Cancer Incidence in Five Continents - v.5

This series, of which the first two volumes were published by UICC in 1966 and 1970, has since been published by the IARC in collaboration with the International Association of Cancer Registries.

It provides compilations of cancer morbidity data supplied, in the present volume, by 105 registries covering 187 populations in 36 countries.

As well as the age-specific incidence rates, age-standardized, truncated and cumulative incidence rates are given by subsites.

This book provides no interpretation of the data, but the reader can draw conclusions and build up hypotheses on the basis of this unique collection of information.

Innovations in this volume include an analysis of histological types of cancers of the bladder and thyroid, and Hodgkin's disease.

Further, the incidence in urban and rural areas of 14 registries is contrasted.
