The public systems that count every cancer diagnosis and death in a country, which tell us whether incidence and survival are improving.
Population-based registries (US SEER and NPCR, England's NDRS, the Nordic registries, Canada, Australia, Japan, IARC's GLOBOCAN compilation) and hospital registries (NCDB) record incidence, stage, treatment, and survival; they underpin screening evaluation, disparities research, and the CONCORD global survival comparisons. Coverage and data completeness vary widely; many low- and middle-income countries lack population registries, so global burden estimates are modelled.
Registries rest on mandatory reporting from pathology labs and hospitals, record linkage to death and census data, and standard coding (ICD-O-3, TNM) with quality indicators.
This edition documented the treatment-driven fall in lung cancer deaths that followed targeted therapy and immunotherapy, a rare case of new drugs visibly moving national mortality statistics.
This edition documented the fastest ever annual fall in US cancer mortality and attributed it in part to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for lung cancer, one of the clearest links between new drugs and national statistics.
This is the methods and overview companion to the widely cited Sung 2021 report and the reference for how the 2020 figures were built.
India's cancer problem is a late-diagnosis problem as much as a treatment problem: the same cancers that dominate (oral, cervical, breast) are the ones screening and vaccination can prevent or catch early. The numbers set the priorities of the National Cancer Grid, PM-JAY oncology packages and the national screening programme.
This edition is often cited for the disparities finding: progress against cancer in the United States was reaching some communities much more than others.
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.
This edition is widely cited for the early warning about colorectal cancer in younger adults, which later editions confirmed.
CONCORD is the evidence base for national cancer plans and for the statement that where you live changes your chance of surviving cancer. Its country tables are the benchmark health systems use to judge early diagnosis and treatment access.
