The Cancer Information Registry for Children and Adolescents in Australia (CIRCAA) is a national registry to record information about the children, adolescents and young adults being cared for in a specialist children’s cancer centre in Australia.
CIRCAA’s key purpose is to clearly understand the number and range of cancer types occurring in young Australians. This information will enable the Australian community of paediatric cancer health professionals to:
- Identify focus areas for research,
- Tailor-make a broad and relevant national clinical trial program, and
- Obtain accurate national data on rare cancer sub-types.
CIRCAA is being run by ANZCHOG. ANZCHOG is a collaborative research group with a mission to ensure that high quality clinical trials are available to Australian and New Zealand paediatric cancer patients.
Who is invited to participate?
All children, adolescents, and young adults who:
- Have a new diagnosis of cancer or relapse of a previous cancer, and
- Have their healthcare managed by one of the following public hospital children’s cancer centres in Australia:
- Monash Children’s Hospital
- Royal Hobart Hospital
- Sydney Children’s Hospital
Taking part in CIRCAA is voluntary. For eligible patients, data will automatically be added to the CIRCAA registry by hospital staff unless the patient or their parent or guardian tell us they don’t want to be involved.
