Cancer incidence rates are presented for the Nairobi Cancer Registry, a population-based cancer registry (PBCR) covering the population of the capital city of Kenya (3.2 million inhabitants in 2009). Case finding was by active methods, with standard and checks for accuracy and validity. During the period 2004-2008 a total of 8,982 cases were registered comprising 3,889 men (an age standardized ...

Between the years of 2010-2012, it was estimated there were a total of 112,392 new cases of cancers in Thailand, thus, the total age-standardized rate (ASR) per 100,000 is 137.6. In regards to the most prevalent types of cancer in female, breast cancer has the highest ASR, followed by cervical cancer (ASR=14.4); liver and bile duct cancer; colon and rectum cancer; trachea, bronchus and lung can...

The main objective of this study was to analyze the mortality trends of female breast cancer in Turkey between the years 1987-2008. The rates per 100,000 age-standardized to the European standard population were assessed and time trends presented using joinpoint regression analysis. Average annual percent change (AAPC), anual percent change (APC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated....

INTRODUCTION Design and implementation of screening programs in each country must be based on epidemiological data. Despite the relatively high incidence of CRC, there is no nationwide comprehensive program for screening in Iran. This study was designed to investigate national CRC data and help to determine guidelines for screening. METHODS Incidence data used in this study were obtained from...

background: maintenace and promotion of health are the duties of governments. for suitable resource allocation decisions in health sector, we need measures that combine information on mortality and non-fatal health outcomes. disability adjusted life years (dalys) have above mentioned features.  breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. it is the first cause of death in 40-44 years ol...

AIM The aim of this study is to estimate oral cavity cancer mortality for Iranian population, using Bayesian approach in order to revise this misclassification. BACKGROUND Mortality is a familiar projection to address the burden of cancers, but according to Iranian death registry, about 20% death statistics were still recorded in misclassified categories. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed na...

PURPOSE Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon brain tumor accounting for 2%-5% of all primary brain tumors. Few population-based analyses of survival for patients with PCNSL have been conducted, particularly in Asian countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database, 1,062 cases of PCNSL newly diagnosed from 1999 to 2009 were analyzed...
