French Polynesia's public cancer institute, created in 2021. It runs the territory's cancer registry, screening and prevention, coordinates cancer care and research, and helps patients who must travel abroad for treatment.
The Institut du cancer de Polynésie française, Tahiarua Onohi Mihinoa a Tati, dit Tiurai, is a public industrial and commercial body created by order no. 1291 CM of 13 July 2021. Since 1 January 2022 it has run the cancer registry, screening and prevention, regional coordination of care and a research and innovation directorate; its board is chaired by the minister of health. It is a member of the Unicancer network. Its registry, legally founded by deliberation 85-1042 AT of 30 May 1985, recorded an average of 963 cancers a year in 2019 to 2021, a crude incidence of 345.5 per 100,000. Cancer is a notifiable disease in French Polynesia, and the registry draws on the CHPF, private clinics, doctors, laboratories and the CPS long-term illness register. Its CAP EVASAN nursing team accompanies adults with cancer evacuated to France or New Zealand, with costs met by the CPS. The coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for the Centre de la mère et de l'enfant in Pirae, where the institute's site gives its address.
