About German Centre for Cancer Registry Data

The German Centre for Cancer Registry Data (ZfKD) is based at the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin-Tempelhof. The website provides an interactive database query for current cancer statistics in Germany, along with information on individual cancer sites and the Centre's research tasks. It also publishes reports on cancer epidemiology in Germany.

The database covers incidence, prevalence and survival rates. The site states that the database has been updated with cancer data up to 2022, and that the latest edition of the report 'Cancer in Germany' contains findings up to 2023. Under a new legal framework, clinical and epidemiological data from the German federal states' cancer registries are to be merged at the ZfKD. The source does not describe how or when this merger will be completed. The content is limited to cancer in Germany, and the site states that all rights are reserved unless reuse is explicitly granted.
