Cancer Incidence and Mortality Trends in Northeastern Ontario
Over 629,000 people reside in the catchment area for the Northeastern Ontario Regional Cancer Centre. Historically, the area was renowned for employment in mining, forestry and lumbering, agriculture, the railway, and pulp and paper. At present, it is known for mining; community, business, and perso...

description | Over 629,000 people reside in the catchment area for the Northeastern Ontario Regional Cancer Centre. Historically, the area was renowned for employment in mining, forestry and lumbering, agriculture, the railway, and pulp and paper. At present, it is known for mining; community, business, and personal services; trade; manufacturing; and construction. Comparison of cancer incidence and mortality trends for two decades (1971-1980 and 1981-1990) with those of Ontario has revealed statistically significant excesses, at the 5% level or better, of trachea, bronchus, and lung cancer cases (SIR=123 for 1971-1980 and 125 for 1981-1990) and deaths in men (SMR=116 and 125, respectively); for women, excesses were observed for trachea, bronchus and lung cancer case (SIR=114 and 118), and cervical cancer cases (SIR=142 and 115) and deaths (SMR=133 and 128). Enhanced recruitment strategies and early educational interventions are identified as priorities. À l'heure actuelle, on compte environ 629 000 personnes dans la région desservie par le Centre régional de cancérologie du Nord-Est de l'Ontario. Les principales sources d'emploi dans cette région ont toujours été l'industrie minière et forestière, l'agriculture, les chemins de fer et les pâtes et papiers. À l'heure actuelle, l'industrie minière, le secteur communautaire, les affaires, les services personnels, le commerce, la fabrication et la construction y jouent un rôle prédominant. L'examen des tendances sur la morbidité et la mortalité reliées au cancer pendant deux décennies (1971-1980 et 1981-1990), par rapport à la province de l'Ontario, a révélé un excédent significatif au plan statistique, de l'ordre de 5 % ou plus, des cas de cancer de la trachée, des bronches et des poumons (RIS=123 pour la période 1971-1980, et 125 pour la période de 1981-1990) et de décès chez les hommes (RMS=116 et 125, respectivement); chez les femmes, on a observé des excès des cas de cancer de la trachée, des bronches et des poumons (RIS=114 et 118) et de décès par suite d'un cancer de l'utérus (RIS=142 et 115) et de décès par suite d'un cancer du col de l'utérus (RMS=133 et 128). De meilleures méthodes de recrutement et des interventions précoces de formation sont jugées prioritaires. |
