Dataset

Incidence: Data on new cancer cases in Belgium are collected by the Belgian Cancer Registry (BCR). For the current study, we selected 80 ICD-10 (C00.0-96.9 and chronic myeloid neoplasms) codes resulting in 57 cancer sites. Data were extracted by year (from 2004 to 2021), age group (5-years), sex and region (N=3). We excluded "Respiratory system and intrathoracic organs, NOS (not otherwise specified)" from further analyses because of too few cases.
