After presenting main indicators specifically developed analyse these data, provide concrete illustration method based on comparison cancer- related in Italy France. The results for two countries are strikingly similar. change modest anatomic sites: cancer often selected as underlying (UCD). notable exception (cancer prostate) potentially exemplifies future trends, more effective treatments increased incidence disease among elderly people due population ageing, cancers may play contributing role mortality. For all sites, reporting neoplasm both feature cancer-related We then categorize other into five patterns ('degeneration cause', 'risk factor UCD', 'common 'consequence/complication UCD' 'symptom UCD') that reflect current medical knowledge.
