| Résumé : | In 2005 a total of 57,185 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in Belgium, 31,484 in males and 25,701 in females. About one in three males and one in four females will develop a cancer before the age of 75 years. Childhood cancer forms less than 1% of all malignant tumours, this corresponds with 350 new cancer diagnoses in 2005. The most frequently occurring tumour in males is prostate cancer, followed by lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Breast, colorectal and lung are the most frequently occurring malignancies in females. A total number of 25,693 patients died from cancer in 2004 in Belgium, 14,659 males and 11,034 females. The major cause of death by cancer is lung cancer in males and breast cancer in females. In addition to incidence tables and graphs, a geographical representation of the Belgian cancer incidence is included for a number of common malignancies. |
