This project will allow the registries involved to:
- Contribute to an updated global picture of cancer incidence in children and adolescents, and thus provide background for etiological studies and public health decision-makers;
- Verify if their data meet with international quality standards and improve them if necessary; and
- Increase the visibility of their registry in their country and worldwide.
The cancers of interest to the IICC-3 project are rare. Large international studies are therefore required to produce meaningful results. The Editors aim to include as many high-quality datasets as possible, so as to represent the worldwide variety in underlying incidence rates as fully as possible. They welcome all suggestions from registries for this publication to be a success. At the end of the process, the registry "chapter" in the monograph will become a peer-reviewed publication.
