Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the trends in cancer mortality among residents in Wuyi County, so as to provide insights into the development of the cancer control strategy.
Methods:The deaths due to cancer among residents in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019 were collected from Zhejiang Provincial Information Management System for Surveillance of Chronic Diseases. The crude mortality and standardized mortality of cancer and annual percent change (APC) of were calculated to analyze the trends in cancer mortality and causes of death.
Results:A total of 3 424 deaths occurred due to cancer in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019, and the crude and standardized mortality rates of cancer were 199.65/105 and 185.87/105, respectively. The crude mortality of cancer was significantly higher in men than in women (271.53/105 vs. 125.40/105;χ2=459.374, P<0.001). The standardized mortality of cancer showed a tendency towards a reduction among all study subjects, men and residents at ages of 45 to 59 years (APC=-3.87%, -4.44%,-11.46%, all P<0.05), and the crude mortality of cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise with age in all study subjects, men and women (χ2=7 063.842, 2 155.609, 5 492.128, all P<0.001). Lung cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, bowel cancer and esophageal cancer were the five leading causes of cancer-related mortality, which accounted for 71.41% of all cancer mortality. The crude mortality of central nervous system cancer (2.07/105) and leukemia (1.66/105) was high among residents at ages of 0 to 14 years, and the crude mortality of liver cancer (3.02/105) and lung cancer (2.01/105) was high among residents at ages of 15 to 44 years, while the crude mortality of lung cancer (51.57/105) and liver cancer (36.22/105)was high among residents at ages of 45 to 59 years, and the crude mortality of lung cancer (305.48/105) and gastric cancer (114.65/105) was high among residents at ages of 60 years and older.
Conclusions:The standardized mortality of cancer appeared a tendency towards a reduction in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019, and men and the elderly were high-risk populations for cancer. Screening, early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer and cervical cancer should be given a high priority.
