[Epidemiological characteristics of cancer of the pancreas in Serbia (without provinces)]. / Epidemioloske odlike raka pankreasa u Srbiji bez pokrajina.

Over the period from 1980 to 1993 the average age standardized mortality rate of cancer of the pancreas was 4.51 per 100000 of population (8.83% per hundred thousand in men and 3.37% per hundred thousand in women). Mortality rates were very low below the age of 34-0.09% per hundred thousand (0.14% per hundred thousand in men and 0.04% per hundred thousand in women). With aging rates showed steady increase, and they were the highest in the age group of 75 and more years--37.21% per hundred thousand (42.60% per hundred thousand in men and 33.60% per hundred thousand in women). During the period observed mortality of cancer of the pancreas showed an increasing trend (y = 3.50 + 0.11x), present in both sexes (y = 4.49 + 0.14x in men and y = 2.73 + 0.07x in women) and in all age groups exept in women aged 0-34 and 35-44 in whom a slightly decreasing trend was found.

[Mortality in laryngeal cancer in Belgrade 1982-1991]. / Smrtnost od raka larinksa u Beogradu 1982-1991. godine.

The paper reviews data on mortality caused by larynx cancer in Belgrade from 1982 to 1991. The gathered results indicate that larynx cancer was the cause of death in 2.01% on average of all deceased of all kinds of malignant tumors (3.17%, male 0.67% female), while it makes 8.18% of the deceased of malignant tumors of the respiratory tract (9.5% male, 5.21% female). The standardized mortality rates during the 10 year period occurred in 1.84 to 3.05 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (2.60%/100000 average). In males the rates were from 3.65 to 6.01%/100000 (4.91%/100000 average) and in females from 0.32 to 1.13%/100000 (0.69%/100000 average). The specific mortality rates according to age were extremely low up to the age of 44, then an abrupt increase happens, while the occurrence of the highest values is present in the oldest group. The mortality trend concerning larynx cancer during the ten year period points to the fact that there is a slight decrease as well in males (y = 5.02-0.02x) as in females (y = 1.06-0.07x).
