This book examines the history of the Victorian Cancer Registry
(VCR) in Australia from its establishment in the late 1930s through
to the present day. It sheds new light on the history of medicine
and the broader social and cultural histories affected by advances
in cancer control science, providing a historical account of cancer
registration that is empirically grounded in new archival and oral
sources. It addresses the obstacles that proponents of cancer
registration faced, how governments came to support permanent
registries, and the subsequent contributions of the VCR and other
registries to cancer research. In charting this history, the book
discusses some of the political, social, and cultural implications
of registry-driven science, and the links between developments in
scientific knowledge and campaigning for policy changes around
cancer.
