| Abstract: | Cancer incidence is defined as the occurrence of new cancers in a defined population during a specified time period. This report includes all cancers notified to the registry that were first diagnosed between 1st January 1998 and 31st December 2000 in residents of the Maltese Islands. These tumours were coded with the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Second Edition (ICD-O-2)1 for both their morphology (histology) and topography (site). In this report, cancers are grouped by ICD-l02 as described in Table 1 (pg. 7-9). |
