We support clinical trials and cancer registries
We are committed to supporting clinical trials to lead the development of new treatment options of people living with upper gastrointestinal cancers and funding cancer registries that improve patient outcomes.
Through participation in a clinical trial, patients can access new treatments which may be more effective than those currently available. If the trial is successful, it can help new therapeutic options for patients in the wider community.
Pancare Foundation share information and support the recruitment of good quality clinical trials to patients and their families. The Australian Cancer Clinical Trials website maintains a current list of all clinical trials, including trials available for people living with upper gastrointestinal cancers.
Pancare Foundation funded cancer registries
We are proud to fund and support clinical cancer registries that are designed to reduce variations in the care of patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers in addition to new approaches to better manage patient’s health and targeted therapies.
A clinical registry is a database that systematically collects health-related information on individuals. These registries have an overall governance and management structure to ensure quality assurance and adherence to applicable governmental regulations.

About clinical cancer registries
What is a clinical registry?
A clinical registry is a database that systematically collects health-related information on individuals.
These registries have an overall governance and management structure to ensure quality assurance and adherence to applicable governmental regulations.
These registries may include data on individuals who have been treated with a particular drug or procedure, who have been diagnosed with a particular illness, or managed via a specific healthcare resource.
Types of clinical registries can include:
- Clinical quality registries that monitor the outcomes and quality of care.
- Disease or condition registries that collect diagnostic details on patients with specific diseases or conditions.
- Drug/device/product registries that monitor the medium-long-term safety of devices drugs or products.
These registries provide a system to collect uniform data that can be used by researchers to evaluate specified outcomes for participants defined by a particular condition or disease.
How to participate in a clinical registry
Pancare Foundation provides funding for two types of clinical registries in Australia that are designed to reduce variations in the care of patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers in addition to new approaches to better manage patient’s health and targeted therapies.
