ABSTRACT
Objective:
To estimate endometrial cancer (EC) incidence and mortality in China in 2015.Methods:
Qualified cancer registry data collected in 2011-2015 were pooled for analysis, from which EC cases and deaths were extracted. EC cases were classified into endometrioid, nonendometrioid and other & unspecified according to their histologic types. Incidence and mortality rates stratified by region and age group were calculated. Population data of 2015 was used to estimate cancer cases and deaths in China. Segi's population was used for the calculation of age-standardized rates by world standard population (ASW).Results:
Data from 158, 176, 239, 235, 231 qualified cancer registries of 2011 to 2015 were pooled together. These registries covered about 488 million population, including about 255 million population in urban area and 233 million population in rural area. In 2015, a total of 53 600 EC cases were estimated, with a crude incidence rate of 7.74/100 000 and an ASW of 5.13/100 000. Incidence rates were higher in urban areas (9.15/100 000) than in rural areas (6.20/100 000). A total of 10 700 deaths were estimated, with a crude mortality rate of 1.60/100 000 and an ASW of 0.98/100 000. Mortality rate was higher in urban areas (1.78/100 000) than in rural areas (1.40/100 000). Among reported EC cases during 2011-2015, 70.92% (23 641 cases) were endometrioid, 5.13% (1 709 cases) were nonendometrioid and 23.95% (7 982 cases) were other & unspecified. The mean age at onset of all EC cases was 55.9±10.6. The mean age at onset of endometrioid cases (55.7±10.0) was younger than that of nonendometrioid cases (57.7±10.8) (P<0.001). The mean age at onset of all histologic types in urban areas was higher than that in rural areas (P<0.001). The mean age at death for EC deaths was 63.9±12.5. The mean age at death in urban areas (65.3±12.5) was higher than that in rural areas (61.4±12.2) (P<0.001).Conclusion:
EC disease burden differs between urban and rural areas. Targeted cancer prevention and control strategies should be made for each region.
