This article is designed to provide the medical community with an overview of the West Virginia Cancer Registry (WVCR), a population-based registry, which was established in 1993 with both federal and state funding. The WVCR is managed through the Bureau for Public Health's Division of Surveillance and Disease Control in the Office of Epidemiology and Health Promotion, and all data is confidential. The staff of the WVCR consists of a director, a cancer data supervisor, two abstractors, a secretary, and a voluntary, 13-member Cancer Advisory Committee. The initial findings of the WVCR have shown that for each 100,000 West Virginia women, 90.1 were discovered with invasive breast cancer in 1992, an increase from 86.8 in 1991. The invasive cervical cancer rate increased from 10.8 to 12.9 during this same time period. In addition, the age-adjusted death rate for cervical cancer rose from 3.6 cases per 100,000 women in 1991 to 3.8 in 1992. However, the age-adjusted death rate for breast cancer fell to 24.7 per 100,000 women in 1992, compared to 25.5 in 1991.
本文旨在向医学界概述西弗吉尼亚癌症登记处（WVCR），这是一个基于人群的登记处，于1993年在联邦和州资金支持下建立。WVCR由公共卫生局流行病学与健康促进办公室监测与疾病控制司管理，所有数据均保密。WVCR的工作人员包括一名主任、一名癌症数据主管、两名摘要员、一名秘书以及一个由13名成员组成的自愿性癌症咨询委员会。WVCR的初步研究结果显示，1992年每10万名西弗吉尼亚女性中，有90.1人被发现患有浸润性乳腺癌，较1991年的86.8人有所增加。同期，浸润性宫颈癌发病率从10.8上升至12.9。此外，宫颈癌的年龄调整死亡率从1991年的每10万名女性3.6例升至1992年的3.8例。然而，1992年乳腺癌的年龄调整死亡率降至每10万名女性24.7例，1991年为25.5例。
