International Variation in Lung Cancer Mortality Rates and Trends among Women

摘要: Background: There is no recent comprehensive global analysis of lung cancer mortality in women. We describe contemporary rates and trends among women globally. Methods: used the World Health Organization's Cancer Mortality Database covering 65 populations on six continents to calculate age-standardized (1960 Segi world standard) death during 2006 2010 annual percent change for available years from 1985 2011 most five data by population age group (30–49 50–74 years). Results: Lung (per 100,000) young years) ranged 0.7 Costa Rica 14.8 Hungary. Rates were stable or declining 47 52 examined. 50 74 8.8 Georgia Egypt 120.0 Scotland. In both groups, highest parts Europe (Scotland, Hungary, Denmark) North America lowest Africa, Asia, Latin America. older increasing more than half (36/64) examined, including countries Southern, Eastern, Western South America. Conclusions: Although widespread reductions provide evidence tobacco control success, continue increase many countries. Impact: More concentrated efforts initiate expand programs these globally will be required attenuate future burden. Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 23(6); 1–12. ©2014 AACR .
