Haematological Malignancies Registry of Gironde, France
Motivation for standing for election
During my past experiences in coordinating the French network of cancer registries and an international consortium on epidemiological research on lymphoma (InterLymph), I always tried to push forward our action in three directions: 1) the improvement of the quality of the data, 2) openness for large international projects initiatives and 3) the cross-fertilisation between cancer surveillance and cancer research. I tried to contribute as much as I could to European initiatives in terms of cancer registration in my field or by facilitating other contributors in France. By standing for the election, my goal is first to contribute to the excellent work done by the ENCR by harmonizing our data collection and improve our European information system on cancer surveillance but also to help to develop at this level more interactions between existing data-bases on health care, environment or more broadly all data resources that could be crosslinked with cancer registries data and that show the backbone role of this kind of epidemiological tool.

Fields of interest: for more than 15 years the focus of my epidemiologic research has been on haematological malignancies, including their surveillance, their behavioural and environmental risk factors or their outcome research. I have been leading or being involved in national and international projects on surveillance, prognostic and aetiology research studies (National estimations of incidence and survival, HAEMACARE, EUROCARE, CONCORD, HIGHCARE, ENCR, RARECARE, IARC, INTERLYMPH pooling projects.
