- Authors
Beiki, Omid
- Abstract
The author looks at the increase in the global burden of cancer. He attributes the ineffective implementation of cancer control programs to the lack of high-quality incidence and mortality data in developing countries. He references a study which suggested the creation of a cancer registration system. The establishment of the Global Initiative for Cancer Registries (GICR) by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is noted.
