The Steering Committee announced plans to compare cancer incidence in Jordan and Israel, using the recently completed 1996 data sets from the registries in both countries. MECC registries (as well as other emerging registries in the developing world) are installing new cancer registry software, called CanReg 3, which is being supplied by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France.
MECC also is planning to issue a call for proposals to conduct breast cancer epidemiologic studies in the region. NCI epidemiologists Elaine Ron, M.D., and Sandra Melnick, Ph.D., attended the Steering Committee meeting to discuss possible epidemiologic studies in both breast cancer and lymphoma. Details on the call for proposals will be posted on the MECC website (www.mecc.org.il).
