2019 International Conference on Cancer Registries Words of Welcome


Dear Conference Participant:

       On behalf of the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare, we are delighted to invite you to attend the 2019 International Conference on Cancer Registries to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Taiwan Cancer Registry. The conference is co-organized by the Taiwan Cancer Registry Center and the Taiwan Cancer Registry Society. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to our cancer registry partners ( cancer registrars, physicians, hospital administrators, public health specialists, epidemiologists, researchers, and others) from around the world, and for your effort to help implement and develop cancer registries in Taiwan.

       This historic event will be held from October18 to 19, 2019, at the Chang Yung-Fa Foundation International Convention Center, and the theme of the conference will be “Taiwan's Nationwide Cancer Registry System of 40 Years: New Challenges and Changes”. The event will strive to offer plenty of networking opportunities, providing you with the opportunity to meet and interact with renowned experts from Denmark, the UK, Netherlands, Italy, the US, Japan and South Korea, along with scholars and leaders from Taiwan. They will share the uses of cancer registry databases in healthcare quality improvement, the progress and emerging trends in big data and artificial intelligence (AI) development, and advancements and future trends in the field.

       We sincerely hope that this conference will deliberate and discuss all the different uses of cancer registries and come up with recommendations that will forge ahead in a new era of cancer prevention and control.

       We hope that you will find the conference and your stay in Taiwan both valuable and enjoyable!
