The methods paper for the 2018 world cancer estimates, describing the registry and mortality data behind the figure of about 18.1 million new cases in 185 countries and how countries without good data were handled.
Ferlay and colleagues documented the sources and methods for GLOBOCAN 2018, which estimated incidence and mortality for 36 cancers in 185 countries. They described the data available for each country, the methods applied according to data quality and coverage, and the summary results of about 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018. The paper accompanies the headline report by Bray and colleagues and is the reference for the quality of the national estimates.
This paper is the place to check how solid a given country's GLOBOCAN 2018 figure is, which matters when the numbers are used to argue for national cancer plans.
