Abstract

On the occasion of being awarding the 5th Nagayo Mataro Prize for contributions to promoting cancer epidemiology and international involvement in the UICC (International Union against Cancer), the Monbusho Overseas Field Research (International Scientific Research)-Special Cancer Study and others, it is my pleasure to give a concise description of activities in which I have played a role. My achievements in administration and management are only a small part of the whole of what has been accomplished in cancer epidemiology and prevention, but I hope that a comprehensive coverage of the projects in which it has been my good fortune to participate may provide orientation and suggest priorities for research in the coming decades. I have taken part in many meetings that stimulated the interest of young scientists and physicians in epidemiology and prevention. It can be said that efficient administration and management are indispensable for modern scientific research in order to promote information collection and exchange. I, therefore, humbly hope that my experience may be illuminating.
