Abstract
Recent years have seen the publication of many national cancer atlases, both outside and inside Europe. Unfortunately, as they lack uniform presentation, a picture of the cancer situation in the EEC cannot be readily constructed. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), believing that cancer patterns are not likely to follow national boundaries, embarked on the production of a mortality atlas for the EEC countries, which is to be published later this year.
