What is the Yorkshire Register?
The Yorkshire Specialist Register of Cancer in Children and Young People (YSRCCYP) is a regional population-based register that maintains detailed sociodemographic and clinical information on children and young adults (aged 0 – 39 years) that have been diagnosed with cancer in the Yorkshire and Humber region since 1974. Yorkshire and the Humber has a population of over 5.5 million people. The area comprises a range of urban and rural communities with a significant ethnic minority population resident in parts of West Yorkshire.
YSRCCYP has close connections to the NHS and other healthcare datasets, it helps to inform the decision making of local clinicians and commissioners with collaborative national and international epidemiology and outcomes research.
