How can global incidence estimates support childhood cancer control?
Menée à partir d'une microsimulation, cette étude estime l'incidence des cancers pédiatriques pour 200 pays en 2015 et sur les 15 années suivantes
Information about the incidence of cancer is collected, analysed, and disseminated by population-based cancer registries. It is the basis for a planned response to demands on health services, the evaluation of the effect of interventions, and the study of associations between putative risk factors and variations in cancer incidence. Efficient cancer registration has become a landmark of a well-functioning advanced public health system, although it tends to be an exception, rather than the rule, in low-income countries
