Anotace

V originále

From the point of view of malignant neoplasms, the Czech Republic ranks among the most afflicted countries in Europe and worldwide. All neoplasms, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer (C44), have a total incidence rate of almost 500 cases per 100,000 population per year, and the annual mortality rate exceeds 270 deaths per 100,000 population. Although the mortality rate has stabilised since 1995 and the trend has even shown a downward course in some diagnoses, the prevalence of malignant neoplasms remains consistently high due to increasing incidence rate. In 2005, the prevalence rate of malignant diseases (apart from C44) exceeded 270,000 persons in the Czech Republic. The most frequent diagnoses include colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. This chapter provides an overview of the epidemiological trends, as well as an analysis of the data from the Czech National Cancer Registry.
