“…In contrast with the high survival rate in this study, which is 71.1%, a recent local study done by Razak et al, (2013) reported the overall 5-year survival rate of cervical cancer was only 39.7%. The contrary finding was due to the small sample size and characteristic.…”

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant cancer of the female reproductive organs worldwide. Currently, cervical cancer can be prevented by vaccination and detected at an early stage via various screening methods. Malaysia, as a developing country faces a heavy disease burden of cervical cancer as it is the second most common cancer among Malaysian women. This population based study was carried out to fulfil the primary aim of determining the survival rates of Malaysian women with cervical cancer and associated factors. Data were obtained from two different sources namely, the Malaysian National Cancer Registry (MNCR) and National Health Informatics Centre (NHIC) from 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2005. Kaplan Meier analyses were conducted to identify the overall survival rates and median survival time. Differences in survival among different ethnic and age group were compared using the log-rank test. A total of 5,859 patients were included. The median survival time for cervical cancer in this study was 65.8 months and the 5-year survival rate was 71.1% . The overall observed survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 94.1%, 79.3% and 71.1% respectively. The log-rank test finding also showed that there were significant differences in the 5-year survival rate among different ethnic groups. Malays had the lowest survival rate of 59.2% followed by Indians (69.5%) and Chinese (73.8%). The overall 5-year survival rate among patients with cervical cancer in Malaysia is relatively good. Age and ethnic groups remain as significant determining factors for cervical cancer survival rate.

“…Conversely, poor survival and low quality of life occur when the cancer is detected at later stages of the disease. The chances of survival for patients diagnosed with stage IA is nearly 100% compared to patients diagnosed with stage IVB who has chances of survival of only 20% (Kyrgiou and Shafi, 2010;Razak et al, 2013).…”

“…In studies that were conducted in Asia, the overall five-year survival rate was 18% in Malaysia (Razak et al, 2010), 30.5 % in India (Yeole et al, 2003), 52.8% in Korea (Choi et al, 2014), and 61% in Taiwan (Liu et al, 2010). Due to limited access to diagnostic and treatment services in low-income communities and to the high cost of services, people present with advanced stage lip and oral cavity cancer at the time of diagnosis.…”

Introduction: Lip and oral cavity cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in Asia and considered to be a major public health problem due to the low survival rate. Because of the importance of access to information about this cancer (including incidence, mortality rate and relation to socioeconomic indicators), this study aims at investigating the incidence and mortality of lip and oral cavity cancer and its relationship with the Human Development Index (HDI) of Asia (from 2012). Method: This study was an ecological study in Asia for assessment of the correlation between age-specific incidence rate (ASIR) and age-specific mortality rate (ASMR) with the HDI and its components which include: life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling and gross national income (GNI) per capita. Data on the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for every Asian country for the year 2012 were obtained from the global cancer project and data on the HDI and its components were extracted from the World bank site.

“…It is one of the most common cancers in developing countries, and it also represents a major health issue in Korea and Japan, economically developed Asian nations (Konno et al, 2008;Razak et al, 2013). In Korea, cervical cancer accounted for 9.8% of new cancer cases in 2002, although the age-standardized incidence has steadily declined from 19 per 100,000 women in 1993-1995 to 15 per 100,000 women in 1999-2002(Chung et al, 2006Shin et al, 2007).…”
