Brazilian Network for Lymphoma Registry

Currently there are no official data concerning incidence, progression and prognosis of patients with lymphoma in Brazil.This project aims the establishment of a network of 12 Brazilian Institutions to implement a Lymphoma Registry (RELINFO) with the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA) as the Coordinating Center.We intend to develop and implement a computerized system for data entry and information management of patients with lymphomas. This will enable create a virtual registry of demographic, clinical, epidemiological, histopathological, molecular, and therapeutic data. This clinical record must be linked to histopathological and molecular diagnosis, allowing institutions that work in the context of the public health system have access to new technologies for early cancer diagnosis.We expect is that this record reliably portrays the scene of lymphomas in our state and will become a management model that can be replicated at the national level. Thus, the implementation of RELINFO will strengthen the multidisciplinary diagnosis, promote the standardization of clinical record of patients with lymphomas and provide subsidies to cooperative research projects between participating institutions.
