Comparison of cancer incidence and mortality in the Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort, 1960-2018

Conclusions
Assessment of incidence or mortality did not greatly influence the interpretation of results. The most prominent differences in SIR and SMR appeared to be due to inconsistencies between sites of cancer diagnosis and cause of death. The difference in SIR and SMR for prostate cancer suggested a detection bias from differential screening practices.
