ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The impact of carcinogenic infections on cancer-related mortality is unknown.

METHODS:

The mortality due to cancers attributable to carcinogenic infections was estimated. The attributable fraction for the infectious agents classified as group 1 carcinogenic in human beings was applied to yearly data on causes of cancer mortality over the period 2013-2017 in Spain according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).

RESULTS:

It was estimated that 9115 deaths (over 110,287 cancer-related deaths, 8.3%) were attributable to infections caused by carcinogenic agents. The estimated number of deaths in men was 5434 (59.6%). The estimated mortality attributable to Helicobacter pylori infection accounted for 48.3% and four agents (H. pylori, HCV, HPV, and HBV) accounted for 96.8% of all cancer deaths attributable to carcinogenic infections. The burden of cancer-related mortality attributable to carcinogenic infections in Spain during the period 2013-2017 was approximately 8%.

CONCLUSIONS:

In Spain, one-twelfth of cancer deaths are attributable to carcinogenic infections. Public health measures aiming to reduce the impact of carcinogenic infections are essential
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

El impacto de las infecciones carcinogénicas en la mortalidad por cáncer es desconocido.

MÉTODOS:

Se estimó la mortalidad por cáncer atribuible a infecciones carcinogénicas en España. Se aplicó la fracción atribuible de los agentes infecciosos clasificados como carcinogénicos a los datos sobre causas de muerte por cáncer anuales del período 2013-2017 según la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE-10).

RESULTADOS:

De 110.287 muertes por cáncer, se estimó que 9.115 (8,3%) fueron atribuibles a agentes infecciosos carcinogénicos en 2017. El número estimado de muertes en varones fue de 5.434 (59,6%). La mortalidad estimada por cáncer atribuible a infección por H. pylori representó el 48,3% y 4 agentes (H. pylori, VHC, VPH y VHB) registraron el 96,8% de todas las muertes por cáncer atribuible a infecciones carcinogénicas. La carga de mortalidad por cáncer atribuible a infecciones carcinogénicas en el período 2013-2017 en España fue del 8%, aproximadamente.

CONCLUSIONES:

Una de cada 12 muertes por cáncer son atribuibles a infecciones carcinogénicas en España. Las medidas de salud pública son esenciales para reducir el impacto de las infecciones carcinogénicas
