METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data on the number of deaths attributed to genitourinary cancers recorded in Babol City between 2013 and 2021 through the cause of death registration and classification system. Population estimates were derived from the latest census reports. Subsequently, crude and age-standardized rates, as well as trends for genitourinary cancers, were calculated.
RESULTS: A total of 307 deaths occurred, with an average age of 75.6 ± 14.3 years due to genitourinary cancers. The crude and age-standardized rates of genitourinary cancers increased from 2.7 and 1.9 per hundred thousand people in 2013 to 7.7 and 5.9 per hundred thousand people in 2021, respectively. Over the study period, death rates significantly rose for men (P < 0.001) and remained constant for women (P = 0.444). Examination of genitourinary cancers revealed an upward trend for bladder (P = 0.012) and prostate (P = 0.012) cancers, while a stable trend was observed for kidney (P = 0.070) and testicular (P = 0.139) cancers.
CONCLUSIONS: The age-standardized rate and trend of genitourinary cancers are rising. Consequently, this study emphasizes the importance of prevention through screening programs, raising awareness, and utilizing appropriate diagnostic methods.
方法:这项横断面研究使用了2013年至2021年在巴博尔市通过死亡原因登记和分类系统记录的归因于泌尿生殖系统癌症的死亡人数数据。人口估计数来自最新的人口普查报告。随后,粗率和年龄标准化率,以及泌尿生殖系统癌症的趋势,被计算。
结果:共发生307例死亡,由于泌尿生殖系统癌症,平均年龄为75.6±14.3岁。泌尿生殖系统癌症的粗比率和年龄标准化比率分别从2013年的每10万人2.7和1.9增加到2021年的每10万人7.7和5.9。在学习期间,男性死亡率显著上升(P<0.001),女性死亡率保持不变(P=0.444).泌尿生殖系统癌症检查显示膀胱癌(P=0.012)和前列腺癌(P=0.012)呈上升趋势,而肾癌(P=0.070)和睾丸癌(P=0.139)的趋势稳定。
结论:泌尿生殖系统癌症的年龄标准化率和趋势正在上升。因此,这项研究强调了通过筛查计划进行预防的重要性,提高认识,并利用适当的诊断方法。
