Belgium ; Neoplasms ; statistics and numerical data [Subheading]Abstract: In 2005 a total number of 57,185 new cases of cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) were diagnosed in Belgium. In general, cancer occurs more frequently in males (31,484) than in females (25,701). About one in three men and one in four women will develop a cancer before their 75th birthday.
Cancer chiefl y affects older persons: approximately 62% of the females and 75% of the males are 60 years or older at the time of diagnosis. In 2005 a total number of 350 new cancer cases occurred in children (less than 1% of the cancers).
The most frequently occurring tumour in males is prostate cancer, followed by lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In females the most frequently occurring tumours are breast cancer (more than one third of all cancers in women), colorectal cancer and lung cancer. A total number of 25,693 patients died from cancer in 2004 in Belgium, 14,659 males and 11,034 females. The major cause of death by cancer in males is lung cancer (about one third of all male cancer deaths) while breast cancer is the most frequent cause of death by cancer in females.
Comparison with registration data from other European countries suggests that the incidence rates of breast cancer, head and neck cancer in females and prostate cancer are among the highest in Europe.
Owing to improved registration techniques, it was possible to perform separate analyses on the data from all three Belgian regions. In general, the results were largely comparable between the regions. However for some tumour types, differences were observed. A higher risk for head and neck cancer was observed in the southwest of Belgium. A higher incidence of lung cancer was mainly observed in females in the Walloon and Brussels Capital Region.
The evolution of incidence rates over the last 7 years period has only been described for the Flemish Region, because data from the other 2 regions were incomplete before 2004. Breast cancer and prostate cancer incidence have increased, mainly as a result of screening practices. Specifi cally for lung cancer and some subtypes of head and neck cancer a decrease in the sex ratio (M/F) over years was noted. Females are evolving towards the same risk as males in developing these tobacco-related cancers.
In addition to standard tables and graphs, a geographical representation of the Belgian cancer incidence is included for the more common malignancies. The methodology (mapping of smoothed incidence for the whole country, with exception of the large cities where the agestandardised incidence is represented) was developed by the Finnish Cancer Registry.
