The Cancer Registry is a database created for the collecting, management, and storage of information about people with cancer. Collaborative research, preventive, and treatment initiatives benefit nations that have cancer registries. The aim of this study was to find out the present situation of the Cancer Registry in Bangladesh. This study reviewed related literature, documents and information from relevant government and non-government institutions and published news articles. A number of Asian countries have recently made their cancer registries. It is done by a designated Organization, such as, National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) in India and China National Cancer Registry (CNCR) in China. Both countries decentralized their programs in different parts of their country. However, Bangladesh's National Cancer Registry has not yet been established due to a lack of government policy, fund allocation, trained manpower, awareness, and readiness among health professionals.   Cancer Registry is an integral part of the NCD Surveillance, the Bangladesh government and health authorities should take quick initiatives to establish a national cancer registry system by forming a dedicated commission and decentralizing the process.
