Abstract

La mortalidad por cáncer ha mantenido una tendencia al incremento en la mayor parte de los países. Se hizo un estudio descriptivo de la mortalidad por cáncer según condición de género desde el año 1990 al año 2007 en la provincia de Matanzas, que abarcó 14,294 fallecidos por cáncer de los 90,908 fallecidos por todas las causas. Se encontró un aumento sostenido de las tasas crudas y ajustadas de mortalidad en relación directa con la edad, mayor en el sexo masculino, estadísticamente significativa. La menor razón masculino/femenino (1.5) se evidenció en el período del 2002 al 2007. La media de la edad fue superior entre los hombres: 69.7 vs. 65.1. Ambos sexos con tendencia al incremento, pero los hombres con mayor peso en la mortalidad proporcional (17.5 vs. 13.5). La razón de sexo fue ligeramente mayor en los fallecidos por cáncer que entre los fallecidos por todas las causas (1.6 vs 1.3), así como en los de 70 años y más. La mayor cantidad de fallecidos la aportaron los cánceres de pulmón, próstata, colon y la mama femenina.

Translated abstract

Cancer mortality has maintained an increasing tendency in most of the countries. We carried out a descriptive study of the cancer mortality according to the sex condition from 1990 to 2007 in the province of Matanzas, covering 14 294 deceased for cancer from the total of 90 908 deceased due to different causes. We found a steady increase of the crude and adjusted rates in direct relation with age, being higher and statistically significant in the male sex. The lowest male/female ratio (1.5) was evident in the period from 2002 to 2007. Mean age was higher among men: 69.7 vs. 65.1. There was a tendency to increase in both sexes, but there was a bigger proportional mortality in men (17.5 vs. 13.5). Sex ratio was slightly higher among those died by cancer than among those who died by other causes (1.6 vs. 1.3), and also among those who were 70 years old and more. The bigger quantity of diseases was due to lung, prostate, colon and female breast cancer.

Cancer incidence and mortality patterns among specific Asian and Pacific Islander populations in the U.S.

Barry A Miller, Kenneth Chu, Benjamin F Hankey … (2007)

Objectives We report cancer incidence, mortality, and stage distributions among Asians and Pacific Islanders (API) residing in the U.S. and note health disparities, using the cancer experience of the non-Hispanic white population as the referent group. New databases added to publicly available SEER*Stat software will enable public health researchers to further investigate cancer patterns among API groups. Methods Cancer diagnoses among API groups occurring from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2002 were included from 14 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program state and regional population-based cancer registries covering 54% of the U.S. API population. Cancer deaths were included from the seven states that report death information for detailed API groups and which cover over 68% of the total U.S. API population. Using detailed racial/ethnic population data from the 2000 decennial census, we produced incidence rates centered on the census year for Asian Indians/Pakistanis, Chinese, Filipinos, Guamanians, Native Hawaiians, Japanese, Kampucheans, Koreans, Laotians, Samoans, Tongans, and Vietnamese. State vital records offices do not report API deaths separately for Kampucheans, Laotians, Pakistanis, and Tongans, so mortality rates were analyzed only for the remaining API groups. Results Overall cancer incidence rates for the API groups tended be lower than overall rates for non-Hispanic whites, with the exception of Native Hawaiian women (All cancers rate = 488.5 per 100,000 vs. 448.5 for non-Hispanic white women). Among the API groups, overall cancer incidence and death rates were highest for Native Hawaiian and Samoan men and women due to high rates for cancers of the prostate, lung, and colorectum among Native Hawaiian men; cancers of the prostate, lung, liver, and stomach among Samoan men; and cancers of the breast and lung among Native Hawaiian and Samoan women. Incidence and death rates for cancers of the liver, stomach, and nasopharynx were notably high in several of the API groups and exceeded rates generally seen for non-Hispanic white men and women. Incidence rates were lowest among Asian Indian/Pakistani and Guamanian men and women and Kampuchean women. Asian Indian and Guamanian men and women also had the lowest cancer death rates. Selected API groups had less favorable distributions of stage at diagnosis for certain cancers than non-Hispanic whites. Conclusions Possible disparities in cancer incidence or mortality between specific API groups in our study and non-Hispanic whites (referent group) were identified for several cancers. Unfavorable patterns of stage at diagnosis for cancers of the colon and rectum, breast, cervix uteri, and prostate suggest a need for cancer control interventions in selected groups. The observed variation in cancer patterns among API groups indicates the importance of monitoring these groups separately, as these patterns may provide etiologic clues that could be investigated by analytic epidemiological studies.

Incidencia y mortalidad por cáncer en la mujer cubana: Trienio 2000-2002

Priscila Torres, Marta Guerra, Yaima Galán … (2007)

Se conoce que, entre los 25 y 50 años de edad, el cáncer es más frecuente en mujeres, fundamentalmente por los cánceres ginecológicos. Se decidió describir la situación actual del cáncer en la mujer cubana. Se calcularon las tasas promedio de incidencia y mortalidad (trienio 2000-2002) por 100 000 hab, estandarizadas a la población mundial para las 10 primeras localizaciones según sexo, y las específicas por edad y provincia de residencia. Se observó que las primeras localizaciones en mujeres, excluyendo piel, son: mama (mayor riesgo en occidente), cuello de útero (mayores riesgos en el oriente), pulmón y colon. Entre 20 y 39 años de edad el cáncer más frecuente es el de cuello de útero y en los grupos restantes es el de mama. Se insistió en el papel de la prevención para reducir la magnitud del problema cáncer en la mujer. Las acciones deben concentrarse en disminuir el hábito de fumar, modificar estilos de vida e incrementar la participación en los programas de diagnóstico precoz.

Update of a prospective study of mortality and cancer incidence in the Australian petroleum industry.

J. E. M. Robinson, James A. Bisby, Peter Adams … (2004)

To update the analysis of the cohort mortality and cancer incidence study of employees in the Australian petroleum industry. Employees from 1981 to 1996 were traced through the Australian National Death Index and the National Cancer Statistics Clearing House. Cause specific mortality and cancer incidence were compared with those of the Australian population by means of standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) and standardised incidence ratios (SIRs). Associations between increased incidence of specific cancers and employment in the petroleum industry were tested by trends according to period of first employment, duration of employment, latency, and hydrocarbon exposure, adjusting for personal smoking history where appropriate. Total follow up time was 176 598 person-years for males and 10 253 person-years for females. A total of 692 of the 15 957 male subjects, and 16 of the 1206 female subjects had died by the cut off date, 31 December 1996. In males, the all-cause SMR and the SMRs for all major disease categories were significantly below unity. There was a non-significant increase of the all-cancer SIR (1.04, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.11). There was a significant increase of the incidence of melanoma (SIR 1.54, 95% CI 1.30 to 1.81), bladder cancer (SIR 1.37, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.83), and prostate cancer (SIR 1.19, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.40), and a marginally significant excess of pleural mesothelioma (SIR 1.80, 95% CI 0.90 to 3.22), leukaemia (SIR 1.39, 95%CI 0.91 to 2.02), and multiple myeloma (SIR 1.72, 95% CI 0.96 to 2.84). Most cases of mesothelioma are probably related to past exposure to asbestos in refineries. The melanoma excess may be the result of early diagnosis. The excess bladder cancer has not been observed previously in this industry and is not readily explained. The divergence between cancer incidence and cancer mortality suggests that the "healthy worker effect" may be related to early reporting of curable cancers, leading to increased likelihood of cure and prolonged mean survival time.
