Cancer incidence and mortality in Spain: estimates and projections for the period 1981–2012

Abstract

Estimates and projections of cancer incidence and mortality show divergent trends in Spain by sex and tumour type. This information is basic for planning and enhancing public health strategies and resources.

Estimation of the Projections of the Incidence Rates, Mortality and Prevalence Due to Common Cancer Site in Isfahan, Iran

“…Western countries such as Italy and Spain reached a top of incidence and mortality rates. Therefore, now down turning or plateau trend has seen with respect to the breast cancer Sanchez et al, 2010;Jemal et al, 2011). The extensive rise in estimated breast cancer incidence during our study period is almost consistent with the up-to-date data from Isfahan population based cancer registry (2010).…”

“…The results show an upward pattern and no sex-related differences in incidence for stomach and lung cancer, and also for all cancer combined with exception non melanoma skin cancers which reported previously (Maracy et al, 2012). Incidence trends in European countries is quietly associated with sex and rates in male are decreasing or reached a turning point while for females continue to rise (Grande et al, 2006;Moller et al, 2007;Sanchez et al, 2010). In this study, males and females displayed an increasing pattern for incidence and mortality rate over the entire study period by 2015.…”

“…The downward incidence trend was registered among men in several studies. In contrast, the incidence rate for a woman is continuing to increase Sanchez et al, 2010). It is being compatible with fall in and rising in cigarette smoking in males and females respectively in recent decades (Adami et al, 2008).…”

El càncer de mama, avui: Avenços en l'epidemiologia del càncer de mama femení

“…Les comunitats que van implantar abans el garbellament mostren que la incidència cau després de l'exhauriment de població susceptible de ser inclosa en el programa, per a estabilitzar-se o fins i tot tornar a augmentar posteriorment. Cada any es diagnostiquen 27.000 casos nous de càncer de mama en dones espanyoles (Sánchez et al 2010).…”

Evidencias sobre la prevención del cáncer

“…Since 2005, tumors are the first cause of death in men. As far as incidence is concerned, according to the Spanish records concerning the 1998-2002 period, among men there were between 321 and 511 cases/100.000 men, and between 204 and 286 cases/100.000 among women [1][2] . The most common tumors found in men are lung, prostate and colorectal cancer and in women breast and colorectal cancer, and these forms of cancer are the leading causes of death from cancer.…”
