It is difficult to estimate the number of people around the world who work diligently to collect the data that are presented in Cancer Incidence in Five Continents. One thing is clear: it is a large number.

Their combined work is summarized in the pages of this volume. Cancer Incidence in Five Continents has become the recognized reference source on the incidence of cancer in populations around the world. The ninth volume has a wider coverage than before, presenting data from around the year 2000 (ideally the period 1998-2002) not only for entire populations, but also for sub-populations living in the same geographic area.

This volume presents incidence data from populations all over the world for which good quality data are available. Scanning through the information gives a clear presentation of the changing cancer patterns worldwide. The nine volumes of Cancer Incidence in Five Continents now cover a period of approximately forty years.

Advances in Cancer Research
Volume 68 of <b>Advances in Cancer Research</b> continues the tradition of publishing up-to-date reviews and "hot" topics in cancer research. This volume begins with a "Foundations in Cancer Research" article by Harald zur Hausen that reviews his years of research on the idea that cancer can be triggered by infection. The structure and function of the cytokine receptor superfamily and its association with leukemias are discussed in depth by James Ihle. Marcia Hall and Gordon Peters review the evidence indicating that genetic abnormalities hinder the function of certain cyclins and their inhibitors. The most widely studied protooncogene, c-<i>myc</i>, is reviewed by Marie Henriksson and Bernhard Lüscher&#x3b; the chapter focuses on the function of c-<i>myc</i> as a transcription factor rather than on the effects of gene translocation and activation on malignancies. Ham Werner and Derek LeRoith present data on the role that insulin-like growth factors play on cell growth and regulation. In the final chapter, Olli-P. Kallioniemi and Tapio Visakorpi investigate the field of prostate cancer and, more importantly, the biological reason and natural history behind the growth of this cancer.
