However, caution must be exercised when interpreting the data, recognizing the current limitations in the quality and coverage of cancer data, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The data presented in the Global Cancer Observatory are the best available for each country worldwide. The platform focuses on the visualization of cancer indicators to illustrate the changing scale, epidemiological profile, and impact of the disease worldwide, using data from several key projects of IARC’s Branch of Cancer Surveillance (CSU), including GLOBOCAN Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) International Incidence of Childhood Cancer (IICC) and Cancer Survival in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Central America (SurvCan). The Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) is an interactive web-based platform presenting global cancer statistics to inform cancer control and cancer research.
