Summary
Cer Epidemiology. (1976) Lyon: International Agency for Research on Cancer, Allowing for the naturally slow tempo and Heidelberg: Deutsches Krebsfors- of developments in clinical oncology, the chungszentrum. 461 pp. Needed for monitoring incidence, which is all some population-based registries do, but such registries should still consider adopting those parts of the proposed format that are relevant to their concerns-and as cancer control services become more comprehensive, integrated and populationbased, the need is growing for populationbased registries to monitor outcome as well as incidence. Some of the Handbook's proposals for obtaining such information have been criticized-notably its reckoning of survival from presentation at hospital, rather than from first treatment as has been usual in England-but such changes seem a small price to pay for international comparability, and it is to be hoped that all cancer registries will do what they can to incorporate the Handbook's system in their own.
