Objective To study the urban elder people's cancer-spectrum in Chongqing from 1991 to 1998 in order to obtain the first-hand data and references for the prevention and the treatment of carcinoma in the seniles. Methods The data of population and death causes were collected with cluster sampling method in the communities of business, culture and industry in Chongqing. Their mortality rate, disease-specific mortality rate and the sequence of the death causes were analyzed. Results Their first death causes was cancer (mortality rate 811.95/105 persons, accounted for 21.25% of all death causes). The mortality rate of five cancers was as follows: lung cancer (282.45/105), esophagus cancer(119.47/105), liver cancer(108.41/105), stomach cancer (73.75/105) and intestine cancer (55.31/105). The prevalence of different cancer between male and female at different communiteis was different. Conclusions It is very important to strengthen the protection of the environment and advocate the healthy life mode in order to lower the mortality rate by cancer in urban seniles.
