The PNG Cancer Foundation (PNGCF) is hoping that a cancer registry is set up soon as it will provide an outline of how the country is performing as far as cancer is concern.
The foundation depends on statistics it collects from baseline surveys and screening it conducts during its provincial awareness and free cancer screening.
PNGCF chief executive officer Dadi Toka Jnr says without a cancer registry it is very difficult to see how effective their educational programs are doing in terms of cancer prevention.
