BACKGROUND: Studies conducted in Vojvodina from 1960 to 1978 showed that the highest number and percentage of lung cancer cases and deaths occurred in seventh decade of life. Our aim was to analyze epidemiological characteristics of lung cancer in Vojvodina demographically from 1989 to 1998. METHODS: Data used for analyses were provided by the Cancer Registry of Vojvodina from the Institute of Oncology Sremska Kamenica. Descriptive epidemiological method was used. RESULTS: The sex ratio (males to females) of lung cancer incidence in Vojvodina is 5.14. Our study showed that the most unfavorable lung cancer incidence trends were present in age groups ranged from 45 to 49, 60 to 64, 65 to 69, and 70 to 74 years in men and in age groups ranged from 35 to 39, 40 to 44, and 45 to 49 years in women. We also found that the most unfavorable lung cancer mortality trends were present in age groups ranged from 45 to 49, 60 to 64, 65 to 69, and 70 to 74 years in men and in age groups range from 45 to 49 and 70 to 74 years in women. Favorable lung cancer mortality and incidence trend was present only in the age group ranged from 80 to 84 years in men. The highest percentage of diseased and deaths was in the age group ranged from 60 to 69 years for both sexes. In younger age groups the percentage of diseased was less than 2%. CONCLUSION: Preventive measures against lung cancer in our population do not show good results yet. This is either because of greater exposure of population to the risk factors or because of greater exposure to the risk factors of certain age cohorts. Decrease in sex ratio has shown that females are closing onto males when we talk about numbers of new lung cancer cases. It is clear that lung cancer incidence trends in males by age groups has shown greater variability while in females variability occurs on smaller scale when lung cancer incidence trends by age groups are discussed.

favorable malignant diseases globally. In the Republic of Belarus, it ranks third (8.2%) in the cancer incidence structure and first (21.5%) in the cancer mortality structure. The object of the study were the lung cancer incidence and mortality trends in the Republic of Kazakhstan in 1990-2019. Methods: The present study included all patients - residents of Belarus, registered in the national cancer registry from 1990 to 2019 with a diagnosis of lung cancer (ICD-10 code: C33-C34). Demographic variables included gender, age, and area of residence (urban or rural). The number of PD cases is presented as absolute values and rough intensity indicators per 100,000 population. Standardized morbidity and mortality rates are calculated using the world standard (World) and are indicated per 100,000 population. Results: In the study period, the standardized incidence rate decreased from 27.5 to 25.6 per 100 000 population (– 7.1%, p<0.01). In males, it decreased from 62.1 to 54.6 per 100 000 males (– 12.1%, p<0.001); in females, it increased from 5.3 to 6.4 per 100 000 females (+20.7%, p<0.05). The standardized lung cancer mortality rate has decreased over the study period from 23.0 to 18.3 per 100 000 population (– 20.4%, p<0.001). In males, it went down from 53.6 to 40.7 (– 24.1%, p<0.001), and in women it changed slightly from 3.6 to 3.7 (+2.8%, p>0.05) per 100 000 of the relevant sex. The average annual increase in standardized mortality decreased eight times faster than the growth in standardized incidence. Conclusion: In the Republic of Belarus, lung cancer incidence is increasing in males and decreasing in females. At that, lung cancer mortality is decreasing. Quality specialized cancer care creates conditions for quicker negative growth of lung cancer standardized mortality vs. incidence

Abstract Background During the long-term economic recession, health inequalities have been concerned in Japan. Among cancer mortality rates, the widest socioeconomic inequalities of municipal mortality was observed in lung cancer. Our aim was to examine the trends in the inequality by sex and age group. Methods We used the areal deprivation index (ADI) to determine area-level socio-economic position at the municipality level. We calculated age-standardised lung cancer mortality rate by sex, age group (&lt;60/60-74/75+) and ADI quintile group using the vital statistics data. Joinpoint regression models were applied to estimate the average annual percentage changes for the last five years. We also calculated absolute index and relative index of inequalities. Results Among men, a clear socioeconomic gradient in lung cancer mortality was observed for all age groups, but among women, ‘J-shape’ gradients in which Q2 or Q3 had the lowest mortality were observed. For women aged 60-74 years, increasing trends of mortality were observed in more deprived groups (Q3-Q5). Men over 75 years showed noticeably decreasing trends in mortality, while women showed no decrease. Absolute inequalities in women were smaller than those in men, but relative inequalities showed widening trends for all age groups. Conclusions We identified widening area-level gaps in all age groups and stable/increasing trends in lung cancer mortality of the 60-74 year age group. Key messages It is important to monitor mortality trends and their gaps of lung cancer mortality among deprivation groups to identify vulnerable subpopulations in order to help tackle the health inequalities.

Objective: No assessment was conducted describing the age and gender specific epidemiology of lung cancer (LC) prior to 2018 in Hungary, thus the objective of this study was to appraise the detailed epidemiology of lung cancer (ICD-10 C34) in Hungary based on a retrospective analysis of the National Health Insurance Fund database.Methods: This longitudinal study included patients aged ≥20 years with LC diagnosis (ICD-10 C34) between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016. Patients with different cancer-related codes 6 months before or 12 months after LC diagnosis or having any cancer treatment other than lung cancer protocols were excluded.Results: Lung cancer incidence and mortality increased with age, peaking in the 70–79 age group (375.0/100,000 person-years) among males, while at 60–69 age group for females (148.1/100,000 person-years). The male-to-female incidence rate ratio reached 2.46–3.01 (p &lt; 0.0001) among the 70–79 age group. We found 2–11% decrease in male incidence rate at most age groups, while a significant 1–3% increase was observed in older females (&gt;60) annually during the study period.Conclusion: This nationwide epidemiology study demonstrated that LC incidence and mortality in Hungary decreased in younger male and female population, however we found significant increase of incidence in older female population, similar to international trends. Incidence rates peaked in younger age-groups compared to Western countries, most likely due to higher smoking prevalence in these cohorts, while lower age LC incidence could be attributed to higher competing cardiovascular risk resulting in earlier mortality in smoking population.

e13091 Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. We examined the correlation between lung cancer incidence/mortality and country-specific socioeconomic development, and evaluated the most recent global patterns and trends of this cancer in 38 countries. Methods: We retrieved age-standardized incidence rates of lung cancer in 2012 from the GLOBOCAN database. Temporal patterns were assessed for all countries obtained from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents volumes I-X and the WHO mortality database. Simple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate their correlations with Human Development Index (HDI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. The average annual percent change (AAPC) of the incidence and mortality trends in the most recent 10 years were evaluated from join-point regression analysis according to country and gender. The statistical significance of AAPC was ascertained comparing with zero, and all insignificant AAPCs were regarded as having “stable trends”. Results: The global incidence and mortality of lung cancer varied by 31-fold. Country-specific HDI was strongly correlated with age-standardized incidence (r = 0.70) and mortality (r = 0.67), and so was GDP per capita to a lesser extent (r = 0.24 to 0.55) (all p < 0.001). Among men, 22 and 30 (out of 38 and 36) countries showed declining incidence and mortality trends, respectively; whilst among women, 19 and 16 countries showed increasing incidence and mortality trends, respectively. The AAPCs ranged from -2.8 to -0.6 (incidence) and -3.6 to -1.1 (mortality) among countries with declining trend in men, whereas the AAPC range was 0.4 to 8.9 (incidence) and 1 to 4.4 (mortality) among countries with increasing trends in women. Among women, Brazil, Spain and Cyprus had the greatest incidence increase, and all countries in Western, Southern and Eastern Europe had increasing mortality. Conclusions: Countries with higher socioeconomic development had higher lung cancer incidence and mortality. The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer were increasing in many countries among women but declining in most countries among men, highlighting the need for regular surveillance and global preventive measures.
