Trends in Irish cancer incidence 1994-2002

This report contains projections of cancer numbers in Ireland to 2020, based on trends from 1994-2003 and population projections to 2036. The total number of new cancers is predicted to increase by 90% (from 22,019 to 41,743) between 1998-2002 and 2020, with a larger increase occurring in men (97%) than in women (83%). If invasive cancers (excluding NMSC) only are considered, the projected increase is 109%, again larger for men (117%) than for women (101%).
