“…15 Death certification for laryngeal cancer is sufficiently reliable to permit meaningful inference on trends for most European countries. 16,17 No major changes in the classification and coding of laryngeal cancer occurred across subsequent Revisions of the ICD, thus it is unlikely that mortality trends have been materially influenced by changes in diagnosis and certification of the disease. In particular, data in middle-age are more reliable and valid than the overall ones.…”

After a steady increase between the 1950s and the 1970s, laryngeal cancer mortality has been levelling off since the early 1980s in men from most western and southern European countries and since the early 1990s in central and eastern Europe. To update trends in laryngeal cancer mortality, we analyzed data provided by the World Health Organization over the last two decades for 34 European countries and the European Union (EU) as a whole. For major European countries, we also identified significant changes in trends between 1980 and 2012 using joinpoint regression analysis. Male mortality in the EU was approximately constant between 1980 and 1991 (annual percent change, APC=−0.5%) and declined by 3.3% per year in 1991–2012. EU age‐standardized (world population) rates were 4.7/100,000 in 1990–91 and 2.5/100,000 in 2010–2011. Rates declined in most European countries, particularly over the last two decades. In 2010–11, the highest male rates were in Hungary, the Republic of Moldova, and Romania (over 6/100,000), and the lowest ones in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland (below 1/100,000). In EU women, mortality was stable around 0.29/100,000 between 1980 and 1994 and slightly decreased thereafter (APC=−1.3%; 0.23/100,000 in 2000–01). We also considered male incidence trends for nine European countries or cancer registration areas. In most of them, declines were observed over recent decades. Laryngeal cancer mortality thus showed favourable trends over the last few decades in most Europe, following favourable changes in tobacco and, mostly for Mediterranean countries, alcohol consumption.

“…When interpreting trends in cancer mortality, it is important to consider the problems of death certification reliability and validity [23,24]. In general, for several common cancer sites including lung, stomach and breast, death certification is sufficiently reliable to permit meaningful inference with respect to trends [4].…”

“…Despite potential uncertainties in the distinction between hypophaynx and epilarynx, 15,16 and a moderate degree of overreporting of this cause of death in the 1970s, 17 death certification for laryngeal cancer is sufficiently reliable to permit meaningful inference on trends for most European countries. 17,18 As no major change has been introduced in the classification and coding of laryngeal cancer across subsequent revisions of ICD, it is unlikely that these trends have been materially influenced by changes in diagnosis and certification of the disease. Furthermore, rates in the middle-aged population are less likely to be affected by certification problems.…”

After a steady increase since the 1950s, laryngeal cancer mortality had tended to level off since the early 1980s in men from most European countries. To update trends in laryngeal cancer mortality in Europe, age‐standardized (world standard) mortality rates per 100,000 were derived from the WHO mortality database for 33 European countries over the period 1980–2001. Jointpoint analysis was used to identify significant changes in mortality rates. In the European Union (EU) as a whole, male mortality declined by 0.8% per year between 1980 and 1989, by 2.8% between 1989 and 1995, by 5.3% between 1995 and 1998, and by 1.5% thereafter (rates were 5.1/100,000 in 1980–1981 and 3.3/100,000 in 2000–2001). This mainly reflects a decrease in rates in men from western and southern European countries, which had exceedingly high rates in the past. Male laryngeal mortality rose up to the early 1990s, and leveled off thereafter in several countries from central and eastern Europe. In 2000–2001 there was still a 10–15‐fold variation in male laryngeal mortality between the highest rates in Croatia (7.9/100,000) and Hungary (7.7/100,000) and the lowest ones in Sweden (0.5/100,000) and Finland (0.8/100,000). Laryngeal cancer mortality was comparatively low in women from most European countries, with stable rates around 0.3/100,000 in the EU as a whole over the last 2 decades. Laryngeal cancer trends should be interpreted in terms of patterns and changes in exposure to alcohol and tobacco. Despite recent declines, the persistence of a wide variability in male laryngeal cancer mortality indicates that there is still ample scope for prevention of laryngeal cancer in Europe. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
