Abstract
Background: We have established and/or upgraded cancer registries in four Pacific countries, a region
where few cancer registries exist. We report age-standardised cancer incidence in Tonga (2000-2005), Fiji
(2002-2005), Cook Islands (2000-2005) and Niue (2000-2005), and in Pacific people in New Zealand (2000-
2005).
