Analysis Of The Status And Trends Of Prostate Cancer Incidence And Mortality In China

Objective:To investigate the status and trends of prostate cancer incidence and mortality in China.Methods:Collecting the registered prostate cancer data between 1998 and 2008 from the National Cancer Registration Center, including the incidence rate and mortality of prostate cancer, the incidence and mortality cumulative rate of males aged 0-74, composition, age-specific incidence rate, age-specific mortality. Comparing and analysing the status and trends of the incidence and mortality between urban and rural men.Results:In 2008, the incidence rate of prostate cancer of chinese men was 11.00/100 000. The incidence cumulative rate of males aged 0-74 was 0.70%, accounting for 3.33% of the incidence of malignant tumors. The incidence rate of urban males was about 3.7 times of that in rural areas. The results of age-specific incidence rate showed that the incidence of chinese males over the age of 70 ranked 1th in the males genitourinary tumor. The average annual growth rate during 1998-2008 was 12.07%. The growth incidence rate of urban men with prostate cancer was higher than in rural areas, it was 8.53/100 000 and 2.53/100 000, but the average annual growth rate was lower than rural males, it was 11.25% and 13.28%.The proportion of high age group was increased significantly in the age composition of the incidence over time. In 2008,the mortality of prostate cancer of chinese men was 4.07/100 000. The mortality cumulative rate of males aged 0-74 was 0.18%,accounting for 1.78% of the mortality of men’s malignant tumors. The mortality of urban males was about 2.7 times of that in rural areas.The results of age-specific mortality showed that the mortality of chinese males over the age of 70 ranked 1th in the males genitourinary tumor. The average annual growth rate during 1998-2008 was 8.44%.The growth mortality rate of urban men with prostate cancer was higher than in rural areas, it was 2.49/100 000和0.96/100 000, but the average annual growth rate was lower than rural males, it was 7.86% and 8.28%. The proportion of high age group was increased significantly in the age composition of the mortality over time.Conclusions:In recent years, the mortality of prostate cancer have showed a obvious growth trend in China. The proportion of high age group was increased significantly in the age composition of the incidence rate and mortality over time. Prostate cancer is becoming a urinary tract malignant tumors that impacts chinese old men’s health seriously.
