Main Objective

The main broad and overall objective of the centre is to sustain and develop a national research data-base on cancer, diabetes, CVD and stroke through recent advances in electronic information technology with a national collaborative network, so as to undertake aetiological, epidemiological, clinical and control research in these areas.


Research Focus

  • Primary focus: A nationwide data-base has already been established for cancer through the National Cancer Registry Programme and the Cancer Atlas Project. Therefore, the primary focus of research of the centre would be to undertake:
    a) epidemiological cancer research with laboratory component where relevant and important;
    b) patterns of care and survival studies on selected sites of cancer;
    c) cancer control research.
  • Secondary Focus: Facilitate and coordinate research activities by collaborating centres towards epidemiological and clinical studies in diabetes, CVD and stroke.
