TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided updated estimates of national trends in cancer incidence and mortality for France for 1980-2005 for 25 cancer sites and found that the number of new cancer cases in 2005 was approximately 320,000, which corresponds to an 89% increase since 1980.

TL;DR: The divergence of cancer incidence and mortality trends in France over the 1980-2005 period can be explained by the combined effects of a decrease in the incidence of the most aggressive cancers and an increase in the occurrence of less aggressive cancers, partly due to changes in medical practices leading to earlier diagnoses.

TL;DR: The TCC analysed the temporal incidence trend in France, evaluated the contribution of changes in diagnostic practices of thyroid diseases to the observed increase of TC, and set up guidelines to improve the national surveillance system of TC.

TL;DR: A major evolution in clinical practices has led to the increase in thyroid cancer reported in France over time, and changes in medical, as well as in surgical and pathological, practices must be taken into account in incidence measurement.

TL;DR: The increase in breast cancer incidence in women under 40 was low and steady over the 20-year period considered, and even though young women did not experience such a major change in diagnostic practices as the development of screening among women aged 50-74, it is difficult to distinguish the effects of possible changes in risk factors and in diagnostic Practices in the slight increase observed.
