Abstract: Objective:To analyze the incidence and mortality of liver cancer in Gansu Province in 2017, and provide a basis for formulating prevention and treatment strategies for liver cancer.
Method:We collected registration data of cancer incidence, mortality and population data reported by 23 cancer registration points in Gansu Province in 2020, and the data from 10 registration points meet the quality control standards. We calculated the incidence and mortality of liver cancer according to gender, areas (urban and rural) and age groups, and use the standard population composition of China in 2000 and Segi's world standard population age composition to calculate the standardized rate of Chinese population (ASR China) and the standardized rate of world population (ASR World).
Result:In 2017, there were 774 new cases of liver cancer in the cancer registration area of Gansu Province, accounting for 7.90% of all malignant cancers, ranking fifth in the incidence of malignant cancers, with an incidence rate of 23.35/100 000 (male 31.89/100 000, female 14.43/100 000), ASR China was 16.19/100 000, ASR World was 15.95/100 000, and the cumulative rate was 1.87%; the incidence rate in urban areas was 23.25/100 000, and ASR China was 15.20/100 000; in rural areas, the crude incidence rate in the region was 23.55/100 000, and ASR China was 18.91/100 000. In 2017, there were 623 new cases dying from liver cancer in the cancer registration area of Gansu Province, accounting for 12.16% of all cancer deaths ranking third among cancer death profiles, with a mortality rate of 18.80/100 000 (male 25.04/100 000, female 12.27/100 000), ASR China was 13.03/100 000, ASR World was 12.88/100 000, and the cumulative rate was 1.49%; the crude mortality rate in urban areas was 18.94/100 000, and ASR China was 12.29/100 000; The crude mortality rate in rural areas was 18.51/100 000, and ASR China was 15.35/100 000. In 2017, the area with the highest incidence and mortality of liver cancer in the cancer registration area of Gansu Province was Jingtai County.
Conclusion:The incidence and mortality of liver cancer in Gansu Province are still high, and there are regional and gender differences. According to the actual situation and the epidemiological characteristics of liver cancer, health education should be actively carried out, comprehensive prevention and control of liver cancer risk factors should be implemented, and early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer should be promoted. Taking screening as the starting point, multi-dimensional joint efforts to promote the prevention and control of liver cancer in Gansu Province.
