A new ad hoc system/software has been developed in order to collect patients' data from the first visit to follow-up visits, including tests and Herceptin based therapy. The system has been designed to address both healthcare personnel needs, but also decision makers' information needs. After having identified in the country the laboratories performing the specific tests and the pharmacies that distribute Hercepting, the developed software have been installed in order to build the operational network representing the input points for the register. In 8 months of usage the results are:
• Total number of Patients: 2240 inhabitant

• Number of provinces contributing to the project: 17 provinces out of 30.
