Incidence and Mortality of Cervical Cancer in the Republic of Kazakhstan: 2007-2016

Background: Epidemiology of cervical cancer is relatively well studied in developed countries of the world, but little is known about Central Asian states. This study aimed to analyze the changing patterns of cervical cancer incidence and mortality in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Methods: The statistical analysis of official data on cervical cancer mortality and morbidity was performed for the whole country. Data on cervical cancer patients were retrieved for the period 2007-2016. Results: There was an increase in the incidence of cervical cancer among the population of Kazakhstan from 15.24 per 100,000 in 2007 to 18.83 per 100,000 in 2016. This might be attributed to the introduction of national health program in 2011, which improved early identification. Over the last few years, the decreasing cervical cancer mortality is observed influenced by early diagnosis. The age-standardized incidence rates show that the majority of cervical cancer cases occur in the 40-49 yr age group. Conclusion: The incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer in Kazakhstan in 2007-2016 are comparable with those in the neighboring former Soviet Union countries. Significant variations in incidence and mortality rates and one-year cancer-specific survival were observed between country regions.

Background: The incidence and mortality from prostate cancer in most native Asian populations remain low although a gradual increase is observed over the last years. Methods: The statistical analysis of official data on prostate cancer mortality and morbidity was performed for the whole country and for Pavlodar Region. Results: The increase in the incidence of prostate cancer among the population of Kazakhstan is observed, which may be attributed to the introduction of screening program based on serum PSA. Still, the crude incidence rates in Kazakhstan are below world indices. Over the last few years, the decreasing prostate cancer mortality is observed that might be influenced by early diagnosis. The age-standardized incidence rates show that the majority of prostate cancer cases occur in advanced ages (70 years and older). Conclusion: More research is needed to determine the risk factors for prostate cancer, as well as ethnic and geographical trends for the population of Kazakhstan

Objectives. Cervical cancer mortality rates among the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population in North and South Dakota were five times the national average (15.6 per 100,000 vs. 3.1 per 100,000, age adjusted) when last evaluated (from 1989 through 1993). Our goals were to update the AI/AN population cervical cancer mortality rates and to present incidence rates for AI/AN women in the region. Methods. We reviewed charts for women diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer at Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities in North and South Dakota from 1994 through 1998 and collected information about cervical cancer screening and treatment history. Incidence and mortality rates were standardized to the 1970 U.S. population. Results. Twenty-one cases of invasive cervical cancer and eight deaths were identified. Annualized incidence and mortality rates were 11.5 per 100,000 and 4.5 per 100 000. These compare with national all-race/ethnicity rates of 8.5 per 100,000 and 2.7 per 100,000 for incidence and mortality. Fifteen (71%) of 21 cases were diagnosed due to symptoms. Conclusions. While cervical cancer mortality rates have declined, incidence and mortality rates among AI/AN women remain higher than in the general U.S. population. Increased use of pap tests and careful follow-up of abnormal results should be aggressively promoted among AI/AN women in North and South Dakota.

Abstract: Introduction: The organized breast and cervical screening programs were implemented in the framework of public health program in Hungary in order to reduce breast cancer mortality by 30% and cervical cancer mortality by 60% in given age groups within 10 years by 2012. Aim: The aim of our study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of mortality and morbidity data and to evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented screening programs. Method: Descriptive statistical analysis was performed by age-standardized mortality and morbidity data between 1980 and 2015 with special regard to the period of 2002–2012. Results: Breast cancer mortality of women aged 45–64 reduced by 28.3%, the incidence reduced by 23.6% and the incidence of in situ carcinoma increased by 242% between 2002 and 2012. Cervical cancer mortality of women aged 25–64 years reduced by 25.5%, the incidence reduced by 21.2%, and the incidence of in situ carcinoma increased by 13.3% during 2002–2012. Conclusion: Although both breast cancer and cervical cancer mortality substantially decreased in Hungary, the decrease in cervical cancer did not reach the target value.

Cervical Cancer Mortality

Abstract Background We compared women with incident cervical cancer under the age of 30 with older women with regard to stage, morphology, screening history and cervical cancer mortality in a population-based cohort study. Methods We included data from the Cancer Registry of Norway. Incidence rates (per 100,000 women-years) were calculated and joinpoint regression was used to analyse trends. The Nelson-Aalen cumulative hazard function for risk of cervical cancer death during a 15-year follow-up was displayed. The hazard ratios (HRs) of cervical cancer mortality with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived from Cox regression models. Results The incidence of cervical cancer in women under the age of 30 has almost tripled since the 1950s, with the steepest increase during 1955–80 (with an annual percentage change (APC) of 7.1% (95%CI 4.4–9.8)) and also an increase after 2004 (3.8% (95%CI -1.3–9.2)). Out of 21,160 women with cervical cancer (1953–2013), 5.3% were younger than 30 years. A lower proportion of younger women were diagnosed at more advanced stages and a slightly higher proportion were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma comparing women above 30 years. The cumulative risk of cervical cancer death was lower for patients under the age of 30. However, the difference between the age groups decreased over time. The overall adjusted HR of cervical cancer mortality was 0.69 (95% CI 0.58–0.82) in women diagnosed under the age of 30 compared to older women. Conclusion There has been an increase in cervical cancer incidence in women under the age of 30. Cervical cancer in younger women was not more advanced at diagnosis compared to older women, and the cervical cancer mortality was lower.

Cervical Cancer Mortality

The purpose of the study was a comparative assessment of the cervical cancer incidence and mortality among females in urban and rural populations of the Omsk region.Material and Methods. The study included females aged over 18 years from urban and rural areas of the Omsk region. According to population-based cancer registry data for the period 2004–16, the crude cancer incidence and mortality rates in urban and rural populations were calculated. The variational and correlation analyzes were used, the differences were assessed using Student t-test.Results. During 2004–16, the cervical cancer incidence among females of the Omsk region showed an increasing tendency, reaching a peak incidence in women aged 35–54. Concerning the cervical cancer mortality rate, it tended to decrease. For rural females, the cervical cancer mortality rate decreased from 10.8 to 9.7 per 100,000 females (p>0.05). For urban females, the mortality rate decreased from 9.2 to 7.5 per 100,000 females (p>0.05). No significant differences in the mortality rates between urban and rural females were found (p>0.05). The tendency towards decreased incidence of advanced cervical cancer (the average decrease being 3.3 % for rural females and 2.8 % for urban females, p>0.05) and increased incidence of early stage cervical cancer (the average rise being 1.8 % and 1.9 %, respectively) was observed.Conclusion. In the Omsk region, the cervical cancer mortality rate for both rural and urban females showed a tendency to decrease. During the study period, the incidence of cervical cancer had increased; however the incidence of advanced cervical cancer had decreased.
