A dramatic overhaul of the population-based cancer registration system in Aichi Prefecture, Japan - Aichi Cancer Registry (ACR) - was undertaken in 1998, with a view to rationalization and strengthening of its effectiveness, supported by a grant from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. A more comprehensive organization encompassing the prefectural cancer center and prefectural public health centers (PPHCs), promoting PPHCbased primary and secondary cancer prevention has now been in operation since January 1999. Application of its basic components is also feasible for other population-based cancer registries in Japan, which share similar operation characteristics. This paper introduces the new cancer registration system in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
