In classical epidemiology, we have learned a tremendous amount by examining the experiences of those in The Netherlands and other countries, such as Scandinavia, who couple meticulous records on the vital status and health of their populations with high-quality cancer registries. Similarly, in clinical epidemiology and health services research, we gain enormously from evaluating the experiences of other health-care systems with different models of care delivery.
