Analysis of age-specific trajectories of cancer incidence rates for all sites combined ( data source: International Agency for Research on Cancer) reveals a leveling-off and decline of the rates at old ages in different countries and time periods. We apply a nonlinear age-period-cohort model ( James and Segal 1982) to obtain declining cancer incidence rates at old ages. The age effects are represented by a power function of age in accordance with a multistage model of carcinogenesis ( Armitage and Doll 1954). Applications to cancer incidence in England and Wales, Japan ( Miyagi prefecture) and the USA ( New York State and San Francisco) illustrate the approach. Further topics of research are discussed.
