The conceptualizations by various important authors are compared. Comparation is also made between them and the concepts of epidemiologic and health transition. The concepts of 'cancer transition' are then given the context of selected characteristics of the cancer epidemiology. The concepts are additionally illustrated by visualization of the age-standardized mortality and incidence rates in selected European countries - Czechia, Ireland, Norway and Malta in the 1960-2017 period. Keywords: cancer transition, epidemiologic transition, cancer, mortality

Regional differences in the population development of the USA, focusing on the 21st century Abstract This paper examines the population development problematics of four Census Regions of the USA designated by the U.S. Census Bureau during the time period of 2000-2017. Using the standard demographic analytical methods of public access population estimates, public health and migration data, significant differences are found. Most significant differences are found in case of the migration between Census Regions. Additionally, the paper examines the effect of the Great Recession, which was peaking during the years 2007-2009, on the population development. Especially the fertility characteristics seem to be affected by this event. Keywords: population development, USA, regional differences, economic recession
