Incidence and Mortality of Lung Cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries, 2013-2017

Abstract

Objective To analyze the incidence, mortality and time trend of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries from 2013 to 2017. Methods We calculated the incidence (mortality) rate and age-standardized incidence (mortality) rate of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries from 2013 to 2017. Chinese population census in 2000 and World Segi's standard population were used for age-standardization. Annual percentage change (APC) was calculated using Joinpoint software. Results The incidence of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries from 2013 to 2017 was 63.44/105 and ASR China was 36.14/105. The incidence of lung cancer in males (78.08/105) was higher than that in females (49.04/105). The incidence of lung cancer in rural areas (65.54/105) was higher than that in urban areas (58.20/105). From 2013 to 2017, the mortality rate of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries was 57.02/105, and ASR China was 32.53/105. The mortality rate of lung cancer in males (69.92/105) was higher than that in females (44.40/105). The mortality rate of lung cancer in rural areas (60.68/105) was higher than that in urban areas (48.02/105). The incidence of lung cancer in the 55-year-old age group showed a downward trend (APC=-5.0%, t=-5.1, P < 0.05), and the mortality rate of lung cancer in the 70-year-old group showed a downward trend (APC=-4.9%, t=-5.0). Conclusion Heilongjiang Province is a high incidence area of lung cancer. The prevention and control of lung cancer should be further strengthened according to the epidemiological characteristics of lung cancer in this province.
