The Icelandic Cancer Registry (ICR) was founded seventy years ago by the Icelandic Cancer Society. In 2007 the ICR became one of the health registers of the Directorate of Health. In this paper we present cancer incidence, mortality, and survival in Iceland over 70 years. ⋯ Population-based cancer registration for over 70 years makes it possible to monitor the epidemiology of cancer in Iceland and compare with other countries. The changes in trends in ASI are in line with changes of cancer risk factors and diagnostic policy. The decline in cancer mortality and improvement in survival reflects advances in cancer treatment as well as effects of early detection and prevention.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Gastrointestinal symptoms and dietary intake of patients with irritable bowel syndrome following a low FODMAP diet].
High FODMAP (fermentable oligo-, di, monosaccharides and polyols) foods have been linked with worsening symptoms of IBS patients. The aim was to compare gastrointestinal symptoms and dietary intake of patients with irritable bowel syndrome following a low FODMAP diet, with or without individual nutrition therapy. ⋯ Both groups experienced relieve of symptoms, but compliance to the low FODMAP diet was better in the group receiving individual nutrition therapy compared with the group who only received instructions on how to learn about low FODMAP diet online.
