TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the burden of 29 cancer groups over time to provide a framework for policy discussion, resource allocation, and research focus, and evaluate cancer incidence, mortality, years lived with disability, years of life lost, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 195 countries and territories by age and sex using the Global Burden of Disease study estimation methods.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study as discussed by the authors has been used to describe cancer burden for 29 cancer groups in 195 countries from 1990 through 2017 to provide data needed for cancer control planning, including cancer incidence, mortality, years lived with disability, years of life lost, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

TL;DR: The total cumulative burden experienced by survivors of pediatric cancer, in conjunction with detailed characterization of long-term CHCs, provide data to better inform future clinical guidelines, research investigations and health services planning for this vulnerable, medically-complex population.

TL;DR: This Review analyzes four studies of the global cancer burden that included data for children and adolescents and proposes several recommendations to strengthen data collection and standardise analyses that could help stakeholders to develop plans for national and institutional cancer programmes.
