Time Trends of Ovarian Cancer Incidence in China

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the trend of ovary cancer incidence from 1999 to 2010 in China and predict the burden up to 2020. Crude incidence, age specific incidence and age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated. Joinpoint regression was performed to obtain estimated annual percentages and Bayesian age-periodcohort modeling was used to predict the incidence rate until the year 2020. In China, the crude rate of ovary cancer was 7.91/100,000 and the age-adjusted rate was 5.35/100,000 overall during period 1999-2010. The rates in urban regions were higher than in rural regions. A significant rising trend during 1999-2006 was followed by a drop during 2006-2010 in age-adjusted rates for urban females. In contrast, constant rise was observed in rural women. The decrease in ovary cancer of urban areas tended to be restricted to women aged 50 years and younger. In contrast, increases of ovary cancer in rural areas appeared in virtually all age groups. Although the age-adjusted incidence rate for ovary cancer was predicted to be reduced after year 2011, the crude rate was likely to be relative stable up to 2020. The burden of ovary cancer in China will continue to be relative stable due to the aging population.

Overexpression of TRPM7 is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Human Ovarian Carcinoma

“…In China, the age-adjusted incidence and motility rate of ovarian cancer is 5.35 and 1.6 per 100,000, respectively (Kim et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2014). Although substantial advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapeutic treatments have been made in ovarian cancer, only approximately 30% patients with ovarian cancer can survive 5 years after the initial diagnosis (Vaughan et al, 2011).…”

Ovarian Cancer in Iranian Women, a Trend Analysis of Mortality and Incidence

“…Developed countries in West showed decreasing rate, in contrast to Asian region (Marugame and Hirabayashi, 2007;Lowe et al, 2013). In China, a significant rising trend of OC incidence, during 1999-2006 was observed and a drop happened during 2006-2010 for urban women, but a constant rise was observed in rural women (Wang, 2014) and study in Karachi, revealed stable incidence ovary cancer, but involves a relatively younger age group (Bhurgri et al, 2011).…”

Advances in tumor markers of ovarian cancer for early diagnosis

“…[1] China has gradually entered the aging society and ovarian cancer incidence increased year by year. [2] Its mortality rate ranked to first in gynecological tumors. The occurrence of ovarian cancer had a trend of younger in recent years.…”
