The authors, Dr. Jorge de Marsillac, chief of the Organization and Control Department of The National Cancer Service; and Professor Achilles Scorzelli Jr. Director of the Public Health School, make several remarks about Cancer Epidemiology in Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, during the period from 1952 to 1956.
