Steliarova-Foucher E, Colombet M, Ries LAG, et al, and the IICC-3 contributors. International incidence of childhood cancer, 2001–10: a population-based registry study. Lancet Oncol 2017; 18: 719–31—In this Article, the coverage of the population of east Asia in table 1 in the “Age 0–14 years” column should have been 4·4%, and in the “Age 15–19 years” column, 4·0%. Consequently, the fourth sentence in the first paragraph of the Results should have read “Approximately 11·4% of the world population aged 0–14 years (contributing 18 376 710 144 person-years) was covered by the registries included in our study, ranging from 1·7% in south Asia (India) to 99·4% in North America (table 1).” These corrections have been made to the online version as of June 2, 2017, and the printed Article is correct.
