RESUMEN
@#Objective To investigate the dietary patterns of rural residents in the high-incidence areas of esophageal cancer (EC), and to explore the clustering and influencing factors of risk factors associated with high-incidence characteristics. Methods A special structured questionnaire was applied to conduct a face-to-face survey on the dietary patterns of rural residents in Yanting county of Sichuan Province from July to August 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors of risk factor clustering for EC. Results There were 838 valid questionnaires in this study. A total of 90.8% of rural residents used clean water such as tap water. In the past one year, the people who ate fruits and vegetables, soybean products, onions and garlic in high frequency accounted for 69.5%, 32.8% and 74.5%, respectively; the people who ate kimchi, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, barbecue, hot food and mildew food in low frequency accounted for 59.2%, 79.6%, 68.2%, 90.3%, 80.9% and 90.3%, respectively. The clustering of risk factors for EC was found in 73.3% of residents, and the aggregation of two risk factors was the most common mode (28.2%), among which tumor history and preserved food was the main clustering pattern (4.6%). The logistic regression model revealed that the gender, age, marital status and occupation were independent influencing factors for the risk factors clustering of EC (P<0.05). Conclusion A majority of rural residents in high-incidence areas of EC in Yanting county have good eating habits, but the clustering of some risk factors is still at a high level. Gender, age, marital status, and occupation are influencing factors of the risk factors clustering of EC.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the incidence rate of upper digestive tract cancer in Cixian, China, a particular area with high inci-dence of esophageal cancer. Methods:Statistical analysis was performed on the 2003-2012 incidence data of upper digestive tract can-cer in Cixian. The annual incidence rate, Chinese population standardized incidence rate (the bid rate), and structure of world popula-tion standardized incidence rate (referred to as the world standard rate) were calculated. The incidence data were divided into two groups according to period (2003-2007 and 2008-2012), and different age groups were compared. Results:From 2003 to 2012, the in-cidence of upper gastrointestinal cancer was 165.36/10 million. The 2003-2007 crude incidence rate was 171.55/10 million), whereas 2008-2012 crude incidence rate was 151.41/10 million which has reduced over the last five years. Esophageal cancer incidence from 2003 to 2012 had a crude incidence rate of 108.05/10 million during the two periods (from 2003 to 2007, the incidence rate was 116.87/10 million;and from 2008 to 2012, 99.58/10 million), the crude incidence rate of the latter 5-year period has declined obvious-ly. From 2003 to 2012, the overall crude incidence rate of cardia cancer was 31.21/10 million, comparison of two peaiods (from 2003 to 2007 was 29.11/10 million, and 2008-2012, 33.23/10 million) indicated that the level of measurement of the latter period in-creased. At the same period, the overall incidence rate of gastric cancer was 26.10/10 million, comparison of the two periods (2003-2007 the crude incidence rate was 25.57/10 million, 2008-2012 was 26.60/10 million) indicated that the level of the parameter in the latter 5 years increased slightly. Conclusion:The incidence of esophageal cancer in Cixian decreased significantly, but the area remains to have the highest incidence rate of cardiac cancer morbidity. The incidence rate of distal gastric cancer increased significantly in males but decreased slightly in females, which suggests that early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cardia and distal stomach cancer is extremely important.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the prevalence of esophageal cancer and various lesions of esophagus in high risk areas through a screening program for early diagnosis and treatment.Methods Random cluster sampling method was used to select some portions of a natural village as screening object in the high risk areas of esophageal cancer,from 2006 to 2011.Endoscope iodine staining and index biopsy screening methods were used on people with high risk and followed by pathological exams for confirmation.Results The detection rates regarding mild esophageal hyperplasia,moderate and severe esophageal hyperplasia were 5.33％ (803/15 065),1.28％( 193/15 065 ),0.68％( 102/15 065 ) respectively while the detection rates on carcinoma in situ,intramucosal carcinoma and invasive cancer were 0.15％(22/15 065),0.06％(9/15 065),0.29％(43/15 065)respectively.The detection rate in male esophageal hyperplasia was higher than in female.People younger than 65 years old,the detection rates on mild,moderate or severe esophageal hyperplasia and invasive cancer showed an increase with age,with the 60- year-olds group reaching the highest.The detection rates on the above said diseases were 7.72％( 198/2565 ),2.07％(53/2565),1.29％( 33/2565 ),0.51％ ( 13/2565 ) respectively.The detection rates on mild,moderate or severe esophageal hyperplasia varied in different years and with statistically significant differences (P＜0.001) but did not show any obvious trend of changing.Geographical distribution of mild esophageal hyperplasia,moderate esophageal hyperplasia,severe esophageal hyperplasia also significantly varied in different villages (P＜0.001).The highest detection rate in the mountainous villages was seen the highest while the detection rate of village from hilly areas was the lowest.Conclusion There were considerable numbers of patients with precancerous lesions in the general population from the high risk areas.The detection rate of esophageal cancer in the mountain residents was higher than the rate in the hilly areas.Men and the elderly were the key populations calling for esophageal cancer prevention programs to be carried out.
