| Popis: | The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer from 1957 to 1991 were studied in the Cancer Registry of Norway. The age-adjusted incidence rate increased from 26.3 to 46.6 per 100 000 person-years during the period, and more than 2000 cases are now registered yearly. The increase tends to be higher in the younger age groups, 50–59 years, and among the oldest, 90+ years. An increase was also found in cause-specific mortality, signifying a real increase in incidence over time. There is a slight urban dominance in incidence of prostate cancer. Autopsy findings account for less than 1.7% of the total. The histo- and cytological verification rate reached 94% in 1987–1991 and the percentage of localised cases was 68.4%. The median age at diagnosis in 1987–1991 was 75.1 years. Data on stage at time of diagnosis, histological differentiation and survival, reflect a small influence of earlier diagnosis. Model analysis revealed no particular birth cohort effect, either on incidence or on mortality. |
