  • Regional comparison of cancer incidence
    Obralić, Nermina
    Background. Due to specific war and post-war situation in Balkan region, differences in the number, type, development, biological course, treatment of malignant tumours and its outcome are possible. ... In order to perceive the situation realistically, it is necessary to gather continuously exact data about malignant tumours and compare them with the data from other European andworld countries.The aim of the study was to collect and analyse the data oncancer incidence in the region of Sarajevo city, which represents a symbol of difficult times in the recent past, and to compare it to the incidence in the neighbouring countries. Patients and methods. Data on all newly diagnosed cancer cases, permanent residents of Sarajevo Canton, in the years 1999 and 2000 were collected. Crude incidence rate has been calculated according to theyears observed, gender and localizations of the disease The data were compared to the cancer registries of Slovenia and Croatia and were observed inthe light of specific local situation. Results. The crude cancer incidence of all sites but skin was the highest in both years and by both genders in Croatia. The incidence of the most common tumours (lung and breast cancer) wassimilar in all three countries. The differences in the incidence between both genders in the Sarajevo canton were registered in laryngeal and urinary bladder cancer, as well as in bone and cartilage sarcoma. Cervical cancer had extremely high incidence and was high up on the incidence list in the Sarajevocanton, which correlates with the data in developing countries. The incidence of other tumours in the post-war period is reaching expected numbers. Conclusions. It is difficult to idenhfy whether the war and post-war stress, irregular and insufficient nutrition during and after the siege of thecity of Sarajevo or some other factor influenced the cancer incidence amongexposed population.
