TL;DR: One-year and 3-year age-standardised net survival (NS) was estimated by sex, histological type, stage and country in lung cancer cases as mentioned in this paper, showing that survival differences were also observed within stages, suggesting that quality of treatment, healthcare system factors and prevalence of comorbid conditions may also influence survival.

TL;DR: An age-period-cohort model predicts an upward turn in CRC cancer incidence rates over the next quarter century, particularly among US whites.

TL;DR: To improve the limited cancer incidence data available in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), the Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (gicr.iarc.fr) is an international partnership supporting countries to redraw the surveillance map.

TL;DR: Cancer incidence in the PICTs was recorded to be relatively low, with New Caledonia and French Polynesia being exceptions, and low recorded incidence is likely to be explained by incomplete cancer registration as cancer had an important contribution to mortality.

TL;DR: The population attributable fraction is a critical driver of evidence-based cancer prevention and there is an overwhelming need for a new generation of descriptive studies that globally promote the long-term public health and economic benefits of cancer prevention.
