Mortality from malignant neoplasms and diseases of circulatory system in the countries of European Union is on decline, though this trend is much slower in the case of neoplasms. In some EU countries the mortality from neoplasms is already higher than mortality from diseases of circulatory system, which until recently occupied the first position in the cause of death hierarchy. This trend is more significant among males and in France, the Netherlands and Spain where malignant neoplasms became the first cause of death. The forecast for next years predicts the continuation and deepening of this tendency.
欧盟国家恶性肿瘤和循环系统疾病的死亡率正在下降，不过肿瘤方面的下降趋势要慢得多。在一些欧盟国家，肿瘤死亡率已经高于循环系统疾病死亡率，而直到最近，循环系统疾病在死因等级中一直占据首位。这种趋势在男性以及法国、荷兰和西班牙更为显著，在这些国家恶性肿瘤已成为首要死因。对未来几年的预测显示这种趋势将持续并加剧。
