Age-specific rate for any cancer in 10,546 subjects examined, by birth cohort (a,c) patient's age (b), and calendar period (d) in Sardinian patients undergoing upper endoscopy. Although the prevalence was highly variable according to patient's age it remained quite stable across the time periods considered (Sardinia, Italy, 1995‒2013)
