All the four PBCRs are comparable internationally. PBCR Chandigarh and SAS Nagar, predominantly urban registries, have higher accuracy of their data and good completeness levels as compared to predominantly rural registries of Mansa and Sangrur. Cancer estimates given by all the four registries are reliable and data from these registries can be utilized for planning cancer prevention and control activities in the region.
