Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province from 2013 to 2022, so as to provide a basis for optimizing comprehensive regional prevention and control strategies.
Methods:Data on incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer in Nantong City from 2013 to 2022 were collected via the Nantong Cancer Registration Reporting System. Crude incidence and mortality were calculated. The Chinese population-standardized incidence and Chinese population-standardized mortality were calculated using the standard age structure from the Fifth National Population Census in 2000. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to analyze the trends in incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer across different genders, age groups, and urban-rural areas from 2013 to 2022.
Results:The crude incidence and Chinese population-standardized incidence in Nantong City rose from 5.79/100 000 and 4.36/100 000 in 2013 to 34.87/100 000 and 30.40/100 000 in 2022, respectively (AAPC=22.226%, 24.139%, both P<0.05). The crude mortality increased from 0.39/100 000 to 1.07/100 000 (AAPC=10.469%, P<0.05), while the trend for Chinese population-standardized mortality was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The Chinese population-standardized incidence and Chinese population-standardized mortality for females were 20.41/100 000 and 0.30/100 000, respectively, which were 3.28 times and 1.50 times those of males. The Chinese population-standardized incidence showed upward trends for both males and females (AAPC=22.840%, 24.592%, both P<0.05), while the trends for Chinese population-standardized mortality were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). From 2013 to 2022, the crude incidence in the age groups of 15-<45, 45-<65, and 65-<85 years, and the crude mortality in the age group of 65-<85 years showed upward trends (AAPC=27.808%, 21.756%, 13.365%, and 8.030%, all P<0.05), while trends in other age groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The Chinese population-standardized incidence in urban areas was 16.96/105, which was 1.40 times that of rural areas. The Chinese population-standardized mortality in rural areas was 0.27/105, which was 1.29 times that of urban areas. From 2013 to 2022, the Chinese population-standardized incidence in both urban and rural areas and Chinese population-standardized mortality in rural areas showed upward trends (AAPC=17.264%, 27.758%, 6.387%, all P<0.05), while trend in Chinese population-standardized mortality in urban areas was not statistically significant (P>0.05).
Conclusions:From 2013 to 2022, the crude incidence, Chinese population-standardized incidence, and crude mortality of thyroid cancer in Nantong City all showed upward trends in the total population, males, and females, while the trend in Chinese population-standardized mortality was stable. There were differences in mortality trends between urban and rural areas: the trend in urban areas was stable, whereas the trend in rural areas was upward.
