    Author: Vercelli M, Bellù F.
    Journal: Epidemiol Prev; 2004; 28(2 Suppl):75-81. PubMed ID: 15281610.
    Abstract:
    The present paper presents the temporal trend analysis of prostate and testis cancers within the Italian Network of Cancer Registries (pool AIRT) for the period 1986-1997. As regards prostate cancer (27,477 incident cases and 11,189 deaths analysed), incidence showed a strong increasing trend, particularly evident in the period 1991-1994, during which standardised rates increased on an average of 12.1% every year. Mortality showed a slight, but significant, decreasing trend. Testis cancer (1,808 incident cases and 185 deaths) incidence increased significantly from 1986 to 1997 and mortality was stable.
