The estimates of new cancer cases and cancer deaths were 3,093,039 and 1,956,622 in 2010, respectively. The percentage of morphologically verified cases were 67.11%; 2.99% of incident cases were identified through death certification only, with the mortality to incidence ratio of 0.61. The crude incidence was 235.23/100,000(268.65/100,000 in males and 200.21/100,000 in females). The age-standardized rates by Chinese standard population(ASR China) and by world standard population(ASR world) were 184.58/100,000 and 181.49/100,000, respectively, with a cumulative incidence(0-74 years old) of 21.11%. The crude cancer mortality was 148.81/100,000(186.37/100,000 in males and 109.42/100,000 in females). The ASR China and ASR world were 113.92/100,000 and 112.86/100,000, respectively, with a cumulative mortality of 12.78%. Lung, breast, gastric, liver, esophageal, colorectal, and cervical cancers were the most common cancers. Lung, liver, gastric, esophageal, colorectal, breast, and pancreatic cancers were the leading causes of cancer deaths. The coverage of cancer registration has rapidly increased in China in recent years and may reflect more accurate cancer burdens among populations living in different areas. Given the increasing cancer burden in the past decades, China should strengthen its cancer prevention and control.展开更多

Methods: In 2010, 48 cancer registries reported cancer incidence and mortality data of 2007 to National Central Cancer Registry of China. Of them, 38 registries' data met the national criteria. Incidence and mortality were calculated by cancer sites, age, gender, and area. Age-standardized rates were described by China and World population. Results: The crude incidence rate for all cancers was 276.16/100,000 (305.22/100,000 for male and 246.46/100,000 for female; 284.71/100,000 in urban and 251.07/100,000 in rural). Age-standardized incidence rates by China and World population were 145.39/100,000 and 189.46/100,000 respectively. The crude mortality rate for all cancers was 177.09/100,000 (219.15/100,000 for male and 134.10/100,000 for female; 173.55/100,000 in urban and 187.49/100,000 in rural). Age-standardized mortality rates by China and World population were 86.06/100,000 and 116.46/100,000, respectively. The top 10 most frequently common cancer sites were the lung, stomach, colon and rectum, liver, breast, esophagus, pancreas, bladder, brain and lymphoma, accounting for 76.12% of the total cancer cases. The top 10 causes of cancer death were cancers of the lung, liver, stomach, esophagus, colon and rectum, pancreas, breast, leukemia, brain and lymphoma, accounting for 84.37% of the total cancer deaths. Conclusion: Cancer remains a major disease threatening people's health in China. Prevention and control should be enhanced, especially for the main cancers.展开更多

In this study, the national population?based cancer registration data were used to evaluate and analyze liver cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2011 and provide a reference for liver cancer prevention and control.Methods: We collected and evaluated the incidence and mortality data of liver cancer in 2011 from 177 cancer registries with qualiied data. These data were used in the inal analysis including calculating crude, standardized, and truncated incidences and mortalities, and estimated new liver cancer cases and deaths using age?speciic rates and the corresponding populations. The national census in 2000 and Segi's population were used for age?standardized rates.Results: The estimates of new liver cancer cases and deaths were 355,595 and 322,416, respectively, in China in 2011. The crude incidence, age?standardized rate of incidence by Chinese standard population(ASRIC), and age?stand?ardized rate of incidence by world standard population(ASRIW) of liver cancer were 26.39/100,000, 19.48/100,000, and 19.10/100,000, respectively; the crude mortality, age?standardized rate of mortality by Chinese standard popula?tion(ASRMC), and age?standardized rate of mortality by world standard population(ASRMW) of liver cancer were 23.93/100,000,17.48/100,000, and 17.17/100,000, respectively. The incidence and mortality were higher in rural areas than in urban areas and higher in males than in females. The age?speciic incidence and mortality of liver cancer increased greatly with age, particularly after 30 years and peaked at 80–84 or 85+ years.Conclusions: Liver cancer is a common cancer in China, particularly for males and residents in rural areas. Targeted prevention, early detection, and treatment programs should be carried out.展开更多

Methods: The prevalence of gastric lesions including superficial gastritis(SG), chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG), IM and Dys was determined by histopathologic examination. The genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. The effects of PSCA genetic variant on the risks of IM and Dys were calculated by unconditional logistic regression. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed subjects carrying PSCA rs2294008 CT/TT genotype were associated with an increased risk of IM (OR=1.38, 95% CI=1.11-1.71) and Dys (OR=1.75, 95% CI=1.36-2.26), especially for subjects with H.pylori infection (IM: OR=1.34, 95% CI=1.05-1.71; Dys: OR=1.82, 95% CI=1.37-2.42). Furthermore, H. pylori infection and PSCA rs2294008 CT/TT genotype were observed to jointly elevate the risk of IM (OR=3.32, 95% CI=2.33-4.71) and Dys (OR=4.58, 95% CI=2.99-7.04). Conclusion: This study suggested that PSCA rs2294008 might have an impact on the risk of IM or Dys among the high risk population of GC.展开更多
