Childhood cancer mortality in Europe, 1970–2007
European Journal of Cancer, 10/14/09

Bosetti C et al. – To update trends in childhood cancer mortality in Europe, the authors analysed mortality data derived from the World Health Organization for all childhood neoplasms, bone and kidney cancers, non–Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) and leukaemias, in 30 European countries up to 2007. The mortality rates in Eastern – but also Southern – European countries in the mid 2000’s were similar to those in the Western and Northern European ones in the early 1990’s. Some further improvement in childhood cancer mortality is therefore achievable through more widespread and better adoption of currently available treatments.
