancers, recurrences): differences between countries and geographical areas (EUROCARE, CONCORD, HIGHCARE and EMPARO-CU projects). / Surveillance and control of rare tumors in Spain and Europe (EUROCARE project).
• Health technologies and drugs economic evaluation Pricing policies and reimbursement of drugs
