Description

The number of cancer diagnoses has been increasing during the last decades as a result of the improved diagnostic capacities and the demographic modifications. More than half of the subjects who are newly diagnosed with cancer are today aged 65 years or older. These estimates are expected to increase in the next decades as reported by the Italian Association of Cancer Registries AIRTUM 2017 data. Similar figures are quite consistent across high income countries.
