Mar 14, 2023: Read about our 8th healthcare database profile from Estonia

Established in January 2015, the Estonian Cancer Screening Register records data on the 3 available population-based cancer screenings in Estonia: breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. While the breast cancer screening started in 2003, and the cervical cancer screening in 2006, the data have been added to ECSR only since 2015, while colorectal cancer screening data in Estonia were added to the register in 2016.
