Base Nacional de Cancer Colorectal en Argentina (BNCCR)
The BNCCR was established in 2022 to support national reporting on colorectal cancer as part of a long-term, 30-year outcomes improvement strategy.
This prospective national registry captures data on patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, with the aim of generating high-quality clinical information and improving the standard of colorectal cancer care across Argentina.
The registry was designed to collect robust data on patients with colon and rectal neoplasms, enabling data-driven quality improvement initiatives.
Currently, the registry includes 32 participating centres across Capital Federal and the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Formosa, Mendoza, Misiones, Neuquén, San Juan, and Santa Fe.
Here are recent publications from the group:
