Sažetak Cancer is a major public health issue worldwide. It is very important to have high-quality epidemiological data to plan the measures in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, to benchmark in comparison to other countries and to assess trends for particular cancer sites. This paper presents the basic epidemiology indicators for Croatia, explains the concepts surrounding the data collection and analytical procedures for essential epidemiological parameters and presents the most recent data, estimates and comparisons in the advent of the first Croatian National Cancer Plan.
