The seventh volume retains the objectives which were set at the start of this international collaborative project, to produce reliable and accurate data on cancer incidence which can be compared with confidence between populations from any part of the world. The data presented are collected, coded and analysed in a standard manner and are included only after an objective assessment of quality. This volume presents data on 170 populations in 50 countries for the years 1988-92.
Volume VII is available as two separate publications:

The efforts to build up cancer registration in areas of the world for which very little information on cancer occurrence
is available are bearing fruit, and some of the results appear in this volume. There are data from new cancer registries
in Africa, Asia (including, for the first time, from Korea and Vietnam), and from South America (with Argentina and Uruguay
appearing for the first time).
