Purpose: Cancer is an important public health problem in Turkey and in the world. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of cancer in the elderly population over the years, to evaluate the direction of change in cancer incidence, and to investigate the distribution of cancer types in the elderly population and their effect on survival.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 2019. The study was conducted on the data of 596 cancer patients over 65 years of age collected between 2013 and 2016. Pearson’s chi-square test, Cox regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used for data analysis.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 74 years. (394) 66.1% of the patients were male and (202) 33.9% were female. 47.7% (284) of the patients died during the follow-up period. Cancers were most commonly originated from the gastrointestinal tract. Respiratory cancers had the highest rate of mortality during the follow-up period. Cancer incidence had an increasing trend during the follow-up period. It was found that surgical treatment significantly contributed to survival and reduced mortality risk by 2.8 fold. Chemotherapy was also found to reduce mortality risk by 1.2 fold.
Conclusion: The incidence of cancer is increasing in the elderly population. Gastrointestinal cancers are the most common cancers in the elderly population, but the highest rate of mortality is observed in respiratory cancers. It can be recommended that cancer screening should be effectively performed and disseminating healthy aging strategies in the elderly population.

Amaç: Kanser ülkemizde ve dünyada önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu çalışma ile yaşlı nüfusta kanser vakalarının yıllara göre insidansının hesaplanması, değişim yönünün değerlendirilmesi ve kanser türlerinin yaşlı nüfustaki dağılımı ve sağkalım üstünde etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 2019 yılında yapılmıştır. Çalışma 2013-2016 yılları arasında 65 yaş üstü 596 kanser hastasının verileri üstünde yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Pearson Ki-kare testi, Cox regresyon analizi ve Kaplan-Meier yaşam analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Hastaların %66,1’i (394) erkek, %33,9’u (202) kadındır, yaş ortalaması 74’dür. Hastaların %47,7’si (284) takip süresi içinde ölmüştür. Kanserlerin en çok köken aldığı doku sindirim sistemi 200 (%33,6), takip süresi içinde ölümün en çok görüldüğü kanser türü solunum sistemi 44 (%59,5 kanserleridir. Kanser insidansı çalışma süresi boyunca artış trendindedir. Cerrahi tedavinin sağkalım süresine anlamlı olarak katkı yaptığı, ölüm riskini 2,8 kat azalttığı bulunmuştur. Kemoterapi tedavisinin de ölüm riskini 1,2 kat azalttığı bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Yaşlılarda kanser insidansı artmaktadır. Yaşlılarda en çok sindirim sistemi kanserleri görülürken, ölümün en fazla olduğu kanser türü solunum sistemi kanserleridir. Yaşlılarda kanser taramalarının etkin biçimde yapılması ve sağlıklı yaşlanma stratejilerinin yaygınlaştırılması önerilebilir.
