Journal ArticleDOI
The completeness of the Swedish Cancer Register: a sample survey for year 1998.
TL;DR: The overall completeness of the SCR is high and comparable to other high quality registers in Northern Europe, and the degree of underreporting is site specific, increases with age, and does not seem to be random.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Age below 45 years at the time of transplantation was the most important determinant for increased risk at most sites, consistent with the theory that an impaired immune system allows carcinogenic factors to act.
Journal ArticleDOI
Work-related Cancer in the Nordic Countries
TL;DR: Lung cancer was the most frequent cancer among men in the present study and there was also an excess risk of pleural cancer in the occupational group of technical, chemical, physical, and biological workers, including, among others, engineers and chemists potentially exposed to asbestos.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Long-term survivors of childhood cancer had an increased mortality rate, mainly dying from primary cancers, however, modern treatments have reduced late cancer mortality without increasing the rate of therapy-related deaths.
Journal Article

TL;DR: Testicular cancer incidence is still increasing, with the exception of Denmark, and a large geographic difference exists, but the increasing trend is mainly a birth cohort phenomenon also in recent cohorts.
