Cancer Mortality, Recent Trends And Perspectives

Abstract

Considering that a register for cancer was established in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina only recently, basic reliable source for the analysis of cancer mortality trends are the data on death cases caused by such diseases. Lack of census as well as standardized mortality rate data makes the study even more difficult to make. The aim of the study is the analysis of the malign diseases trend in the post-war period according to the available data. The study is the descriptive work on the analysis of the system using linear regression methods for expected trend for the total population and age group from 0 to 64 years. Registered rate of cancer mortality in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2004 was 142 per 100000 inhabitants, and indicates input stream in the analyzed period. Total increase in mortality of males and females is 2.5% per year. It is expected that in 2020 around 5000 inhabitants of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina will die of some malign disease. Trend of mortality of malign diseases in males is higher than in females and more probable in older population. There is a tendency of mortality decrease in the group of 0-64 years of age. Mortality list of the most frequent locations of cancer has undergone changes. Liver cancer, colon cancer, sigma and rectum cancer as well as lung and breast cancer lead the list. Objective ageing of the population, technological drawbacks, insufficient primary and secondary prevention worsened by socio-economic life conditions will affect the increase in number of people with malign diseases in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“… 47 However, the meta-analysis dating from the same year 48 reported no significant difference in the risk of death due to cancer between the EVAR and the OSR group. This report draws similar conclusions to our findings, as cancer-related mortality in Slovenia accounts for approximately 30% 49 , 50 , and as a similar rate of cancer-related deaths has also been observed in our study.…”

Analysis of cancer incidence and mortality in Bosnia and Herzegovina and comparison with Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia

“…Constant rising trend can be seen for the crude death rate of malignant neoplasms of pancreas for period 1999-2011 (figure 13). There is significant difference in crude death rate for period 1999-2006(m=6,48, 95% CI 5,88-7,07) and 2007. In this work we have found that there is no significant difference between men (m=9,35, 95% CI 7,95-10,75) and women (m=7,44, 95% CI 6,20-8,69) in crude death rate for malignant neoplasms of pancreas (figure 14).…”
