✦ Synopsis


BACKGROUND.

Cancer incidence and mortality rates rarely are studied in people age ΟΎ 85 years. Usually, patients ages 65 years, 75 years, and 85 years of age are combined into 1 group because of small numbers. The number of people age Υ† 85 years in the Netherlands increased from 99,000 in 1976 to 203,000 in 1995 (an increase of 105%). The growth of the total population in this period was only 13%.

This study addressed cancer incidence and mortality rates among the very elderly in the Netherlands.

METHODS.

Cancer mortality data (1976 -1995) and population data were obtained from Statistics Netherlands, whereas cancer incidence data (1989 -1995) were provided by the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Cancer incidence and mortality rates were calculated and trends in cancer mortality were studied.
