Time trends in cancer incidence and mortality in Norway.

The aim of this study is to decribe the trends in incidence and mortality of cancer by calendar time.

Most types of cancer, except those with high case fatality short time after the diagnosis, demonstrate a

larger increase in incidence than in mortality over time. For persons below 70 years of age during the

period 1931-95 the mortality rate has been close to constant. Obviously, the mortality of lung and

stomach cancer has changed over time, however, these have changed in different direction and almost

levelled out. In this paper, it is discussed how registration routines, classification rules, treatment results

and the basis of the diagnosis can influence the incidence and mortality trends.
