This book is ostensibly the work of nine named contributors from the Childhood Cancer Research Group (CCRG). In reality, of course, it would not have been possible without the dedicated work of a much larger number of people at the CCRG during the 31 years of its existence and the generous help of many others elsewhere. It is a great pleasure to acknowledge their efforts here, on behalf of myself and my fellow contributors.

We are grateful to all of the following for providing notifications of incident cases of childhood cancer and other information: the English regional cancer registries, now comprising Eastern Cancer Registration and Information Centre, Merseyside and Cheshire Cancer Registry, North Western Cancer Registry, Northern and Yorkshire Cancer Registry and Information Service, Oxford Cancer Intelligence Unit, South and West Cancer Intelligence Service, Thames Cancer Registry, Trent Cancer Registry and West Midlands Cancer Intelligence Unit; the National Cancer Intelligence Centre at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Scottish Cancer Registry and the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit; Bristol Childhood Cancer Research Registry, Manchester Children’s Tumour Registry, Northern Region Young Persons’ Malignant Disease Registry, Oxford Region Leukaemia Register, West Midlands Regional Children’s Tumour Registry and Yorkshire Specialist Register of Cancer in Children and Young People; the UK Children’s Cancer Study Group (UKCCSG); the Childhood Leukaemia Working Party and the Clinical Trial Service Unit. Death notifications have been supplied by ONS (for England and Wales) and the General Register Office (Scotland). Many of the above organizations have undergone changes of name or amalgamation during the past decades. This acknowledgement should be understood to encompass all previous incarnations of these bodies and their constituents that have contributed data to the National Registry of Childhood Tumours (NRCT), and in many cases initially to the Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancers (OSCC). We are grateful to the NHS Central Registers at Southport and Dumfries (formerly Edinburgh) for flagging tens of thousands of children from the NRCT. Without this extremely accurate and efficient system, follow-up on this scale would be prohibitively time-consuming and costly, and undoubtedly less complete. We also thank the many members of the UKCCSG and other consultants and general practitioners who have provided information about patients under their care.
