Journal Overview
The International Journal of Cancer (IJC) is the official journal of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). IJC has a global readership and receives over 3,000 submissions a year under a broad scope of topics relevant to experimental and clinical cancer research. We invite and encourage original Research Articles and Short Reports.

Estimating the global cancer incidence and mortality in 2018: GLOBOCAN sources and methods
- 1941-1953
- 23 October 2018
Abstract
What's new?
The GLOBOCAN database, compiled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), is updated regularly, providing timely estimates on national cancer incidence and mortality. Here, the authors, associated with the IARC, describe the data sources and methods used to compute global cancer incidence and mortality estimates for 38 specific cancers detailed in GLOBOCAN 2018. The authors further describe novel uncertainty intervals, newly derived from a method incorporating covariates that contribute to uncertainty in cancer estimation. Uncertainty intervals are presented alongside overall estimates, which indicate that 18.1 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths occurred globally in 2018.
Cancer incidence and mortality worldwide: Sources, methods and major patterns in GLOBOCAN 2012
- E359-E386
- 13 September 2014
Abstract
What's new?
In this report, we present the most recent cancer incidence and mortality statistics (for 2012) for the major cancers in 20 regions of the world. Details of the data sources and methods used in GLOBOCAN to compile the estimates at the national level are provided, and we introduce a novel alphanumeric scoring system to give a broad indication of the robustness of the estimation within each country. A global snapshot of the patterns by cancer site brings focus to the need for regional prioritisation of cancer control efforts, as well as the ongoing efforts to improve the limited surveillance systems in many low and middle income countries.
