Establishing the National Brain Tumor Registry of Libya (NBTRL): A Comprehensive Approach to Enhance Patient Care

Abstract

Brain tumors, both benign and malignant, represent a significant and complex health challenge due to their impact on the central nervous system. In Libya, the absence of a centralized database has hindered the ability to accurately track the incidence, outcomes, and trends of brain tumors, leading to gaps in effective management, treatment, and re-search. This research proposal outlines the establishment of a National Brain Tumor Reg-istry in Libya, aimed at systematically collecting, managing, and analyzing data on brain tumor cases across the country. This initiative is intended to enhance patient care, facili-tate research, and inform public health policies. The primary objective of the National Brain Tumor Registry of Libya (NBTRL) is to es-tablish a comprehensive national registry that will systematically collect and manage data on brain tumor cases from major hospitals and specialized oncology centers across Libya. This registry is designed to enhance patient care by providing insights into treatment out-comes based on data-driven analysis. Additionally, it aims to facilitate both national and international research collaborations by offering a robust dataset on brain tumor epide-miology and clinical characteristics. Furthermore, the registry seeks to inform public health policies and guide resource allocation for brain tumor treatment and research.
