Publisher's Note Screening is now regarded as a cost-effective and clinically useful approach to the prevention or early diagnosis of a range of malignancies, including such common cancers as those of the breast, cervix, and prostate. This book is the latest publication from the Project on Evaluation of Screening for Cancer, organized by the International Union against Cancer (UICC), one of the world's foremost agencies in the field of cancer epidemiology and control. It contains the most up-to-date available recommendations from international authorities on all cancers for which screening has potential, including some sites not previously investigated. Findings from studies in many countries are presented and evaluated, and methodological issues are also discussed. This is therefore an influential and authoritative statement on the scope of cancer screening.
