Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Cancer is a global health challenge with complex characteristics. Despite progress in research and treatment, a universally effective prevention strategy is lacking. Access to reliable information, especially on occurrence rates, is vital for cancer management. This study aims to create a database containing individual and spatially integrated data on commonly diagnosed cancers in Iran from 2014 to 2017, serving as a valuable resource for spatial-epidemiological approaches.
METHODS: This database encompasses several files related to cancer data. The first file is an Excel spreadsheet, containing information on newly diagnosed cancer cases from 2014 to 2017. It provides demographic details and specific characteristics of 482,229 cancer patients. We categorized this data according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reporting rules to identify cancers with the highest incidence. To create a geodatabase, individual data was integrated at the county level and combined with population data. Files 2 and 3 contain gender-specific spatial data for the top cancer types and non-melanoma skin cancer. Each file includes county identifications, the number of cancer cases for each cancer type per year, and gender-specific population information. Lastly, there is a user\'s guide file to help navigate through the data files.
摘要:
目的:癌症是一个具有复杂特征的全球性健康挑战。尽管在研究和治疗方面取得了进展,缺乏普遍有效的预防战略。获得可靠的信息,特别是在发生率上,对癌症管理至关重要。这项研究旨在创建一个数据库,其中包含2014年至2017年伊朗常见诊断癌症的个人和空间综合数据,作为空间流行病学方法的宝贵资源。
方法:该数据库包含与癌症数据相关的几个文件。第一个文件是Excel电子表格,包含2014年至2017年新诊断癌症病例的信息。它提供了482,229名癌症患者的人口统计学细节和具体特征。我们根据国际癌症研究机构(IARC)报告规则对这些数据进行分类,以确定发病率最高的癌症。要创建地理数据库,个人数据在县一级进行整合,并与人口数据相结合。文件2和3包含顶级癌症类型和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的性别特定空间数据。每个文件都包括县标识,每年每种癌症类型的癌症病例数,和针对性别的人口信息。最后,有一个用户的指南文件来帮助浏览数据文件。
