Purpose  A person-oriented database has the advantage of being able to provide longitudinal data for each cancer patient such that a single person record exists for all tumors diagnosed during that person's lifetime.
Scope  The conceptual universe of the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) is persons whose usual place of residence is Canada or who are non-permanent residents. The residence at the time of diagnosis is generally the place of usual residence, as stated by the diagnosed person or, as defined by the Census, "the dwelling in Canada where a person lives most of the time", regardless of where they are when diagnosed. For patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumours over time, the address may be different for each primary tumour
