In Central and Western Europe, cancer mortality is declining at slower rates as compared with rates in the rest of the world. More than a generation has now passed since the end of nonmarket economies in Central and Eastern Europe. It is time for this area of the continent to close the gap in cancer incidence and mortality rates between it and Western Europe and other high-income areas of the world.
在中欧和西欧，与世界其他地区相比，癌症死亡率下降速度较慢。自中东欧非市场经济结束以来，已经过去了不止一代人的时间。现在该是该大陆这一地区缩小与西欧及世界其他高收入地区在癌症发病率和死亡率方面差距的时候了。
