In this chart age-adjusted (to the world standard population) incidence rates of liver cancer per 100.000 person-years in Finland in 1963 - 1995 are seen, concerning the female population.

In this chart age-adjusted (to the world standard population) incidence rates of liver cancer per 100.000 person-years in Finland in 1963 - 1995 are seen, concerning the male population.

The number of new cases of liver cancer in Finland in 1995 in different age groups, concerning the female population.

The number of new cases of liver cancer in Finland in 1995 in different age groups, concerning the male population.

The age-adjusted (to the world standard population) incidence rates of liver cancer in Finland in 1995 per 100.000, concerning the female population.

The age-adjusted (to the world standard population) incidence rates of liver cancer in Finland in 1995 per 100.000, concerning the male population.

The five year survival rate for females and males with liver cancer diagnosed in 1985 - 1989 and followed up to the end of 1994. 100% of survival means, that there are no excess mortality due to the cancer. As seen, the prognose of localized disease at time of the diagnose, is markedly more favourable than when the cancer is not localized. The excellent prognosis in the youngest age group is not significant, as there were only about 10 cases in this age group. Overall, liver cancer is a difficult type of cancer with a poor prognosis.
