“…The percent of other and unspecified neoplasms (195–199 ICD) was 0.68%. Death certificate–only cases in the original ad hoc survey were not considered due to the short registration period [14]. For the second period, the incidence data were collected, coded, stored and analyzed in accordance with the standard methods recommended for cancer registries [15].…”

“…Mean age of incidence was 72.9 years and the percent of histological verifications were 63.0. The follow–up was carried out mainly by direct verification at the Registrar’s Office of several municipalities and by examining the regional death Registry (RENCAM) and the regional list of persons in the National Health Service [14]. The vital status of each registered case was verified up to December 31, 1997.…”

The aim of this work was to make a study of the whole population of a central Italian region, the Umbria region--cancer survival rates for the upper aerodigestive tract, which includes cancers of the head and neck (tongue, oral cavity, pharynx), oesophagus and larynx. In Italy cancer survival rates do not cover entire regions but single municipalities or provinces. Cases of incidence were derived from an 'ad hoc' survey carried out during the period 1978-1982. Starting from the nominative data, we studied up to 15 years 245 head and neck, 87 oesophagus and 321 larynx cases of cancer in males. Data for female cases were not considered because of the small number. Cancer cases were followed up mainly by verification at the Registry Office of several municipalities, the Regional Death Registry and the list of persons under the Regional Health Service. Observed survival rates for head and neck cancer were 0.63, 0.29, 0.17 and 0.12 at 1, 5, 10 and 15 years of follow-up respectively; rates for cancers of the oesophagus and larynx were 0.30, 0.08, 0.06, 0.03 and 0.79, 0.54, 0.41, 0.30 respectively. Relative survival rates were 0.65, 0.34, 0.24, 0.23 for cancer of the head and neck, 0.31, 0.10, 0.09, 0.08 for cancer of the oesophagus, and 0.81, 0.63, 0.59, 0.56 for cancer of the larynx, at 1, 5, 10 and 15 years of follow-up. The worst survival rates were observed for oesophagus and hypopharynx. Overall survival values for Umbrian patients were relatively good, being higher than survival data reported for a similar period by Italian Cancer Registries. They were also strikingly similar to survival rates for England and Scotland.
