The Scandinavian countries exhibit some of the highest incidence rates of ovarian cancer in the world. Prognosis is poor, and the crude 5-year relative survival was 36% in the Nordic countries in the 1980s. Histology-specific prognostic trends in 5-year relative survival of patients with ovarian can

the incidence rate and person-years in the cell. When age, birth cohort and time-period effects were all included in the model, the parameters were not uniquely defined (Clayton and Schifflers, 1987b). In this case, the effects of the first and the last periods were Contract grant sponsor: Norwegian Cancer Society.

Time trends in the incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous cell carcinomas during the period 1973-1991 were examined using data provided by 60 populationbased cancer registries from 32 defined populations in 25 countries. Three components of the incidence trend were studied: age, cale
The magnitude of socio-economic differences in health varies between societies, and over time within societies. Even in the Nordic countries, where socio-economic differences are not as striking as elsewhere, such differences have been observed. We have studied social class variation among 45-to 69-
Despite widespread use of endoscopy and improved surgical treatment, the prognosis for gastric cancer remains poor. Although the incidence has been declining for more than 2 decades, unfavourable changes in relative frequency of histological subtypes and subsites may have occurred. We therefore asse
