The development of EUCAN estimates was funded by the Cancéropôle Lyon, Auvergne, Rhone-Alps (CLARA), the local authorities of the Rhone Department and the Greater Lyon Area, the European Commission (DG Sanco and DG Research) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The aim of EUCAN is to disseminate country-specific information on cancer burden, which is derived from data collected by the existing cancer registries and from the WHO mortality database. The current 2012 estimates for 40 countries and 25 cancer sites were launched on 4th February 2013. Read more here.
