TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of including death certificate initiated (DCI) cases in the Cancer Registry of Norway when estimating cancer incidence and survival, and found that including DCI cases increased the incidence of all cancers combined by 2.6%, with largest differences for cancers with poorer prognosis and for older age groups.

International patterns in incidence and mortality trends of pancreatic cancer in the last three decades: A joinpoint regression analysis

TL;DR: The general pattern of rising pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality was seen across countries worldwide in observed period, and females in France and India showed the most marked rise in incidence rates, whereas the mortality trends were decreasing in both sexes only in Canada and Mexico.

Comparison of cancer incidence and mortality in the Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort, 1960–2018

TL;DR: The most prominent differences in SIR and SMR appeared to be due to inconsistencies between sites of cancer diagnosis and cause of death, which suggested a detection bias from differential screening practices.

TL;DR: For most cancers, 5-year net survival remains among the highest in the world in the USA and Canada, in Australia and New Zealand, and in Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, while for many cancers, Denmark is closing the survival gap with the other Nordic countries.

Cancer survival in Europe 1999-2007 by country and age: results of EUROCARE--5-a population-based study

TL;DR: The major advances in cancer management that occurred up to 2007 seem to have resulted in improved survival in Europe, although results for lung cancer in some regions (central and eastern Europe) might be affected by overestimation.

Data quality at the Cancer Registry of Norway: An overview of comparability, completeness, validity and timeliness

TL;DR: The routines in place at the CRN yields comparable data that can be considered reasonably accurate, close-to-complete and timely, thereby justifying the policy of the reporting of annual incidence one year after the year of diagnosis.

Accuracy of cancer death certificates and its effect on cancer mortality statistics.

TL;DR: A study to determine the accuracy of cancer mortality data was done using cancer deaths occurring during 1970 and 1971 in eight of the nine areas included in the Third National Cancer Survey (TNCS).

Progress in cancer survival, mortality, and incidence in seven high-income countries 1995–2014 (ICBP SURVMARK-2): a population-based study

TL;DR: Progress in cancer control over the study period was evident for stomach, colon, lung (in males), and ovarian cancer, and the impact of comorbidity are likely the main determinants of patient outcomes.
