Cancer in Germany 2003-2004 Incidence and Trends

The brochure "Cancer in Germany" is published jointly by the Association of Epidemiological Cancer Registries (Gesellschaft der epidemiologischen Krebsregister e.V., GEKID) and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) every two years. It contains data on the total number of new cancer cases in Germany between 1980 and 2004 and on selected individual localizations (incidence and death rates, risk factors, trends, survival chances), each of which is succinctly described and clearly presented. Information on cancer in children is provided by the Children’s Cancer Registry in Mainz in a separate section of this brochure.
