The Eastern Cancer Registry and Information Centre (ECRIC) registers all malignant tumours and some pre-cancerous lesions occurring in people resident in the East of England at the time of diagnosis. ECRIC is also the National Brain Tumour Registry for England.
Identifiable patient data is never released from the registry without appropriate ethical approval and the registry will never contact individual patients or their relatives. Details of about the benefits of cancer registration are available on the UK Association of Cancer Registries website.
