Abstract

Geriatric cancer patients place special demands on care. In this study, cancer burden (ICD-10: C00–C97 without C44) in Germany is described with a focus on elderly people based on cancer registry data. It was found that older age (≥ 75 years vs. 20–74 years) roughly triples the risk of cancer in women and almost quintuples it in men. Lower relative survival rates in older women and men can only partly be explained by a less favorable stage distribution at diagnosis. If the incidence rates for 2018 to 2020 remain unchanged, malignant neoplasms in the adult population will become 13.5% more common by 2040. In the 75+ age group, the number of new cases in the model will increase by 4.3% by 2030 and by 30.4% by 2040. The greatest challenges for geriatric oncology are therefore only expected in the medium term.
