The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization.

The European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) promotes collaboration between cancer registries, defines data collection standards, provides training for cancer registry personnel and regularly disseminates information on cancer incidence and mortality in Europe.

The Association of the Nordic Cancer Registries is the cooperative organ for the national registries of Denmark (inclusive Faroe Islands and Greenland), Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

The association aims to coordinate the activities of the "Group for Epidemiology and Cancer Registry in Latin Laguage Coutries" (GRELL), gathered since 1976.

In January 1996 the „working group of population-based cancer registries in Germany” was founded by all German population-based cancer registries and the the federal cancer surveillance unit of the Robert-Koch-Institute.

The International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) was founded in 1966, as a professional society dedicated to fostering the aims and activities of cancer registries worldwide. It is primarily for population-based registries, which collect information on the occurrence and outcome of cancer in defined population groups (usually the inhabitants of a city, region, or country). For each new cancer case, registries record details of the individual affected, the nature of the cancer, information on treatment, and on follow-up specially with respect to survival from the disease.
