I wonder how much of that is early detection. Here in the US there are constant commercials and ads recommending you get checked for cancer. When you go to the doctor they ask you about it and suggest screenings if you are of a certain age or have a history of it in your family. I wonder if they do that with the same amount of diligence there or if it is a case of less early detection equaling more deaths.
