Founded in 1965 by Enrico Anglesio, the Piedmont Cancer Registry (RTP) produced incidence estimates for the five-year period 1965-69 which, considered in the light of subsequent experience, appear surprisingly reliable today. Technical difficulties related to the characteristics and cost of the survey, then completely manual, prevented the continuation of that experience which then resumed on a more solid basis starting from 1985.

Since then, the activity of the RTP has seen a progressive increase, reaching, since 2008, involving the Metropolitan Area of ​​Turin (2.3 million inhabitants). The extension of the registration to the entire regional territory began in 2017 and is still ongoing.

The RTP was reconfirmed in its function by the Piedmont Region with L.R. no. 4 of 11.04.2012 "Discipline of regional registers of significant health interest" and is authorized to operate pursuant to art. 4 of the European Regulation GDPR 679/2016.

Based on the provisions of the DGR n. 8-1664 of 07.17.2020, the owner of the processing of personal data contained in the RTP, as well as responsible for the administrative, technical and IT management of the same, is the AOU Città della Salute e della Scienza of Turin, where the Register is established.

The reference sources in the context of the RTP's activity are many: medical records, pathological anatomy archives, hospital discharge forms, death certificates and any other document useful for the identification and definition of cases.

The information collected concerns the site, the histological type and stage of the tumor and the diagnostic methods; in addition to the registration of cancer cases, the RTP periodically carries out the follow-up of the registered cases and checks their status in life to define the survival from cancer.

The RTP is part of the Italian Association of Cancer Registries (AIRTum) and collaborates with the main international networks dedicated to cancer registration, such as the European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR), the European Cancer Information System (ECIS) and Cancer Incidence in V Continents coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
