Abstract:

Objective To analyze cancer incidence and mortality in Xintian county，Yongzhou city，Hunan province in 2014.  Methods Based on the methods and criteria of data quality from the National Central Cancer Registry （NCCR），we checked and evaluated the data of Xintian county，yongzhou city cancer registrations in 2014. Data were stratified by gender，age and cancer site. The incidence，mortality，and 10 most common cancers were calculated. Data from the Chinese population census in 2000 and Segi's population were used to calculate age-standardized incidence/mortality rates. Results The population of cancer patients in Xintian County，Yongzhou City，Hunan Province was 430，700 in the middle of 2014. There were approximately 774 new cancer cases and 517 cancer deaths in 2014 in Xintian County. The crude incidence was 179.71/10⁵ （male 219.13/10⁵，female 134.91/10⁵）. Age-standardized incidence was 146.79/10⁵ based on the Chinese standard population （ASR China） and 142.48/10⁵ based on world standard population （ASR world），and the cumulative incidence rate （0~74 years old） was 16.47%. The 5 most common cancers were lung，liver，breast，gastric，and nasopharyngeal. Crude mortality was 120.04/10⁵ （male 161.51/10⁵，female 72.91/10⁵），ASR China mortality was 95.05/10⁵ and ASR world mortality was 94.68/10⁵，with a cumulative mortality rate （0~74 years old） of 11.38%. The 5 most deadly cancers were lung，liver，gastric，breast，and colorectal anal. Conclusions The leading causes of malignant tumor morbidity and mortality among male residents in Xintian county are lung，liver，gastric，colorectal anal and nasopharyngeal cancer，so cancer prevention and treatment should focus on these cancers in the high-risk male population. Incidence and mortality of malignant tumors are lower in women than in men，yet intervention measures should also target women at high cancer risk.
