There are 56 institutions represented here from the 14 provinces of our country and from Isla de La Juventud and it covers since 1962 to 2003. The most frequent cancers were: lung cancer, colon cancer and lymphatic cancer.

The infection, particularly bronchoneumonia, was the most frequent direct cause of death . When the quality of the diagnostic was assesed the discrepancies about the cancers was 14.7% in general and a 33.7% in its direct causes of death The pancreas cancer, as a basic cause of death, was of the highest diagnostic discrepancy representing a 20.1% and in its direct causes of death it reaches a 41.8%. The importance of the utilization of the multiple causes of death is underlined in the study of cancer and the role of the autopsy as the most complete study of the sick/sickness and guaranty of quality in the medical work .
