Abstract

Aim: Determination of cancer incidence and mortality data for all countries is essential for cancer control. These data can affect public health and clinical service planning. In this study, we aimed to examine the variability of cancer deaths in Turkey in terms of age groups, gender, geographic region, and years according to the cancer types between 2009-2018.
Methods: In this epidemiological study, cancer-related mortality statistics data presented at the website of Turkey Statistical Institute (TSI) were used. Cancer-related deaths between 2009-2018 were evaluated in terms of ratio to total deaths, age groups, cancer types, geographical regions, and gender. Data were presented as percentages.
Results: Cancer-related deaths were observed to increase between 2009-2018. The highest cancer-related mortality rate was seen in the Marmara Region, while it was lowest in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. Cancer-related death rate was higher in males than females, and it was highest in the 65-74 years age range. The most common cause of death in males is lung cancer, and in females, breast cancer.
Conclusion: Cancer is responsible for 1/6 of all deaths in the world. Similarly, cancer-related deaths are responsible for approximately 1/5 of all deaths in our country. The risk of cancer in >60 years age group is higher in males than in females. In our country, all kinds of cancers, except female cancers, cause more deaths in males than females.

2009-2018 yılları arasında Türkiye'de kansere bağlı ölümlerin değerlendirilmesi: Bir epidemiyolojik çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Tüm ülkeler için kanser insidansı ve mortalite verilerinin belirlenmesi; kanserin kontrolü için esastır. Bu veriler halk sağlığına ve klinik hizmet planlamasına etki edebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada 2009-2018 yılları arasında Türkiye'de kansere bağlı ölümlerin yıllara göre değişimini, yaş gruplarına, cinsiyete ve coğrafi bölgelere göre farklılıklarını, kanser türlerine göre değişkenlikleri incelemeyi amaçladık.
Yöntemler: Çalışmada Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) web sitesinde sunulan kanser ilişkili ölüm istatistik verileri kullanıldı. 2009-2018 yılları arasında kansere bağlı ölümlerin coğrafi bölgelere göre toplam ölümlere oranı değerlendirildi. 2009-2018 yılları arasında yaş gruplarına ve cinsiyete göre kansere bağlı ölümler değerlendirildi. 2009-2018 yılları arasında kanser türlerine ve cinsiyete göre kansere bağlı ölümler değerlendirildi. Veriler yüzde olarak sunuldu. Çalışma epidemiyolojik olarak tasarlanmıştır.
Bulgular: Kansere bağlı ölümlerin 2009-2018 yılları arasında arttığı görülmüştür. Toplam ölümlere kıyasla kansere bağlı ölüm oranının en yüksek olduğu bölge Marmara Bölgesi iken en düşük olduğu bölge Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesidir. Tüm yaş gruplarında; erkekler, kadınlara göre kanser nedeniyle daha fazla ölmektedir. Kansere bağlı ölümler en yüksek seviyesine 65-74 yaş aralığında ulaşmaktadır. Erkeklerde ölüme en çok neden kanser türü akciğer, kadınlarda ise meme kanseridir.
Sonuç: Kanser dünyada meydana gelen tüm ölümlerin 1/6’sından sorumludur. Benzer şekilde ülkemizde kansere bağlı ölümler, tüm ölümlerin yaklaşık 1/5’inden sorumludur. 60 yaşın üzerinde erkeklerde kanser riski kadınlara oranla daha fazladır. Ülkemizde kadın kanserleri dışında her türlü kanserin erkeklerde daha fazla ölüme neden olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
