The IMS^® Oncology Analyzer (Taiwan) is the second in a series of IMS^® Oncology Analyzer databases we are adding to our resource. Potential uses of this database include help with: (1) Determining patient segmentation and targeting based on actual clinical practice; (2) Sizing the market accurately to assess brand potential; (3) Monitoring brand performance, new product uptake and therapy adoption globally; (4) Evaluating treatment flows from diagnosis to current therapy; and (5) Benchmarking against competitor performance.

Founded in 1960, the Israel National Cancer Registry (INCR) covers the entire Israeli population compiling data on all reported cancer cases including demographic information, diagnosis, date of diagnosis, and stage at diagnosis. INCR also provides linkage to national population databases using the unique national identifier.
