ICD-O-3.2
The IARC/WHO ICD-O Committee1 has updated the draft ICD-O-3.1 classification, with new morphology codes and terms from the 4th series of WHO Classification of Tumours (Blue Books). The IACR Working Group on ICD-O Updates2 has compiled a listing of additions, changes and revisions between ICD-O-3.1 and ICD-O-3.2 as a reference material for cancer registries.
Both documents have been revised according to the comments received during the consultation period and the final Excel tables are available for download in our Support for registries pages.
The ICD-O-3.2 book in pdf format is in preparation. We would like to thank all registries and individuals for comments provided to the draft versions.

GLOBOCAN
The last release of the GLOBOCAN database (September 2018) includes estimates of the incidence of, mortality and prevalence from 36 types of cancer and for all cancers combined in 185 countries of the world. The estimates are presented for 2018, separately for each sex and for the 18 traditional age-groups. The results are available at the IARC Global Cancer Observatory web site (http://gco.iarc.fr/).
The online tool allows the production of tables and visual descriptions of the current cancer burden by country or region, and permits projections regarding future cancer burden over the next 20 years.

Childhood Cancer: IICC-3
The International Incidence of Childhood Cancer (IICC) is a collaborative project of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) to disseminate the available data on the incidence of cancer in children around the world.
This is being achieved through the publication of a monograph, the third volume in the IICC series (IICC-3), co-sponsored by the Union of International Cancer Control (UICC). Data from 440 registries in five continents have been collected, validated, analyzed and evaluated. More than 300 registries provided high quality datasets and were selected for publication for IICC-3 after reigorous peer review by the IICC-3 Editors. The online data has just been released on the occasion of the International Childhood Cancer Day last 15 February 2017.
The IICC-3 Editors acknowledge contribution of all the registries to the improvement of quality and comparability of global data on childhood cancer incidence.
