The aim of this study was to report nationwide cancer statistics in Korea, including incidence, mortality, survival, and prevalence, and their trends.
Incidence data from 1993 to 2012 were obtained from the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database, and vital status was followed through December 31, 2013. Mortality data from 1983 to 2012 were obtained from Statistics Korea. Crude and age-standardized rates for incidence, mortality, and prevalence, and relative survival were calculated.
A total of 224,177 cancer cases and 73,759 cancer deaths were reported in 2012, and there were 1,234,879 prevalent cases identified in Korea as of January 1, 2013. Over the past 14 years (1999-2012), overall incidence rates have increased by 3.3% per year. The incidence rates of liver and cervical cancers have decreased, while those of thyroid, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers have increased. Notably, incidence of thyroid cancer increased by 22.3% per year in both sexes and has been the most common cancer since 2009. The mortality for all cancers combined decreased by 2.7% per year from 2002 to 2012. Five-year relative survival rates of patients diagnosed in the last 5 years (2008-2012) have improved by 26.9% compared with those from 1993 to1995.
Overall cancer mortality rates have declined since 2002 in Korea, while incidence has increased and survival has improved.
本研究旨在报告韩国全国范围内的癌症统计数据，包括发病率、死亡率、生存率和患病率及其趋势。
1993年至2012年的发病数据来自韩国国家癌症发病数据库，并跟踪至2013年12月31日的生命状态。1983年至2012年的死亡率数据来自韩国统计局。计算了发病率、死亡率和患病率的粗率和年龄标准化率以及相对生存率。
2012年共报告224,177例癌症病例和73,759例癌症死亡，截至2013年1月1日，韩国有1,234,879例现患病例。在过去14年（1999 - 2012年）中，总体发病率每年增长3.3%。肝癌和宫颈癌的发病率下降，而甲状腺癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌和结直肠癌的发病率上升。值得注意的是，甲状腺癌的发病率在男女两性中每年增长22.3%，自2009年以来一直是最常见的癌症。从2002年到2012年，所有癌症合并死亡率每年下降2.7%。与1993年至1995年相比，最近5年（2008 - 2012年）诊断的患者的五年相对生存率提高了26.9%。
自2002年以来，韩国总体癌症死亡率下降，而发病率上升，生存率提高。
