Thank you very much! Excellent work!

For me the most surprising finding was the increase in C-diagnoses, i.e. malignant neoplasms, in the age class 0-14. Moreover, I did not expect so many cases in this age class, rethinking: my fault. The sheer number of cases might justify the classification: significant.

Dear HaJo, thank you for your comment. I share your assessment, but wondered whether only one type of cancer was responsible for the increase, because it is known that C9 = leukemia has a very high proportion in children. In addition, this breakdown: Leukemia actually rose from 741 to 924 from 2021 to 2022. However, the numerous non-leukemia diagnoses also rose, from 1051 to 1254. Without further differentiating the diagnoses, we can probably identify a general cancer-increasing factor in young people.

Yes, The Ethical Skeptic also found from US data that malignancies were elevated in the age bracket (about) 15 to 45 years.

OK, this is not yet compatible with the Swiss data. At least, the US data are much more powerful (335 million vs. about 9 million people)
