Cancer in Germany 2003-2004
Incidence and Trends
The brochure "Cancer in Germany 2003-2004, Incidence and Trends" is published jointly by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the Association of Population-based Cancer Registries in Germany (GEKID) every two years. The sixth edition was published as a contribution to Federal Health Reporting (GBE) for the first time in February of this year and is now available in English translation. It contains data on the total number of new cancer cases in Germany diagnosed between 1980 and 2004, and on selected individual cancer sites, each of which is succinctly described and clearly presented (with information on incidence and mortality rates, risk factors, trends and survival). Data on cancer in children and adolescents is provided by the Children’s Cancer Registry
