Objective To investigate the
disease burden of
malignancies in Hangzhou in 2006-2015,and provide information for the prevention and control of
cancer.
Methods Data regarding deaths due to
malignancies in Hangzhou in 2006-2015 was collected from general
surveillance information.The main
disease burden and population distribution of
malignancies were determined by analyzing
Potential years of life lost (
PYLL),
Potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR),standardized
potential years of life lost (SPYLL),average
years of life lost (AYLL),etc.Results
PYLL and SPYLL for overall
cancer were 733 811.0 years and 540 794.4 years,respectively,while PYLLR and AYLL were 12.9‰ and 13.1 year/
person respectively.The top 5
cancers by
PYLL were
liver cancer,
lung cancer,
stomach cancer,
colorectal cancer,and
leukemia accounting for 67.5% of overall PYLLR.The
disease burden of malignant
cancer was higher among
male than
female subjects.The peak of
disease burden occurred in middle-
aged and
elderly patients.
PYLL rate,SPYLL rate,and AYLL from 2011 to 2015 were lower than those from 2006 to 2010,except for
cervical cancer.Conclusion Comprehensive control
measures should be carried out for the
malignancies with a greater burden.
