TL;DR: Endometrial cancer incidence rates increased over time and in successive generations in several countries, especially in those countries with rapid socioeconomic transitions, with South Africa and several countries in Asia showing the largest increase.

TL;DR: This work explains how and why cancer predictions are made, with examples to illustrate the concepts in practice, and explains the forces that drive time trends.

TL;DR: An update of the practical aspects and techniques for addressing data quality at the cancer registry is provided, namely, the comparability, validity and timeliness of cancer registry data.

TL;DR: This second instalment of a two-part review of data quality methods at the cancer registry focuses on the principles and techniques available for estimating completeness, separating methods into those that are semi-quantitative -- in that they give an indication of the degree of completeness relative to other registries or over time, and more quantitative techniques -- those that provide a numerical evaluation.

TL;DR: The current patterns of cancer in Africa are reviewed and the opportunities for reducing the burden through the application of resource level interventions, including implementation of vaccinations for liver and cervical cancers, tobacco control policies for smoking‐related cancers, and low‐tech early detection methods for cervical cancer are reviewed.
