Cancer survival in Incheon, Republic of Korea, 1997-2001

Abstract:
The Incheon cancer registry was established in 1997. Cancer is not a notifiable disease, hence registration of cases is done by active methods. The registry contributed survival data for 42 cancer sites or types registered during 1997-2001. The follow-up information has been obtained predominantly by passive methods, with median follow-up ranging between 1-44 months for various cancers. The proportion with histologically verified diagnosis for different cancers ranged between 16-100%; death certificates only (DCOs) comprised 0-51%; 49-100% of total registered cases were included for the survival analysis. The top-ranking cancers on 5-year age-standardized relative survival rates were testis (98%), thyroid (90%), ureter (87%), adrenal gland (86%), nonmelanoma skin (83%), corpus uteri (82%), Hodgkin lymphoma (81%), breast and cervix (74%). Five-year relative survival by age group showed a decreasing trend with increasing age groups for cancers of the stomach, small intestine, colon, gall bladder, larynx, lung, breast, cervix and ovary, and was fluctuating for other cancers.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
