背景技术背景：确定和解决癌症幸存者的要求是目前NHS的一个高度优先事项，但鲜为人知的是癌症幸存者的人口在英国.METHODS：从癌症登记处在英格兰，北方爱尔兰，苏格兰和威尔士的数据进行了分析，提供有限的持续时间的患病率估计为2004年。对数线性回归模型用于扩展这些完整的患病率估计。从2000年到2004年的患病率趋势被用来预测2004年到2008年的完整患病率估计。结果：我们估计，在2008年底，英国共有200万癌症幸存者，占总人口的3%，65岁及以上人群中有八分之一。前列腺癌和女性乳腺癌最为普遍。癌症幸存者的数量每年以3%的速度增长。估计也提供了时间，因为diagnosis.CONCLUSION：这些估计是最先进的最新可用的，因此将是有用的法定和志愿部门组织负责规划和提供治疗和支持癌症幸存者在英国。英国癌症杂志（2009）101，541-547。doi：10.1038/sj.bjc.6605148 www.bjcancer.com在线发布2009年6月30日（C）2009年英国癌症研究
BACKGROUND: Identifying and addressing the requirements of cancer survivors is currently a high priority for the NHS, yet little is known about the population of cancer survivors in the United Kingdom.METHODS: Data from cancer registries in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales were analysed to provide limited-duration prevalence estimates for 2004. Log-linear regression models were used to extend these to complete prevalence estimates. Trends in prevalence from 2000 to 2004 were used to project complete prevalence estimates forward from 2004 to 2008.RESULTS: We estimated that in total, there were 2 million cancer survivors in the United Kingdom at the end of 2008, similar to 3% of the population overall and 1 in 8 of those aged 65 years and more. Prostate and female breast cancers were the most prevalent. The number of cancer survivors is increasing by similar to 3% each year. Estimates are also provided by time since diagnosis.CONCLUSION: These estimates are the most up-to-date available, and as such will be useful for statutory and voluntary sector organisations that are responsible for planning and providing treatment and support to cancer survivors in the United Kingdom.
