Incidence and mortality estimates
Incidence estimates for 2022 are based on data from the European cancer registries participating in the International Agency for Research for Cancer (IARC) Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Volume XII.
Mortality estimates in 2022 are based on mortality data extracted from the WHO mortality database, unless otherwise specified.
Long-term estimates
The long-term estimates up to 2040 are based on the projected 2022 incidence and mortality rates and the projected populations up to year 2040 from EUROSTAT.
Incidence and mortality historical data
Historical incidence data are provided by population-based cancer registries affiliated to the European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR). Historical mortality data - provided by the same cancer registries or retrieved from EUROSTAT - derive from official statistical offices.
