The incidence and patterns of lung cancers in Sri Lanka from 2001 to 2010 : Analysis of national cancer registry data
© 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..
OBJECTIVES: Epidemiological studies carried out on lung cancer have shown varying incidence patterns in Asia. We aimed to examine the trends in lung cancer incidence and patterns in Sri Lanka.
METHODS: All newly diagnosed lung cancer patients in Sri Lanka during 2001-2010 included in the National Cancer Registry were analysed. Trends in incidence were analysed using the Joinpoint regression software.
RESULTS: A total of 8482 lung cancer patients (males = 6831, 80.5%, mean age: 60.2 years) were analysed. The WHO age-standardised incidence rate (ASR) has increased from 3.77 per 100,000 in 2001 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 3.47-4.07) to 5.74 per 100,000 in 2010 (95% CI: 5.38-6.09; a 1.52-fold increase (p < 0.05 for trend), with an estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of 5.4 (95% CI: 3.9-7.0). The proportional increase in incidence was higher for females [ASR: 1.2 to 2.3, EAPC = 6.8(95% CI: 4.0-9.7)] than males [ASR: 6.6 to 9.55, EAPC = 5.2(95% CI: 3.8-6.6)] and with similar patterns.
CONCLUSIONS: In Sri Lanka, the incidence of lung cancer has shown as increasing trend with a greater proportional rise in females. Although the observed trends could be partly due to better reporting, the greater increase in females who are generally non-smokers is intriguing. Further studies are required to identify reasons for observed incidence trends in lung cancer in Sri Lanka.
