| Summary: | Amaç:The aim of the
present study was to determine the changes in the incidence of cancer in a city
of Turkey, which is in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics- 2
(NUTS-2) region, and to perform survival analysis on these patients.Gereç ve Yöntem:The present study is
a retrospective cohort study. The data of the patients were obtained from the
Ministry of Health's Cancer Registry System. The data of 977 cancer cases
diagnosed in 2013-2015 were examined. Bulgular:28.7% of the patients
died during the follow-up period. 30% of all cancers originated from the
digestive system. While the cancers of lung, stomach, colon, prostate and skin
are the mostly seen in the male patients, the cancers of breast, thyroid and
skin are the mostly seen in the female patients. The incidence of cancer is
increasing over the years and the cancer incidence rate is higher in men. The
mean follow-up period was 388 days in died patients and 1541 days in alive
patients. The risk of death is increasing in the patients not undergoing
surgery (RR = 2.779, HR = 3.048). In addition, the risk of death is decreasing
in the patients not receiving chemotherapy (RR = 0.656, HR = 0.340). The risk
of death is increasing in the patients with advanced age and the male patients.Sonuç:The incidence of
cancer is increasing. It is recommended to conduct longer-term and more
broad-based studies evaluating the treatment efficacy and the effects of
treatment types on survival.
