Cancer in Poland in 2006

The 2006 report from Poland's National Cancer Registry, KRN (in Polish and English), presents data on counts and rates for total cancer deaths by year for 1963-2006, and more detailed data on larynx, corpus uteri, kidney, and thyroid cancer. Numbers and rates for incidence and mortality in 2006 are given by cancer site, sex, and 5-year age group as well as by site, sex, and voivodeship; MI ratios by sex and site or voivodeship for 2006 are included as well. Finally, some data on 5-year relative survival are presented for diagnoses from 1999-2002. Data was provided by 16 subnational cancer registries; registration is uneven among provinces, however, and overall underregistration for the country is estimated at about 9% for 2006.
