肿瘤发生比率在85岁以前一般随年龄增长而增长,85岁以后肿瘤总的发病率降低,但有些肿瘤尤其消化道肿瘤仍然增加
Abstract
Introduction
In the U.S., from 2005 to 2009, nearly 8% of all cancers diagnosed and 15% of cancer deaths occurred in individuals aged 85 years and older (85+ age group). With the aging of the U.S. population, an analysis of incidence of cancer in the elderly population may provide information for clinical care and resource allocation.
Materials and Methods
Previously reported data were retrieved from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) 18 Registry for years 2000–2010 and Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) for years 2004–2008. Cancers included invasive cases only, except for non-malignant meningiomas, and rates were per 100,000.
Results
The age-specific cancer incidence rate (IR) increases with age until a decrease in the 85+ age group. IR for all cancers combined for this age group was 2,317 per 100,000. Statistically, males had significantly higher IR as compared to females [3,194 versus 1,911(p≤0.0001)]. Blacks had an IR similar to whites [2,255 versus 2,340 (p=0.12)]. Despite a drop in the overall IR in this oldest age group, IR for certain cancers continued to increase. Among these cancers gastrointestinal (GI) cancers like colorectal, pancreatic, and stomach had the highest incidence and mortality rates.
Conclusions
Our study contributes to measuring cancer burden in the oldest old population. Certain cancers including meningiomas the IR continue to rise with advancing age. Management of cancer in elderly is challenging and screening persons in the 85+ age group for frailty very thoroughly may help guide decisions of palliative versus aggressive therapies.
