Few studies have investigated incidence trends in the Philippines.
From the databases of the Manila Cancer Registry, cumulative cancer incidence rates were determined for the five most common cancers for both sexes combined. Using joinpoint analysis, incidence trends for 1983-2002 were estimated.
Among females, increasing trends were found for breast, 5% annual change, lung (0.5%) and colorectal (1.5%) cancers. Decreasing trends were found for cancers of the liver (-1.2%) and cervix (-1.9%). Among males, increasing trends were found for lung cancer (0.5%), whereas liver cancer rates have been decreasing (-1.0%). Colorectal cancer rates fluctuated.
Certain sites showed declining incidence trends, but incidence trends for lifestyle-related cancers continue to rise. The prevention of infection-related cancers should also receive priority, particularly by vaccination programmes.
鲜有研究调查过菲律宾的发病率趋势。
从马尼拉癌症登记处的数据库中，确定了男女两性最常见的五种癌症的累积癌症发病率。使用 joinpoint 分析，估计了 1983-2002 年的发病趋势。
在女性中，乳腺癌的发病率呈上升趋势，年变化率为 5%，肺癌（0.5%）和结直肠癌（1.5%）的发病率也呈上升趋势。肝癌（-1.2%）和宫颈癌（-1.9%）的发病率呈下降趋势。在男性中，肺癌的发病率呈上升趋势（0.5%），而肝癌的发病率呈下降趋势（-1.0%）。结直肠癌的发病率波动不定。
某些部位的发病率呈下降趋势，但与生活方式有关的癌症的发病率仍在上升。感染相关癌症的预防也应优先考虑，特别是通过疫苗接种计划。
