To evaluate the effectiveness of mass screening for uterine cancer in Japan, we compared the changes in the age-adjusted rates of potential years of life lost (PYLL) due to uterine cancer between 1969 and 1972 to 1973 through 1977 between the high coverage-rate (intensively screened) areas and the comparable control areas. The percent reduction in the average age-adjusted rate of PYLL due to uterine cancer and the years of life saved per 100,000 females were greater in the high coverage-rate areas than in the control areas. These results suggested that mass screening programs for uterine cancer contribute to saving years of life.
为评估日本子宫癌大规模筛查的效果,我们比较了1969年至1972年与1973年至1977年间,高覆盖率(密集筛查)地区和可比对照地区因子宫癌导致的潜在寿命损失年数(PYLL)的年龄调整率变化。高覆盖率地区因子宫癌导致的平均年龄调整PYLL率的降低百分比以及每10万名女性挽救的生命年数均高于对照地区。这些结果表明,子宫癌大规模筛查计划有助于挽救生命年数。
