Cancer in the elderly in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Population ageing presents a challenge to oncological care due to the particularities of cancer treatment in this population. We evaluate cancer epidemiology, treatment and survival, in the Czech Republic by age groups. Data published by the Czech National Cancer Registry from the years 2006 to 2010 were used for this study. The following cancer types were evaluated: colorectal, pancreatic, head and neck, lung, skin melanoma, breast, gynaecological, prostate, kidney and stomach cancers. The following data were recorded and analysed: crude incidence by 5-year age group; dynamics of crude incidence rates in the age group 70 years; disease stage; percentage of patients treated by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy; and age standardised 1-year mortality and 5-year relative survival according to age group. Patients over age 70 accounted for 41% and 46%, respectively, of the cancer incidence and mortality of the whole population.
