International Comparisons of Cumulative Risk of Breast and Prostate Cancer, from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. VIII

Statistics and Cancer Control Division, Research Center for Cancer Prevention and Screening, National Cancer Center

Cumulative risk of breast (ICD-10: C50) and prostate cancer (C61) incidence to age 69 was calculated with data from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. VIII (1). Cumulative risk is defined as the probability that an individual will develop the disease in question during a certain age span, in the absence of other competing causes of death.

The comparisons of the cumulative risk of female breast cancer incidence among 22 registries (and ethnic groups) are shown in Fig. 1. SEER (Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results) blacks and whites in USA and European registries showed high breast cancer cumulative incidence, and East Asians living in their homeland showed low cumulative incidence. The cumulative incidence of Japanese immigrants in Los Angeles and Japanese and Chinese immigrants in Hawaii (USA) was higher than those of their homeland [Miyagi, Nagasaki and Osaka (Japan) and Shanghai (China)], and was similar with SEER blacks and whites (USA). No remarkable difference was observed among Korean and Chinese immigrants in Los Angels, Koreans in Seoul and Chinese in Shanghai.

Note: Data were downloaded from IARC CANCERMondial Statistical Information System (http://www-dep.iarc.fr/). Data of number of death and population for Vol. VIII were extracted from CI5I-VIII_September_2005.ZIP and tabulated by the authors of this article. The data of Korea-Seoul, Venetian Italy and the Netherlands were ‘original’ version, and the data of the other registries were ‘updated’ version. Responsibility for this presentation and interpretation lies with the authors of this article. LA: Los Angeles, SEER: Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results.

 
The comparisons of the cumulative risk of prostate cancer incidence among 22 registries (and ethnic groups) are shown in Fig. 2. SEER blacks in USA showed the highest and SEER whites in USA showed the second highest cumulative prostate cancer incidence. East Asian people living in their homeland had a lower cumulative incidence as compared with East Asian immigrants in USA, SEER blacks and whites (USA), and European people.
