Retracted: A suitable model for national cancer registery System of Iran

In the new millennium people face many serious challenges in health care including an upward trend in non contagious disease. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes have had a bigger share respectively. Since cancer mostly develops (come on) in later life considering the young population of our country and an increase in life expectancy, there is an anticipation that the development of this disease would be on the rise with great momentum.
