Background: Despite being one of the most preventable forms of cancer, cervical cancer remains an important public health problem, especially in developing countries. However, there is limited evidence regarding awareness and practice of screening for cervical cancer among women in resource-poor settings like Nepal. This study is aimed at assessing the awareness of cervical cancer, risk perception, and practice of Pap smear tests among adult women of Dhulikhel municipality of Kavreplanchowk district in Nepal. Methodology. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 women (aged 18-45 years) residing across the Dhulikhel municipality of Nepal. Systematic random sampling method with face-to-face interviews was conducted to collect data. A descriptive analysis was performed to assess the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. The chi-square test was used to determine the factors associated with risk perception and participants' demographic characteristics.

Results: The mean age (±SD) of the participants was 30.7 ± 7.9 years. This study found that around 55% and 38% of women had heard about cervical cancer and Pap smear test, respectively. Of those who had heard of the Pap test, only 37.6% had ever practiced the test. Similarly, 33.2% and 12.1% knew about the correct age group and time interval to perform the Pap test, respectively. Among those who had heard about cervical cancer, nearly 57% had positive perceptions toward cervical cancer. In addition, risk perception of cervical cancer was found to be associated with participant age, family type, and marital status.

Conclusion: The women had inadequate knowledge and practice of cervical cancer and Pap smear test. This study concluded the need for a context-specific and effective health awareness program to promote preventive measures for cervical cancer and enhance the practice of Pap smear test in the community.

背景:尽管子宫颈癌是最容易预防的癌症之一,但它仍然是一个重要的公共卫生问题,特别是在发展中国家。然而,在尼泊尔等资源贫乏地区的妇女中,关于宫颈癌筛查的认识和实践的证据有限。这项研究的目的是评估尼泊尔Kavreplanchowk地区Dhulikhel市成年妇女对宫颈癌的认识、风险认知和巴氏涂片检查的做法。方法。对居住在尼泊尔杜利赫勒市的422名妇女(18-45岁)进行了一项以社区为基础的横断面研究。采用面对面访谈的系统随机抽样方法收集数据。进行描述性分析以评估参与者的社会人口学特征。采用卡方检验确定与风险感知和受试者人口学特征相关的因素。结果:参与者平均年龄(±SD)为30.7±7.9岁。这项研究发现,大约55%和38%的女性分别听说过宫颈癌和巴氏涂片检查。在听说过巴氏试验的人中,只有37.6%的人进行过测试。同样,33.2%和12.1%的人分别知道进行巴氏试验的正确年龄组和时间间隔。在听说过子宫颈癌的受访者中,近57%对子宫颈癌持正面看法。此外,发现宫颈癌的风险认知与参与者的年龄、家庭类型和婚姻状况有关。结论:妇女对宫颈癌和子宫颈抹片检查的认识和实践不足。这项研究的结论是,有必要针对具体情况制订有效的健康意识计划,以推广预防子宫颈癌的措施,并在社区推广子宫颈抹片检查。

Aim: The Auckland Advanced Breast Cancer Review (AABC) was a review of patients diagnosed with advanced inoperable/metastatic breast cancer (ABC) within the Auckland region of New Zealand, commissioned in response to a Breast Cancer Registry report (BCFNZR) that showed poor and inequitable survival outcomes. The review was aimed at assessing equity of care and identifying healthcare delivery gaps for patients with ABC in the Auckland region.

Method: In this retrospective study, patients living within the Auckland region, diagnosed with ABC between the 1st January 2013 to the 31st December 2015 were identified from the Breast Cancer Registry. Data censorship date was 30th January 2019 to allow a minimum of 3 years of follow-up. Demographic, diagnostic, treatment, and survival data were extracted from electronic records for statistical analysis.

Results: Of the 388 patients that met inclusion criteria for this study, median overall survival (medOS) was 18.9 months in the total population, with no difference between patients with de novo metastatic disease (dnMBC -18.9 m) and recurrent metastatic disease (rMBC -18.7 m). No statistically significant differences in medOS was found amongst Maori (16.2 m), Pacific People (17.3 m), and NZ European (18.9 m) or when patients were stratified according domicile district health board. Median number of lines of systemic treatment was two, with similar treatment exposure between ethnic groups.

Conclusion: While treatment uptake and survival outcomes were generally comparable across ethnicity and district health boards, dnMBC survival outcomes were considerably poorer than expected, earmarking this subset of patients with ABC for more in-depth research.

目的:奥克兰晚期乳腺癌评估(AABC)是对新西兰奥克兰地区诊断为晚期无法手术/转移性乳腺癌(ABC)的患者进行的一项评估,该评估是为了响应乳腺癌登记报告(BCFNZR)显示的不良和不公平的生存结果。该综述旨在评估奥克兰地区ABC患者的护理公平性,并确定医疗保健服务差距。方法:在这项回顾性研究中,从乳腺癌登记处确定了2013年1月1日至2015年12月31日期间居住在奥克兰地区诊断为ABC的患者。数据审查日期为2019年1月30日,以便至少有3年的随访时间。从电子记录中提取人口学、诊断、治疗和生存数据进行统计分析。结果:在符合本研究纳入标准的388例患者中,总体中位总生存期(medo)为18.9个月,新发转移性疾病(dnMBC -18.9 m)和复发性转移性疾病(rMBC -18.7 m)患者之间无差异。毛利人(16.2 m)、太平洋人(17.3 m)和新西兰欧洲人(18.9 m)之间的medo没有统计学上的显著差异,或者当患者按住所区卫生委员会分层时。系统治疗的中位数为两条线,不同种族之间的治疗暴露相似。结论:虽然不同种族和地区卫生局的治疗吸收和生存结果总体上具有可比性,但dnMBC的生存结果远低于预期,这一亚群ABC患者值得进行更深入的研究。

Introduction: Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy of mature T-cells. Limited epidemiological studies have shown that there is substantial variation in age at diagnosis and subtype distribution between different geographical regions. This is the first epidemiological study of ATLL in South Africa.

Methods: A national epidemiological study of ATLL in South Africa was performed. All new cases of ATLL from 2009 to 2019 were identified by laboratory database search in public and private health care sectors. Demographic and diagnostic data were obtained, and the cases were subtyped according to the Shimoyama classification.

Results: There were 31 patients with ATLL over the 10-year period, with an incidence of 0.06 per 100000 population. The male to female ratio was 1 : 1 and the median age at diagnosis was 37 years. Acute ATLL was the most commonly seen subtype in South Africa.

Conclusion: In this, the first epidemiological study of ATLL in South Africa, we demonstrate that ATLL is a rare disease, that acute ATLL is the most commonly diagnosed subtype, and that ATLL is likely under diagnosed. Patients present at a considerably younger age than the reported age in other nations.

成人t细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(ATLL)是一种罕见的侵袭性成熟t细胞恶性肿瘤。有限的流行病学研究表明,不同地理区域之间在诊断年龄和亚型分布方面存在很大差异。这是南非首次对ATLL进行流行病学研究。方法:对南非ATLL进行全国流行病学研究。2009 - 2019年所有新发ATLL病例均通过公共和私营卫生保健部门的实验室数据库检索确定。获得人口学和诊断资料,并根据Shimoyama分类对病例进行分型。结果:10年间有31例ATLL患者,发病率为0.06 / 100000。男女比例为1:1,诊断时中位年龄为37岁。急性ATLL是南非最常见的亚型。结论:这是南非首次对ATLL进行流行病学研究,我们证明ATLL是一种罕见的疾病,急性ATLL是最常见的诊断亚型,并且ATLL可能未被诊断。患者出现的年龄比其他国家报告的年龄小得多。

Esophageal cancer is an aggressive, often deadly disease globally that represents a significant health problem in Tanzania. The WHO reported 604,100 new esophageal cancer cases worldwide during 2020 and 544,076 deaths (Sung, 2021; World Health Organization, 2020). In Eastern Africa, 16,137 cases and 15,188 deaths were related to this disease in 2020. Esophageal cancer is associated with various etiologic risk factors, and access to the disease treatment is a major barrier to survival. This study examined associations between the prevalence of four geographically stratified, population-level, etiologic risk factors (tobacco use, unprotected water use, solid fuel source use, and poverty), as well as two access-to-care predictors (persons per hospital and distance from residence to where esophageal cancer treatment occurs). Regional- and coarser-scale zonal incidence rates were calculated for 2006 through 2016 and evaluated for geographic differences in relation to risk factors and access to care predictors using Poisson regression. Differences in the geographic distribution of esophageal cancer were observed. Distance from the region of residence to the treatment center (Ocean Road Cancer Institute) was statistically associated with the geographic pattern of esophageal cancer incidence. Further research into etiologic risk factors, dietary practices, and nutrition is needed to better understand the associations with esophageal cancer in Tanzania and other parts of Eastern Africa.

食管癌是一种侵袭性的、往往致命的全球性疾病,在坦桑尼亚是一个重大的健康问题。据世卫组织报告,2020年全球有604100例食管癌新发病例,544076例死亡(Sung, 2021;世界卫生组织,2020年)。在东非,2020年有16 137例病例和15 188例死亡与这种疾病有关。食管癌与多种病因危险因素相关,获得治疗是生存的主要障碍。本研究调查了四种地理分层、人口水平的病因危险因素(烟草使用、无保护用水、固体燃料来源使用和贫困)的患病率以及两种可获得护理的预测因素(每家医院的人数和住所到食管癌治疗地点的距离)之间的关联。计算了2006年至2016年的区域和更大尺度的地域性发病率,并使用泊松回归评估了与风险因素和获得护理预测因子相关的地理差异。食管癌的地理分布存在差异。从居住地到治疗中心(海洋路癌症研究所)的距离与食管癌发病率的地理分布有统计学相关性。为了更好地了解坦桑尼亚和东非其他地区食管癌与病因危险因素、饮食习惯和营养的关系,需要进一步研究。

Background In developing countries, environmental and personal hygiene is playing a great role in the increasing of intestinal helminth infection. In countries with limited resources and poor hygiene practices, there is a substantial overlap of intestinal helminthic and chronic infections like HIV, TB, and cancer. Intestinal helminths like Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm cause malnutrition and induce a type-2 immune response that could worsen the severity and clinical outcomes of patients with cancer. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of intestinal helminths among cancer patients who are under chemotherapy. Methodology. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in volunteer cancer patients. Clinical information were collected from study participants using a structured questioner. Stool sample was collected for parasitological examination. Formol-ether concentration technique was done, and then, two microscopic slides were prepared. Examination was done by two laboratory technicians for the detection of helminths. SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis, and simple descriptive statistical analysis was done for data presentation. Result The total study participants were 41, of these 31 (75.6%) were females and 10 (24.4%) were male. Breast cancer and colonic cancer were the highest proportion with the others, 43.9% and 17.1%, respectively. The prevalence of intestinal parasites were 7/41 (17%). Hookworm 3/41(7.3%), Ascaris lumbricoides 3/41(7.3%), and Hymenolepis nana 1/41(2.4%) are the isolated parasite. Conclusions and Recommendations. The prevalence of intestinal helminths in cancer is lower than HIV and DM in the study area. However, the prevalence in these cancer patients is still high and needs deworming and health education for the better management of these cancer patients.
在发展中国家,环境和个人卫生对肠道蠕虫感染的增加起着重要作用。在资源有限和卫生习惯不佳的国家,肠道蠕虫感染和艾滋病毒、结核病和癌症等慢性感染存在大量重叠。肠道蠕虫,如类蚓蛔虫、Trichuris trichiura和钩虫,会导致营养不良,并诱发2型免疫反应,这可能会加重癌症患者的严重程度和临床结果。我们的目的是确定接受化疗的癌症患者肠道蠕虫的患病率。方法。一项前瞻性横断面研究在志愿癌症患者中进行。临床信息从研究参与者收集使用结构化提问。采集粪便标本进行寄生虫学检查。采用甲醚浓缩技术,制备了两种显微载玻片。检查由两名实验室技术人员进行,以检测蠕虫。使用SPSS version 22进行数据分析,对数据进行简单的描述性统计分析。结果共41人,其中女性31人(75.6%),男性10人(24.4%)。乳腺癌和结肠癌占比最高,分别为43.9%和17.1%。肠道寄生虫患病率为7/41(17%)。钩虫3/41(7.3%)、类蚓蛔虫3/41(7.3%)、小膜膜绦虫1/41(2.4%)是分离到的寄生虫。结论和建议。在研究地区,肠道蠕虫在癌症中的患病率低于HIV和DM。然而,这些癌症患者的患病率仍然很高,需要驱虫和健康教育来更好地管理这些癌症患者。

Objective To evaluate the scientometrics characteristics of the scientific production on the treatment of brain tumors with gamma knife radiosurgery in Scopus. Methods The Scopus database (Elsevier) was used to collect all relevant studies for this bibliometric analysis. Data was obtained as a .csv file; it was downloaded from Scopus and was exported by SciVal to Microsoft Excel for a presentation using tables for more detailed analysis. The citations and the number of papers for the most productive institutions, authors, countries, and journals publishing scientific papers were analyzed on the use of gamma knife radiosurgery for brain tumors. Results 458 metadata were obtained from scientific publications, on which inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, leaving 248 studies. The maximum peak of publications was 2018 with 31 publications, and the minimum peak was 2015 with 18. The most related subtopics were neurology, surgery, and oncology, and most of the retrieved papers had only institutional collaboration. As for more productive journals, Journal of Neurosurgery is first with 23 publications; within the countries with the most scientific publications, we have the United States, Japan, and China. With the United States being the country with the highest number of productions, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was the main university with the highest scientific production and Sheehan and Trifiletti and American authors dominate the list with the highest number of documents. Conclusion Scientific production regarding gamma knife surgery and brain tumors has been increasing during the last 10 years, with a high incidence during 2018, and the highest number of published articles was in the first quartile. Likewise, the United States is the country with the most publications, authors, and universities on the subject. Greater efforts are still lacking from all countries in the world to reach the quantity and quality of production of the United States.

Background The majority of patients with retinoblastoma, the most common intraocular cancer of childhood, are found in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), with leukocoria being the most common initial presenting sign and indication for referral. Findings from the current study serve to augment earlier findings on the clinical presentation and outcomes of children with retinoblastoma in Uganda. Methods This was a retrospective study in which we reviewed records of children admitted with a diagnosis of retinoblastoma at the Uganda Cancer Institute from January 2009 to February 2020. From the electronic database, using admission numbers, files were retrieved. Patient information was recorded in a data extraction tool. Results A total of 90 retinoblastoma patients were studied, with a mean age at the first Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) presentation of 36.7 months. There were more males (57.8%) than females, with a male to female ratio of 1.37 : 1. The majority (54.4%) had retinoblastoma treatment prior to UCI admission. The most common presenting symptoms were leukocoria (85.6%), eye reddening (64.4%), and eye swelling (63.3%). At 3 years of follow-up after index admission at UCI, 36.7% of the patients had died, 41.1% were alive, and 22.2% had been lost to follow-up. The median 3-year survival for children with retinoblastoma in our study was 2.18 years. Significant predictors of survival in the multivariate analysis were follow-up duration (P¯<0.001), features of metastatic spread (P = 0.001), history of eye swelling (P = 0.012), and bilateral enucleation (P = 0.011). Conclusions The majority of children who presented to the Uganda Cancer Institute were referred with advanced retinoblastoma, and there was a high mortality rate. Retinoblastoma management requires a multidisciplinary team that should include paediatric ophthalmologists, paediatric oncologists, ocular oncologists, radiation oncologists, and nurses.
背景视网膜母细胞瘤是儿童最常见的眼内癌症,大多数患者在低收入和中等收入国家(LMIC)发现,白质瘤是转诊最常见的初始症状和指征。目前的研究结果有助于加强乌干达儿童视网膜母细胞瘤的临床表现和结果的早期发现。方法这是一项回顾性研究,我们回顾了2009年1月至2020年2月乌干达癌症研究所诊断为视网膜母细胞瘤的儿童入院记录。从电子数据库中,使用入院号码检索了档案。患者信息记录在数据提取工具中。结果共研究了90例视网膜母细胞瘤患者,在乌干达癌症研究所(UCI)首次就诊时的平均年龄为36.7个月。男性(57.8%)多于女性,男女比例为1.37 : 1.大多数(54.4%)在UCI入院前接受过视网膜母细胞瘤治疗。最常见的症状是白细胞增多症(85.6%)、眼睛发红(64.4%)和眼睛肿胀(63.3%)。在UCI指数入院后的3年随访中,36.7%的患者死亡,41.1%的患者存活,22.2%的患者失访。在我们的研究中,患有视网膜母细胞瘤的儿童的中位3年生存期为2.18年。在多变量分析中,生存率的重要预测因素是随访时间(P<0.001)、转移扩散特征(P=0.001)、眼部肿胀史(P=0.012)和双侧眼球摘除术(P=0.01 1)。结论在乌干达癌症研究所就诊的大多数儿童转诊为晚期视网膜母细胞瘤,死亡率较高。视网膜母细胞瘤的管理需要一个多学科团队,包括儿科眼科医生、儿科肿瘤学家、眼部肿瘤学家、放射肿瘤学家和护士。

Background Determining cancer incidence and mortality is a key factor in the implementation of health policies and cancer prevention strategies. This report aims to describe the trends of cancer incidence in a single referral oncology department from the Marrakech region (Morocco). Material and Methods. All new cancer cases of age ≥ 15 years registered at the Medical Oncology department of Mohammed VI University Hospital of Marrakesh between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2019, were included. Central nervous system (CNS) cancers, tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, and thyroid cancers for which chemotherapy was not indicated or was managed in other cancer-specialized departments were excluded from the analysis. Manual data collection from printed archived medical records of the study population was performed. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using R software and Joinpoint Regression Program. Results A total of 15648 new cancer cases were analyzed. Missing data (n = 1822) accounted for 11.64%, and 4.1% (n = 652) were excluded. The final statistical analysis and registration included 13174 cases. The median age at diagnosis is 54 years for females and 61 years for males. Female patients outnumbered males with a ratio of 1.58 among all age groups except those aged ≥75 y. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) for all sites was 68,0 per 100.000 person-years, which has increased with an annual percent change (APC) of 10.61%. The five most common malignancies among males are lung, stomach, prostate, colic, and rectal cancers. Among females, the five most frequent cancers are breast, cervix, ovary, colon, and stomach. Conclusion The higher incidence observed in our results translates into a growing burden on the center and is expected to impact our ability to deliver cancer care. Epidemiological studies to identify risk factors and effective efforts are needed to further invest in cancer control and prevention plans.
背景确定癌症发病率和死亡率是实施卫生政策和癌症预防战略的关键因素。本报告旨在描述从马拉喀什地区(摩洛哥)单一转诊肿瘤科癌症发病率的趋势。材料和方法。纳入了2012年1月1日至2019年12月31日期间在马拉喀什穆罕默德六世大学医院肿瘤内科登记的所有年龄≥15岁的新发癌症病例。中枢神经系统(CNS)癌症、造血和淋巴组织肿瘤以及甲状腺癌,这些癌症没有化疗的指示或在其他癌症专科治疗被排除在分析之外。从研究人群的打印存档医疗记录中手动收集数据。采用R软件和Joinpoint回归程序进行描述性统计分析。结果共分析新发肿瘤15648例。缺失数据(n = 1822)占11.64%,排除数据(n = 652)占4.1%。最终统计分析登记13174例。女性诊断时的中位年龄为54岁,男性为61岁。除≥75岁外,各年龄组女性患者多于男性患者,比例为1.58。所有地点的年龄标准化发病率(ASIR)为68,0 / 100,000人-年,年变化率(APC)为10.61%。男性最常见的五种恶性肿瘤是肺癌、胃癌、前列腺癌、结肠癌和直肠癌。在女性中,五种最常见的癌症是乳腺癌、宫颈癌、卵巢癌、结肠癌和胃癌。在我们的研究结果中观察到的较高发病率转化为中心日益增长的负担,预计将影响我们提供癌症治疗的能力。需要进行流行病学研究,以确定风险因素,并作出有效努力,进一步投资于癌症控制和预防计划。

Background: Estimation of survival requires follow-up of patients from diagnosis until death ensuring complete and good quality data. Many population-based cancer registries in low- and middle-income countries have difficulties linking registry data with regional or national vital statistics, increasing the chances of cases lost to follow-up. The impact of lost to follow-up cases on survival estimates from small population-based cancer registries (<500 cases) has been understudied, and bias could be larger than in larger registries.

Methods: We simulated scenarios based on idealized real data from three population-based cancer registries to assess the impact of loss to follow-up on 1-5-year overall and net survival for stomach, colon, and thyroid cancers-cancer types with very different prognosis. Multiple scenarios with varying of lost to follow-up proportions (1-20%) and sample sizes of (100-500 cases) were carried out. We investigated the impact of excluding versus censoring lost to follow-up cases; punctual and bootstrap confidence intervals for the average bias are presented.

Results: Censoring of lost to follow-up cases lead to overestimation of the overall survival, this effect was strongest for cancers with a poor prognosis and increased with follow-up time and higher proportion of lost to follow-up cases; these effects were slightly larger for net survival than overall survival. Excluding cases lost to follow-up did not generate a bias on survival estimates on average, but in individual cases, there were under- and overestimating survival. For gastric, colon, and thyroid cancer, relative bias on 5-year cancer survival with 1% of lost to follow-up varied between 6% and 125%, 2% and 40%, and 0.1% and 1.0%, respectively.

Conclusion: Estimation of cancer survival from small population-based registries must be interpreted with caution: even small proportions of censoring, or excluding lost to follow-up cases can inflate survival, making it hard to interpret comparison across regions or countries.

背景:估算存活率需要对患者从诊断到死亡的整个过程进行随访,以确保获得完整和高质量的数据。中低收入国家的许多人口癌症登记处难以将登记处数据与地区或国家生命统计数据联系起来,从而增加了随访病例丢失的几率。失去随访的病例对来自小型人口癌症登记处的生存率估计值的影响(方法:我们根据三个基于人口的癌症登记处的理想化真实数据模拟了各种情景,以评估随访丧失对胃癌、结肠癌和甲状腺癌(预后截然不同的癌症类型)1-5 年总生存率和净生存率的影响。我们采用了不同的随访损失比例(1-20%)和样本量(100-500 例)的多种方案。我们研究了剔除和剔除失去随访病例的影响;结果显示了平均偏倚的准时置信区间和引导置信区间:剔除失去随访的病例会导致总生存率被高估,这种影响在预后较差的癌症中最为明显,并随着随访时间的延长和失去随访病例比例的增加而增加;这些影响对净生存率的影响略大于对总生存率的影响。剔除失去随访的病例平均不会对生存率估计产生偏差,但在个别病例中,生存率存在低估和高估的情况。就胃癌、结肠癌和甲状腺癌而言,1%的随访丧失病例对5年癌症生存率的相对偏差分别介于6%与125%、2%与40%、0.1%与1.0%之间:从小型人口登记中估计癌症存活率必须谨慎:即使是很小比例的剔除或排除失去随访的病例也会夸大存活率,从而难以解释地区或国家间的比较。

Purpose: This cohort study describes the differences in kidney cancer age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates between American Indians/Alaskan Natives (AI/ANs) and Whites in Oklahoma. Additionally, rates for the U.S. are updated to establish an epidemiological comparison between Oklahoma and the rest of the country.

Materials and methods: Kidney cancer age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates for Oklahoma were gathered using the Oklahoma Central Cancer Registry since 1999. National rates were obtained from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database between 1997 and 2017. Rate ratios were used to compare incidence and mortality rates for AI/ANs and Whites within Oklahoma as well as the entire country. Joinpoint regression models were created to illustrate trends in kidney cancer incidence and mortality.

Results: The age-adjusted incidence rate of kidney cancer in Oklahoma for AI/ANs and Whites was 32.3 and 15.8 per 100,000, respectively, for an incidence rate ratio of 2.04. The national incidence rate ratio was 0.89. The age-adjusted mortality rate in Oklahoma for AI/ANs and Whites was 9.78 and 4.98 per 100,000, respectively, for a mortality rate ratio of 1.98. Oklahomans, irrespective of race, fare worse in terms of kidney cancer mortality compared to the rest of the country.

Conclusions: In Oklahoma, AI/ANs are more likely than Whites to have a kidney cancer diagnosis. AI/ANs are twice as likely to die from kidney cancer than Whites in Oklahoma. AI/AN populations in certain states may benefit from kidney cancer early screening initiatives.

目的:本队列研究描述了俄克拉何马州印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民(AI/ANs)和白人之间肾癌年龄调整发病率和死亡率的差异。此外,还更新了美国的发病率,以建立俄克拉何马州与美国其他地区之间的流行病学比较。材料和方法:自1999年以来,使用俄克拉荷马州中央癌症登记处收集俄克拉荷马州的肾癌年龄调整发病率和死亡率。1997年至2017年期间,全国发病率从疾病控制和预防中心流行病学研究广泛在线数据数据库中获得。比率比率用于比较俄克拉何马州以及整个国家内AI/ANs和白人的发病率和死亡率。建立了联合点回归模型来说明肾癌发病率和死亡率的趋势。结果:俄克拉何马州AI/ANs和白人的年龄调整肾癌发病率分别为32.3 / 10万和15.8 / 10万,发病率比为2.04。全国发病率比为0.89。俄克拉何马州AI/ANs和白人的年龄调整死亡率分别为9.78 / 10万和4.98 / 10万,死亡率比为1.98。无论种族如何,俄克拉何马州的肾癌死亡率比全国其他地区更糟糕。结论:在俄克拉何马州,AI/ an比白人更有可能被诊断出肾癌。在俄克拉何马州,AI/ANs死于肾癌的可能性是白人的两倍。某些州的AI/AN人群可能受益于肾癌早期筛查计划。

Oklahomans, irrespective of race, fare worse in terms of kidney cancer mortality compared to the rest of the country.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In Oklahoma, AI/ANs are more likely than Whites to have a kidney cancer diagnosis. AI/ANs are twice as likely to die from kidney cancer than Whites in Oklahoma. AI/AN populations in certain states may benefit from kidney cancer early screening initiatives.</p>","PeriodicalId":15366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Epidemiology","volume":"2022 ","pages":"2689386"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9234047/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10677481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
