Outline of Final Research Achievements

Japanese radiation oncology database (JROD) were developed by our previous study in partnership with Database Committee in Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology and National Institute of Radiological Sciences. 22,276 cases from 44 institutions in 2013, 40,664 cases from 82 institutions in 2014, and 53,250 cases from 105 institutions in 2015 were registered in JROD. Also, the cancer registry of particle beam (proton beam and carbon ion beam) radiation therapy was started in 2016.
The database can link data from separate databases (national cancer registries, hospital-based cancer registries, and site-specific cancer registries).
