TL;DR: The construction and composition of the CI5 databases are described, and examples of how they can be used to prepare tables and graphs comparing incidence rates between populations are provided.

TL;DR: A substantial increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer in people younger than 50 years in some of the countries in this study is noted, and non-linear cohort effects were more pronounced for rectal than for colon cancer.

TL;DR: The global burden of breast cancer is reviewed, focusing on patterns of disease in terms of incidence and mortality and their geographical and temporal variations in different regions of the world.

TL;DR: Recent trends in anal cancer incidence in 18 countries worldwide are examined, finding that population-based preventive measures, including human papillomavirus vaccination and advocacy for safe sexual behaviours, may contribute to curbing the surging burden of the disease.

TL;DR: The mapping of uterine cancer mortality among women aged <45 years indicates that the burden of cervical cancer is particularly high across the whole of Eastern Europe, and the European Commission should maintain cervical cancer control in future action plans and increase support to the most affected member states.
