Key Words Trend of hepatocellular carcinoma; Cancer incidence registry; Misclassification; Bayesian correction
Core Tip In many developing countries and even in some developed countries some errors occur in disease registry system. Since registered data is used for planning at the national and sub-national level, correcting the existed errors has a great importance. One of these errors is misclassification in registering cancer incidence. It occurs because some patients from divested provinces prefer to get more qualified diagnostic and treatment services at their adjacent provinces with more medical facilities without mentioning their permanent residence. The aim of this study is to investigate the trend of hepatocellular carcinoma after correcting for misclassification error in Iran’s cancer registry using Bayesian method.
