Every year, many Norwegians are diagnosed with cancer. Now we want to find out more about how cancer affects quality of life and self-perceived health among those affected.

Machine learning has gained popularity because data availability is growing quickly. Many of the Cancer Registry's projects use large datasets and our use of machine learning for research is increasing.

Screening-based research is essential for developing and improving our screening programs, and increasing society's knowledge about pre-cancer and early diagnosis.

The Cancer Registry currently has several active projects related to occupational and environmental exposure with extensive national and international collaboration.

The Cancer Registry has several ongoing research projects on cancer biomarkers.

The Cancer Registry of Norway conducts several research studies focusing on how the use of different medications affects the risk of cancer in the population.
