Abstract:
The Italian Network of Cancer Registries (AIRT) built three databases for the study of cancer trends in Italy during 1986-1997: incident cases, deaths and populations observed by the eighteen Italian Cancer Registries active on about 23% of the Italian resident population. The incidence data have been validated through ad hoc programmes and CHECK-IARC. A pool of nine Cancer Registries, that had an almost complete coverage for the study period 1986-1997, has been chosen for the trend analysis (pool AIRT). 525,645 cases and 269,902 deaths have been analysed on a total of 8 million residents.
