Analysis of cancer incidence and mortality in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014

Objective To explore the cancer incidence and mortality in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014. Methods The data of 12 cancer registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014 were taken to analyze the characteristics of cancer incidence and mortality for patients with different age and gender in different areas. And then the results were compared with the malignant cancer incidence and mortality in the nationwide. Results There were 11 703 new cases, including 6 559 males and 5 144 females in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014, and the incidence rate was 221.21/105, while the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population and world population was 163.91/105 and 163.25/105, respectively. The cancer incidence rate in urban areas was 247.02/105 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 171.35/105. In rural areas, the cancer incidence rate was 205.98/105 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 159.03/105. The common cancer sites were stomach, lung, esophagus, liver and colorectum for males. And breast, cervix, lung, esophagus, stomach were the common cancer sites for females. There were 7 283 malignant death cases, including 4 548 males and 2 735 females. The crude cancer mortality rate was 137.66/105, and the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population was 99.67/105 and world population was 100.11/105. The crude cancer mortality rate in urban areas was 141.03/105 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 92.84/105. In rural areas, the crude cancer mortality rate was 135.68/105 and the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population was 103.69/105. Male common malignant tumor deaths included lung cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer, while lung, stomach, liver, esophagus and cervix were the common cancer death sites for females. Conclusions The incidence and mortality of malignant tumors in registration areas in Shanxi Province are mainly lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer and cervix uteri cancer. The incidence rates of stomach cancer and cervical cancer are high. Key words: Malignant neoplasms; Incidence analysis; Mortality analysis; Cancer registry
