The aim of the present study was to determine the age of new cancer patients in 2010 and 2022 and to evaluate the changes in the proportion of early-onset cancers in the total number of cancer cases in private practices. This retrospective cross-sectional study included adult patients (≥18 years) with an initial cancer diagnosis in 557 private practices in Germany in 2010 or 2022 from the Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA).

One in five patients over the age of 65 in Germany receiving primary care suffers from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (Diehm et al 2009). As a chronic, slowly progressive disease that progresses in stages, it is usually the result of a manifestation of atherosclerosis in the arteries supplying the leg. Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease and one of the most important causes of cardiovascular disease and death in western industrialized nations (Barrows et al 2009). In the course of PAD, there can be significant limitations in the patient's mobility, exercise capacity and quality of life. A feared long-term consequence is amputation (DGA 2009).
