70 years of the Slovenian Cancer Registry
Distinguished colleagues and friends!
In 2020, the Slovenian Cancer Registry celebrated its 70th anniversary. For over seven decades, it has maintained its core mission as the national registry for the collection, processing, and presentation of high-quality data on all new cancer cases and the survival of cancer patients in the country.
It is recognized both in Europe and globally as one of the oldest and best population-based cancer registries. With its high-quality data on the burden of cancer in the country, the registry remains one of the most comprehensive healthcare databases in Slovenia and serves as a crucial foundation for national cancer control programs. These programs contribute to cancer prevention, early detection, improved treatment, and enhanced survival and quality of life for all cancer patients.
The dedicated and highly skilled team at the Slovenian Cancer Registry continues to play a vital role in the fight against cancer in Slovenia and beyond.
We invite you to reflect on the rich history and achievements of the Slovenian Cancer Registry as it continues its important work.

70 Years of the Cancer Registry: Knowledge, Quality, Applicability
To celebrate its 70th anniversary, the Slovenian Cancer Registry published a brochure entitled 70 Years of the Cancer Registry: Knowledge, Quality, Applicability, which includes a historical overview of the development and work of the Slovenian Cancer Registry with descriptions of important achievements and information on all of its directors. It also features pictorial material highlighting the rich historical path of the Registry – which we are justifiably proud of – as well as thoughts on the mission and vision for the future of the Cancer Registry.
