FOSP - Informação e Epidemiologia

What FOSP - Informação e Epidemiologia does

Fundação Oncocentro de São Paulo (FOSP) is a São Paulo state public foundation, established in 1974 by Lei Estadual nº 195 and operating under the São Paulo State Health Secretariat (Secretaria de Estado da Saúde). It functions as the statutory coordinator of the state's cancer control programs and operates four technical directorates: Information and Epidemiology, Laboratory, Rehabilitation, and Technical Team. Its mission spans cancer prevention, early detection, epidemiological surveillance, specialized diagnostics, and post-treatment rehabilitation delivered through Brazil's public health system (SUS) at no direct cost to patients.

The foundation's core technology platform is the Hospital Cancer Registry of São Paulo State (RHC/SP), which migrated to a fully web-based architecture (SISRHC Web) in 2025, providing dynamic data access to all participating hospitals statewide. Surrounding systems include SISCAN (cancer information), SISMAMA (breast cancer control), SISCOLO (cervical cancer control), MEQ (external laboratory quality monitoring), and Tabnet (web-based data analysis). The Information and Epidemiology directorate also publishes periodic epidemiological bulletins covering multiple cancer types. Beyond informatics, FOSP operates a reference laboratory offering cytology, anatomopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular biology testing, plus a rehabilitation directorate producing ocular and facial prosthetics for head and neck cancer survivors.

FOSP is funded entirely through São Paulo state government budget allocations; it has no disclosed commercial revenue, no private customers, and operates exclusively within the SUS framework. Its customer base consists of SUS patients, SUS-affiliated hospitals in São Paulo state, and healthcare professionals who consume its registry data, training, and epidemiological publications. Recent modernization activity includes the SISRHC Web migration and published applied machine learning research on colorectal cancer survival prediction, both signaling incremental digital and analytical evolution within an otherwise stable public-sector mandate.
