Lung cancer incidence and mortality in China, 2010

Abstract

Background: The National Central Cancer Registry of China (NCCR) is responsible for cancer surveillance. Local cancer registries in each province submit data for annual publication. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer in China in 2010 by age, gender, and area is reported in this article. Methods: In 2013, 145 of 219 population-based cancer registries' 2010 data were selected after quality evaluation. Classification included Western, Middle, and Eastern areas, and the crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer were calculated by age, gender, and urban and rural. Age-standardized rates were determined by China and World standard population data. The 6th National Population Census data of China was used, combined with the registries' data to estimate the lung cancer burden in China in 2010. Results: Lung cancer had the highest incidence and mortality in China for men and women. It was estimated that 605 946 lung cancer cases were diagnosed in China in 2010, with a crude incidence rate of 46.08/100 000, and 486 555 patients died from lung cancer, with a crude mortality rate of 37.00/100 000. Age-standardized rates for incidence were 35.23/100 000 and 35.04/100 000, respectively. Incidence and mortality rates for lung cancer were higher in men and urban areas than those in women and rural areas, reaching a peak for subjects of 80-84 years old. Conclusion: Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality of all cancers in China, especially for males in urban areas. Our findings justify the need to plan and develop effective interventions, such as air pollution control and smoking deterrents, to control and prevent the spread of lung cancer in China.

Lung cancer incidence and mortality in China, 2011

“…Compared to the 2009 and 2010 incidence and mortality rates, the crude rates of lung cancer in China were lower in 2011, but after age standardization, the incidence and mortality rates were relatively stable. 8,9 These results indicate that, in China, aging is a major cause for the difference in lung cancer incidence and mortality between the areas covered by cancer registries, compared to nationwide. Tobacco smoking and air pollution have been identified as risk factors for lung cancer.…”

“…Lung cancer remained the most commonly diagnosed cancer in China in 2011, as well as the leading cause of cancer death. Compared to the 2009 and 2010 incidence and mortality rates, the crude rates of lung cancer in China were lower in 2011, but after age standardization, the incidence and mortality rates were relatively stable . These results indicate that, in China, aging is a major cause for the difference in lung cancer incidence and mortality between the areas covered by cancer registries, compared to nationwide.…”

Incidence rate of lung cancer in urban Shijiazhuang in 2012 with prevention implication

“…The crude incidence rate, ASRC, and ASRW of lung cancer for men and women in Shijiazhuang city in 2012 were 67.91, 44.10, 46.42, and 28.42, 20.27, 19.14/100 000, respectively, whereas the corresponding rates for men and women in 63 Chinese cities in 2010 were 70.39, 51.22, 51.05, and 33.78, 22.52, 22.24/100 000, respectively . Although the incidence rate of lung cancer in Shijiazhuang was lower than in the 63 Chinese cities when all age intervals were combined, the age‐specific incidence rate at 55, 60, 65, and 70 years in men and 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 55 years in women was higher in Shijiazhuang than in the 63 cities (the national level) (Table ).…”

The interaction between smoking and CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism on lung cancer: a meta-analysis in the Chinese population

“…In China, It was estimated that 605 946 lung cancer cases were diagnosed in 2010, with a crude incidence rate of 46.08/100 000, and 486 555 patients died from lung cancer, with a crude mortality rate of 37.00/100 000 (Zheng et al . ; Wang et al . ).…”

“…Its incidence has been increasing in many parts of world, particularly in China, which has become a major public health challenge all the world (Jemal et al 2011). In China, It was estimated that 605 946 lung cancer cases were diagnosed in 2010, with a crude incidence rate of 46.08/100 000, and 486 555 patients died from lung cancer, with a crude mortality rate of 37.00/100 000 (Zheng et al 2014;Wang et al 2015). The mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis have not been fully illustrated.…”
