This study aimed to analyze cancer pattern among adolescents and young adults (AYA) in a tertiary care center in North India.
A retrospective study from January 2011 to December 2014 was undertaken on AYA cancer patients (aged 15-39 years).
Totally 1077 cases of AYA cancers were identified for analyzing the frequency and pattern of cancer distribution. The most common cancer was head and neck (32%) followed by breast (14.2%). The distribution pattern was observed to be varying in different age groups with lymphoma, leukemia, bone tumors, and sarcomas in adolescents while carcinomas being more frequent in young adults.
Cancer distribution patterns are distinct among AYA in terms of epidemiology and biology.
本研究旨在分析印度北部一家三级医疗中心青少年和青年成年人(AYA)的癌症模式。
对2011年1月至2014年12月期间的AYA癌症患者(年龄在15 - 39岁之间)进行回顾性研究。
共确定了1077例AYA癌症病例,用于分析癌症分布的频率和模式。最常见的癌症是头颈癌(32%),其次是乳腺癌(14.2%)。观察到不同年龄组的分布模式有所不同,青少年中淋巴瘤、白血病、骨肿瘤和肉瘤较为常见,而年轻成年人中癌症更为常见。
在流行病学和生物学方面,AYA中的癌症分布模式各不相同。
