Lung cancer mortality and soil content of arsenic and cadmium: an ecological study in 26 EU countries Open
Background Environmental risk factors, such as exposure to air pollution, are linked with lung cancer. However, potential health impacts of exposure to carcinogenic pollutants in soil are less defined. In this ecological study, we evaluate…

Cancer cure for 32 cancer types: results from the EUROCARE-5 study Open
Background Few studies have estimated the probability of being cured for cancer patients. This study aims to estimate population-based indicators of cancer cure in Europe by type, sex, age and period. Methods 7.2 million cancer patients (4…

Assessing predicted age-specific breast cancer mortality rates in 27 European countries by 2020 Open
For the year 2020, our predictions have shown a converging pattern of BC mortality rates between European regions. Reducing disparities, in access to screening and treatment, could have a substantial effect in countries where a non-decreas…

The need for a rapid and comprehensive adoption of the revised European standard population in cancer incidence comparisons Open
As cancer incidence varies according to age, it is important to rule out differences in age structures in any comparison. A common way of adjusting for these differences is using direct age standardization, which applies age-specific weigh…
