20.500.12556/DiRROS-19003 Cancer burden in Slovenia with the time trends analysis Background The aim of our study was to describe cancer burden and time trends of all cancers combined, the most frequent as well as the rare cancers in Slovenia. Patients and methods The principal data source was the population-based Cancer Registry of Republic of Slovenia. The cancer burden is presented by incidence and prevalence for the period 1950%2013 and by mortality for years 1985%2013. The time trends were characterized in terms of an average annual percent change estimated by the log-linear joinpoint regression. The Dyba-Hakulinen method was used for estimation of incidence in 2016 and the projections of cancer incidence for the year 2025 were calculated applying the Globocan projection software. Results In recent years, near 14,000 Slovenes were diagnosed with cancer per year and just over 6,000 died; more than 94,000 people who were ever diagnosed with cancer are currently living among us. The total burden of cancer is dominated by five most common cancer sites: skin (non-melanoma), colon and rectum, lung, breast and prostate, together representing almost 60% of all new cancer cases. On average the incidence of common cancers in Slovenia is increasing for 3.0% per year in last decade, but the incidence of rare cancers is stable. Conclusions Because cancer occurs more among the elderly, and additionally more numerous post-war generation is entering this age group, it is expected that the burden of this disease will be growing further, even if the level of risk factors remains the same as today. cancer burden cancer registry incidence prevalence breme raka register raka incidenca prevalenca true false true Association of Radiology and Oncology Ljubljana Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2024-05-24 14:18:58 2024-05-24 14:18:59 2024-05-25 03:36:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2017 0 0 str. 47-55, V no. 1 Vol. 51 Mar. 2017 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2017-03-01 614.2 1318-2099 10.1515/raon-2017-0008 2634363 https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/raon.2017.51.issue-1/raon-2017-0008/raon-2017-0008.xml?format=INT 1 cd50ae23-19c7-11ef-9c9e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26066 RAZ_Zadnik_Vesna_2017.pdf RAZ_Zadnik_Vesna_2017.pdf 1 9C2D56EB71F43E0BD4BB34BE1AC5149C 935c664ff9d67a426b3cfe13fc3c4a9406b8f31f9ecf606e7829e67e6470ca8a f785ac76-19c7-11ef-9c9e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26067 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
