Lung Cancer Incidence in the Czech Republic: A Time-Trend Study

Original language description

Background: Analysis of cancer incidence trends is one of the prerequisites for cancer prevention. It is possible to set up priorities and assess current development of morbidity. Methods: AII lung cancer incidences in the Moravia region of the Czech Republic (4,000,000 inhabi-tants) in the years 1984-1998 have been assessed con-cerning incidence, anatomical subsites, stage, and mor-phology. Age and sex distribution have been taken into consideration. Results: There has been a continuous in-crease in the incidence of lung cancer in females and a mild decrease in males. In both sexes the most affected anatomical subsites were upper and lower lobe of the lung. Stage III and IV predominated. Main morphological type was squamous cell carcinoma in males (39.3%) and in females (22.2%), the second most frequent type in males was small cell carcinoma (13.6%) and in females adenocarcinoma (21.8%). The highest incidence was ob-served in the age group of 55-75 in males and 60-80 in females. Concl

Incidence karcinomu plic v České republice: longitudinální studie

Czech description

Epidemiologie rakoviny plic a její prevence patří k nejzávažnějším zdravotním problémům v ČR. Výskyt tohoto onemocnění je jedním z nejvyšších na světě, zejména u mužů, u žen se pak výskyt trvale zvyšuje. Primární prevence je dostupná, nicméně není snadnéji implementovat, zvláště 'nekouření'. Sekundární prevence dostupná není z důvodu nedostatku vhodných screening testů.
