BACKGROUND: @entity0 in @entity1 and @entity263 are the first and second leading @entity5 respectively in terms of incidence world-wide. Our objective is to ascertain the similarities and differences between mortality trends in @entity0 among @entity1 and @entity263 in Spain using age-period-cohort models, and analyse the correlation between incidence of @entity0 at @entity5 registries locally and world-wide. METHODS: We analysed the independent effects of age, period of @entity204 and birth cohort on mortality rates for @entity0 in @entity1 and @entity263 in Spain across the period 1952-2011. Segmented regression analyses were performed to detect and estimate changes in period and cohort curvatures. Correlation among age-adjusted incidence rates at 246 population @entity5 registries world-wide was analysed for the period 2003-2007. RESULTS: The mortality trend displayed common characteristics in terms of the annual number of deaths due to these @entity5 , their adjusted mortality rates and the change points detected in the cohort and period effects. The trend in incidence was very different to that in mortality, due to early detection and progressive improvement in survival. Correlation between the incidence rates of both @entity5 recorded by registries around the world proved to be a generalised phenomenon. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that @entity0 mortality in @entity1 and @entity263 mortality and their trends in Spain display visible similarities in terms of the number of deaths due to these @entity5 , their adjusted mortality rates and the changes experienced by mortality over time. The effects of advances in the diagnosis of both @entity5 correspond to a decline in mortality which becomes evident after a lag of approximately eight years. Correlation between @entity0 incidence rates is very high in Spain and at registries on all continents.
