Abstract

Lack of survival improvement in adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer has led to increased awareness of this young population. We carried out a population-based study of incidence and survival of primary tumours and second primary tumours in patients aged 12-24 in north Netherlands. Age-specific incidence rates per 100,000 and 3-year moving means were calculated. Factors associated with incidence and survival were assessed using a Poisson model, log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis. From 1989 to 2003 a total of 1118 patients were diagnosed. The total age-specific incidence rates per 100,000 were as follows: males: 13.4 (12-15 years), 26.9 (16-19 years) and 27.5 (20-24 years) and females: 13.9, 20.7 and 20.7. Male : female ratio was 1.32. The overall estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in incidence was 2.15% (P < 0.01). Five-year survival was 80.8% and did not improve during the study period. With median follow-up of 5.5 years (range 0.0-16.0) in our cohort the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of second primary tumours was 30.55 (95% confidence interval = 19.96-44.76, P < 0.05). The total incidence of cancer in AYA increased (EAPC = 2.15%). Survival was unchanged. The SIR of a second ...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
