Cancer registration in England and Wales was begun in 1929 by the Radium Commission. The work was transferred to the General Register Office in 1947 and thence to its successor, the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS). National coverage, though not 100% registration, was achieved in 1962. Meanwhile a parallel system was established in Scotland, cover- ing the whole country by 1959. The National Cancer Registry in England and Wales is the largest population-based registry in the world, containing over five million case records; though it is inevitable that some cancers will escape registration, studies of selected groups indicate a high degree of completeness of ascertainment.' 2
