Cancer Incidence in Belgium, 2004-2005

The publication 'Cancer Incidence in Belgium, 2004-2005' compiles cancer incidence data in Belgium for the years 2004–2005. The first chapter covers the history of cancer registration in Belgium, together with the methodology and an evaluation of the results. The second and third chapters respectively contain general cancer incidence data and results for a selection of specific tumour groups. The appendices contain cancer incidence data for Belgium, the three regions, and the country’s German-speaking region. The figures provide the basis for a better understanding of cancer incidence and allow tentative comparisons both within regions and beyond.
