TL;DR
The cancer prevalence in Korea has increased very fast as survival has improved remarkably and emphasizes the need for comprehensive cancer control efforts in Korea.
Abstract
The cancer prevalence in Korea has increased very fast as survival has improved remarkably. The high prevalence of cancer emphasizes the need for comprehensive cancer control efforts in Korea.

Age-standardized cancer incidence rates have decreased since 2012 and mortality rates have declined since 2002; however, the 5-year survival rates have improved remarkably from 1993-1995 to 2011-2015 in Korea.

Although cancer rates are anticipated to decrease the nation’s cancer burden will continue to increase as the population ages, and cancer incidence in 2016 was projected by fitting a linear regression model to observed age-specific cancer incidence rates against observed years, then multiplying the projected age- Specific rates by the age- specific population.

The results show that the registration rate is high for cancers that have an unfavorable prognosis and low for cancersThat have a favorable prognosis, and that all cancer registries in Japan calculate the completeness of registration by utilizing DCN defined as the sum of DCO plus cases not reported as cancer but with supportive clinical information of such obtained through survey of the registry for DCN.
