International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN)

Description:
The ICSN is a voluntary consortium of countries that have active population-based cancer screening programs. These programs can be national or subnational in scope and established or pilot based. Administered by the Applied Research Program of NCI, the consortium was established in December 1988 as the International Breast Cancer Screening Database Project during an international workshop involving representatives from 11 countries. The consortium has since grown to encompass 28 countries and holds biennial meetings. In the interim, the specific activities are moved forward through working groups.
