Childhood cancer incidence in Canada: demographic and geographic variation of temporal trends (1992-2010).

CONCLUSION: Increasing incidence trends for all cancers and selected malignancies are consistent with those reported in other developed countries, and may reflect the changes in demographics and etiological exposures, and artefacts of changes in cancer coding, diagnosis and reporting. Significant decreasing trend for astrocytoma in late childhood was observed for the first time. PMID: 29537768 [PubMed - in process]
