About 12% of all deaths in the world are caused by cancer, and it is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. In Indonesia, the prevalence of cancer is 4.3 per 1,000 population. The high mortality rate in cancer patients occurs because most patients seek treatment when the cancer has reached the final stage, so early detection is critical. Early detection can be achieved by the National Cancer Control Program (NCCP), one of its activities being cancer registration. The purpose of cancer registration is the maintenance of a file or list of all cancer cases that occur in a particular population; in achieving this goal, assistance, and training are needed for health workers to compile this cancer registry. The method used in this study is a lecture method conducted for 2 days in the medical record room of Bethesda Yogyakarta Hospital for health workers who are directly involved in data management. After conducting the lecture method, it was continued with a group discussion as a case study of filling out the cancer registry. The training results obtained an increase in knowledge (approximately 20%) of all participants who participated in this training and an increase in technical ability in correctly filling out the registry form from 50% to 95%. From this study, it can be concluded that there was a significant increase in the knowledge and skills of health workers using a training method that combined theory and practice.
