Increased incidence, survival, and registration quality of primary hepato-pancreato-biliary cancers in the Netherlands Cancer Registry.

ABSTRACT: Given the poor survival and relatively poor performance of hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) cancers on data quality indicators for cancer registries, we assessed trends in incidence, survival, and data quality of HPB cancers within the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). All primary solid liver, gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancers (topography C22-23-24-25) diagnosed between 1989 and 2022 were included (n = 109,552). Cancer mortality data were obtained from Statistics Netherlands. For incidence and mortality, revised European Age-Standardised Rates, and for survival, age-standardised 5-year relative survival (AS-5yRS) were calculated. Over time, incidence rates increased for liver (males: 3.0 to 8.2/100,000; females 1.2 to 3.9/100,000), pancreatic (males: 15.8 to 18.5/100,000; f
