从卫生组织数据库中摘录的死亡率数据以表格形式列出了1990-1994年期间35个欧洲国家26个癌症地点或地点组的死亡率以及癌症死亡总数。还以图表形式列出了1955-1994年期间24个主要国家的死亡率趋势。在大多数西欧国家，癌症总死亡率在1990年代初首次适度下降。这些有利的趋势包括男性肺癌死亡率有所下降，男女胃癌和妇女宫颈癌持续下降，乳腺癌和结肠直肠癌以及其他肿瘤（睾丸、淋巴肿瘤）有所下降，这些肿瘤的治疗在过去几年中得到了进一步改善。然而，在一些南欧和东欧国家，包括匈牙利和波兰，癌症死亡率仍在上升，这些国家中年男性癌症总死亡率目前是欧洲有史以来最高的。近年来西欧的有利趋势与美国的趋势相似。（C）1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.保留所有权利。
Mortality data, abstracted from the WHO database, are presented in tabular form for 26 cancer sites or groups of sites, plus total cancer mortality, in 35 European countries during the period 1990-1994. Trends in mortality are also given in graphical form for 24 major countries over the period 1955-1994. In most western European countries total cancer mortality was-for the first time-moderately downwards in the early 1990s. Such favourable trends included some decline in lung cancer mortality for males, the persistent decline in stomach cancer for both sexes, and of cervical cancer for women, as well as some decline in breast and colorectal cancers, plus other neoplasms (testis, lymphoid neoplasms), whose treatment has further improved over the last few years. However, cancer mortality was still upwards in a few southern and eastern European countries, including Hungary and Poland, where total cancer mortality rates in middle-aged males are now the highest ever registered in Europe. The favourable trends in western Europe over the recent years are similar to those observed in the U.S.A. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
