The Korean National Cancer Screening Survey (KNCSS) is a continuous nationwide survey implemented by the National Cancer Center in Korea since 2004. The purpose of the present study was to report trends in cancer screening rates for the five major cancers (stomach, liver, colorectal, breast, and cervix uteri) in Korean men and women.
The study used KNCSS data collected between 2004 and 2010. The survey was conducted on Korean men aged 40-74 years and Korean women aged 30-74 years with no history of cancer diagnosis. The annual percentage change and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were used to examine changes in annual screening rates.
Screening rates with recommendation increased by 4.4% annually for stomach cancer, 1.5% for liver cancer, 2.8% per year for colorectal cancer, 4.5% for breast cancer, and 1.2% for cervix uteri cancer. The increasing trend in cancer screening rates, with the exception of liver cancer, was significant.
Cancer screening rates have increased consistently from 2004 to 2010 among Korean men and women. Stomach and breast cancer screening rates in particular have increased markedly.
韩国国家癌症筛查调查(KNCSS)是韩国国家癌症中心自 2004 年以来实施的一项连续的全国性调查。本研究的目的是报告韩国男性和女性五种主要癌症(胃癌、肝癌、结直肠癌、乳腺癌和宫颈癌)的癌症筛查率趋势。
本研究使用了 2004 年至 2010 年期间收集的 KNCSS 数据。该调查针对年龄在 40-74 岁的韩国男性和年龄在 30-74 岁且无癌症诊断史的韩国女性进行。使用年度百分比变化及其相应的 95%置信区间来检查年度筛查率的变化。
推荐的胃癌筛查率每年增加 4.4%,肝癌筛查率每年增加 1.5%,结直肠癌筛查率每年增加 2.8%,乳腺癌筛查率每年增加 4.5%,宫颈癌筛查率每年增加 1.2%。除肝癌外,癌症筛查率呈上升趋势,且具有统计学意义。
从 2004 年到 2010 年,韩国男性和女性的癌症筛查率持续上升。特别是胃癌和乳腺癌的筛查率显著增加。
