✦ Synopsis

  1. National incidence data. When incidence rates for a country, or a representative sample of the country deriving from good quality cancer registries, were available, these were the preferred choice. The principal source was ''Cancer Incidence in Five Continents'', Volume VII [CI5VII], which covers the period around 1990 (Parkin et al., 1997), and occasionally, Volume VI [CI5VI] (Parkin et al., 1992), covering the period around 1985. 2. National mortality data. The source of these data were WHO mortality database, as published in the World Health Statistics Annuals, and available on computer tape, and on the Internet (www-dep.iarc.fr).

The method of estimating incidence from mortality was as follows: we assumed that the logarithm of the incidence rate of a given cancer can be expressed as a linear function of the logarithm of mortality in each sex-age group. Separate models were fitted for different geographical areas, as specified below. Following this assumption we estimated the parameters of such regressions

Cancer is an infrequent disease in childhood. However, it is responsible for 13.06% of child deaths between 1 and 14 years in Cuba. The aim of our work was to describe the incidence of childhood cancer in the period 1986 to 1990 using data reported to the National Cancer Registry (NCR) of Cuba. All

## Background: Few reports have estimated the prevalence of persons in the u.s. ever diagnosed with invasive cancer. ## Methods: The connecticut tumor registry was used to identify all connecticut residents ever diagnosed (1935-1994) with invasive cancer who were known to be alive in 1994. estima
