Abstract
PURPOSE: Even though Kurdistan, the western province of Iran, has a cancer surveillance system, a detailed analysis of incidence rate has not been yet performed. We describe Age Standardized Incidence Rates (ASRs) for esophageal cancer (EC) in Kurdistan Province of Iran in 2001-2015. METHODS: Incidence cases of EC were obtained from a population-based cancer registry. We obtained ASRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) per 100,000 populations for each calendar year group. RESULTS: Between 2001 and 2015, 1362 incidence cases with EC were reported to the cancer registry. Annual ASRs in 2006-2010 were more than the other years in both men and women, respectively. Most ASRs were reported among women in Divandarreh (18.95, 95% CI 14.76, 23.92), Saqez (12.75, 95% CI 10.73, 15.01), Sanandaj (8.84, 95% CI 7.64, 10.17), and Qorveh (8.19, 95% CI 6.54, 10.12), and among men in Divandarreh (19.38, 95% CI 15.38, 24.06), Saqez (13.64, 95% CI 11.49, 16.05), Sanandaj (8.70, 95% CI 7.56, 9.96), and Marivan (7.93, 95% CI 6.26, 9.88). CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that EC in Divandarreh, Saqez, and Sanandaj has the highest ASRs, and these areas are considered as high-risk areas for this disease in the Iranian province of Kurdistan. Therefore, to understand the reasons of these problems, a considerable work is needed.
