[Cancer burden in Hebei Province from 2011 to 2020].

Abstract

Objective: To understand the burden of cancer disease in Hebei Province in recent years and to analyze the change trend of cancer in Hebei Province from 2011 to 2020. Methods: The incidence and death data of cancer were collected from 38 cancer registries in Hebei Province during 2011-2020. The incidence (mortality) rate, standardized incidence (mortality) rate and composition ratio of each region, sex, and age were calculated respectively, and the incidence and death of major cancers in our province were summarized. The age-standardized morbidity (mortality) rates of China and the world population were calculated using the 2000 China standard population composition and Segi's world population composition respectively. Trend analysis of morbidity and mortality was performed and average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated. Results: In 2020, the crude cancer incidence rate and the age-standardized morbidity rate of China was 229.36/100 000 and 147.06/100 000, respectively. An estimated 171 600 new cases were reported in the province. The crude cancer mortality rate and the age-standardized mortality rates of China was 146.38/100 000 and 85.33/100 000. The estimated number of deaths in the province is 108 900. In the cancer registration areas of Hebei Province, 84% of all cancer patients occurred in people 50 years of age and older. From 2011 to 2020, the incidence and mortality of cancer in Hebei Province showed a decreasing trend. The AAPC was -4.2% (P＜0.001), which decreased from 206.61/100 000 in 2011 to 143.74/100 000 in 2020. The world standard mortality rate of cancer was 147.69/100 000 in 2011, and decreased to 84.79/100 000 in 2020. The AAPC was -5.7% (P＜0.001). The world-standard incidence and mortality of lung cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer decreased from 2011 to 2020. The AAPCs of the world-standard incidence were -4.0%, -12.3%, -9.4%, -6.0% and -1.6%, respectively. The AAPCs of the world-standard mortality were -4.9%, -11.3%, -8.5%, -5.7% and -3.3%, which were statistically significant. The incidence of thyroid cancer increased rapidly, the AAPC of which was 9.7% (P＜0.001). The rates of female breast cancer and male prostate cancer in Hebei Province were stable. Conclusions: The world-standard incidence and mortality of cancer in Hebei Provincial cancer registries areas show a downward trend from 2011 to 2020. However, the cancer incidence and mortality in Hebei Province are still at high levels. It's necessary to strengthen cancer prevention and control in Hebei Province, improve the awareness of cancer prevention and control in the whole society, and promote the concept of tertiary cancer prevention to reduce the cancer burden in Hebei Province.
