Use the cancer registry itself as the trial machine: randomise patients at diagnosis, then let the registry collect the outcomes for a fraction of the usual cost.
Registry-based randomised trials (R-RCTs), pioneered in Swedish cardiology, use the registry for identification, randomisation and outcome follow-up. Oncology has the registries (Nordic, England, Netherlands) but almost no R-RCTs. The proposal funds a programme of five R-RCTs on high-value comparative questions with routine endpoints (surveillance intervals, adjuvant duration, supportive care) and develops the ethics and consent templates to make the design routine.
