Incidence in Mortality

 

The increased number of new cases of cancer, exclusive of non-melanoma skin cancers, is mainly due to a growing and aging population.

Between 1997 and 2006, incidence rates declined by at least 2% per year for stomach and lung cancers in males and for larynx cancer in both sexes.

Excluding lung cancer, the overall cancer mortality rate has dropped by 20% in females since 1981.

Between 1996 and 2005, overall mortality rates declined significantly for both sexes. The rates declined by at least 2% per year for lung, oral, prostate and larynx cancers in males; cervical cancer in females; and stomach cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in both sexes.
