The Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry (JJCLCR) was established in 1990 with the support of six academic societies and has worked for registration studies of patients with thoracic malignancies, mainly with lung cancer. The aims of the JJCLCR are, first, to elucidate real-world outcomes of treatments for the diseases; second, to analyze factors influencing prognosis through various subset analyses; and third, to contribute to updating staging systems through cooperation with international databases. Nine research projects have been conducted, of which two are ongoing. In this article, the activities of the JJCLCR are introduced and future perspectives are discussed.
