P2-283 Breast cancer data quality at the population-based cancer registry of Sao Paulo: implications for public health surveillance and planning

Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases among women worldwide with about 25% of new cases each year. In Brazil, 59,700 new cases of breast cancer were expected in 2019, according to the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA). Survival analysis has been an useful tool for the identifying the risk and prognostic factors for cancer patients. This work aims to characterize the prognostic value of demographic, clinical and pathological variables in relation to the survival time of 2,092 patients diagnosed with breast cancer in Parana State, Brazil, from 2004 to 2016. In this sense, we propose a Bayesian analysis of survival data with long-term survivors by using Weibull regression models through integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA). The results point to a proportion of long-term survivors around 57:6% in the population under study. In regard to potential risk factors, we namely concluded that 40-50 year age group has superior survival than younger and older age groups, white women have higher breast cancer risk than other races, and marital status decreases that risk. Caution on the general use of these results is nevertheless advised, since we have analyzed population-based breast cancer data without proper monitoring by a healthprofessional.

Knowledge To Action

Background: Cancer registry is an important tool for any successful cancer control program. The cancer-related data from Jordan was vague scarcity. This, urged scholars to set up the first and only population-based cancer registry in Jordan. Which did the Ministry of Health and the Middle East Cancer Consortium (MECC) established it jointly. The registry started to collect data from cases of cancer referred to the treatment and diagnostic facilities throughout the country to improve cancer reporting in the country and define the size of the cancer problem and the pattern of cancer in Jordan; distribution of cancer by geographical locations; age; gender; type and cancer sites for both Jordanians and non-Jordanians. Strategy/Tactics: The Jordan Cancer Registry (JCR) collects cancer data in passive and active methods of case finding, the collected data coded by means of ICD_O3. Quality control measures applied, and the data stored and computerized using CanReg_4 and CanReg_5; then analyzed statistically. World standard population for age adjustment and standardization to facilitate national and international comparison and contrast. Outcomes: Incidence of the most common cancers among Jordanians, distributed by site, age, gender, and geographically for the period 2010-2014. The leading cancer among adults, males was colorectal (11.9%) followed by lung (11.7%), leukemia (9.1%), urinary bladder (8.9%) and prostate (8.1%). While among female cancers are breast (34.4%), colorectal (9.4%); leukemia (6.7%); lymphomas (5.8%) and thyroid (5.3%). Childhood cancers were about (4.9%) of all cancers; leukemia was 1st (34.8%) followed by brain and CNS (20.9%) and lymphomas (17.5%). Whereas the most recent mortality data showed lung is responsible for (21.03%) deaths among males followed by colorectal (11.0%) and leukemia (8.02%). Among females breast deaths (26.8%); colorectal (9.3%) and leukemia (7.2%). What was learned: Knowledge to action, based on the JCR data, Jordan started the Jordan Breast Cancer Program for early detection and screening of breast cancer. We are looking forward starting early detection for colorectal cancer soon.

Resumo Introdução A leptospirose figura na lista de doenças de notificação compulsória no Brasil. Objetivo Avaliar o sistema de vigilância epidemiológica da leptospirose no município de Campinas, São Paulo, no período de 2007-2014. Método Foi realizado um estudo de prevalência dos casos de leptospirose no sistema de vigilância epidemiológica. Foram analisados 2.949 casos notificados, considerando-se os atributos do Updated Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems e os parâmetros propostos por Souza et al. (2010) ao Sistema Nacional de Vigilância Epidemiológica. Foram analisados os seguintes atributos: completude, aceitabilidade, sensibilidade, valor preditivo positivo, representatividade e oportunidade. Resultados A completude foi boa (94,1%); a aceitabilidade foi de 68,3%; o valor preditivo positivo foi de 10,7%; a representatividade foi de 98,4%; e a oportunidade ocorreu em 71,4% dos casos. Conclusão É possível concluir que o sistema de vigilância epidemiológica para a leptospirose em Campinas teve uma completude aceitável e bom percentual de suspeição da doença. Foram observados atraso na notificação e na investigação dos casos e precária integração entre os sistemas de informações. A avaliação do sistema de vigilância traz informações importantes para a organização dos serviços de saúde e deve fazer parte da rotina das ações previstas no sistema. Este trabalho pode ser usado como modelo para a avaliação de sistemas de informação de outras doenças de notificação compulsória.
