To characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of breast cancer (BC) incidence in females in the area with the highest incidence rate (IR) of the country in 2005-2012.
The BC-IR was studied using mapping techniques, analysis of spatiotemporal clusters and analysis of spatial variations in temporal trends.
The overall BC-IR was 119.13/10 inhabitants. The annual BC-IRs were 17.7, 156.9, 213.3 and 232.9/10 inhabitants for women diagnosed at <40, 40-49, 50-64 and ≥65 years of age. This IR increased overall (by 4.113%/year) and for the four age groups (by 5.935, 3.833, 4.114 and 2.194%/year, respectively). In patients with locoregional and metastatic disease, the IRs were 93.6 and 7.4/10 inhabitants, increasing by 6.976 and 0.303%/year, respectively. Several spatiotemporal clusters and two spatial-variations in temporal trends were detected. The Lisbon region showed high IR clusters for most groups.
This study identified critical areas of high IR and increasing trends for female BC-IR, providing evidence of heterogeneities in this area.
描述2005 - 2012年该国乳腺癌发病率最高地区女性乳腺癌发病的时空模式。
采用绘图技术、时空聚类分析和时间趋势空间变异分析研究乳腺癌发病率。
乳腺癌总体发病率为119.13/10万居民。年龄<40岁、40 - 49岁、50 - 64岁和≥65岁女性的乳腺癌年发病率分别为17.7、156.9、213.3和232.9/10万居民。总体发病率上升(每年上升4.113%),四个年龄组发病率也上升(分别为每年5.935%、3.833%、4.114%和2.194%)。局部和转移性疾病患者的发病率分别为93.6和7.4/10万居民,分别每年上升6.976%和0.303%。检测到几个时空聚类和两个时间趋势的空间变异。里斯本地区大多数组呈现高发病率聚类。
本研究确定了女性乳腺癌高发病率和上升趋势的关键区域,提供了该地区异质性的证据。
