Trends in the frequency of cancer in France

We present and discuss recent data on the frequency of cancer in France. In the male population, the incidence of cancer has been stable since 2010 and mortality is decreasing; changes in the incidence of all cancers are dominated by changes in the incidence of prostate cancer, which is highly dependent on the extent of screening. In the female population, cancer incidence is rising and mortality is falling; the increase in the incidence of all cancers is partly due to the rise in the incidence of lung cancer, a consequence of women taking up smoking in the early 1970s.PMID:37858423 | DOI:10.1016/j.bulcan.2023.09.007
