每年弗吉尼亚州中央癌症登记处（VACCR）报告约40,000例癌症发病病例（约占美国癌症病例的3%）。我们的目的是对VACCR所报告的癌症发病情况进行首次全面描述。
数据来自VACCR中弗吉尼亚州确诊的癌症发病病例。分析侧重于2007年的数据。将弗吉尼亚州患者的癌症发病率与美国普通癌症人群进行了比较。
2007年，弗吉尼亚州97.5%的癌症患者为男性。新确诊的患者中约78.5%为白人，19.0%为黑人，2.5%为其他种族。确诊时的中位年龄为66岁。弗吉尼亚州癌症患者的地理分布与弗吉尼亚州使用者的分布一致。弗吉尼亚州和美国男性癌症人群中最常见的癌症诊断情况相似。弗吉尼亚州癌症患者中最常确诊的五种癌症是：前列腺癌（31.8%）、肺癌/支气管癌（18.8%）、结肠癌/直肠癌（8.6%）、膀胱癌（3.6%）和皮肤黑色素瘤（3.4%）。与美国男性癌症人群相比，弗吉尼亚州患者在三种最常见的癌症——肺癌/支气管癌、结肠癌/直肠癌和前列腺癌——的疾病早期就被确诊。
登记数据表明，2007年弗吉尼亚州的癌症发病情况大致与美国男性中的观察情况相符。
Approximately 40,000 incident cancer cases are reported in VA Central Cancer Registry (VACCR) annually (~3% of United States cancer cases). Our objective was to provide the first comprehensive description of cancer incidence as reported in VACCR. Data were obtained from VACCR for incident cancers diagnosed in VA. Analyses focused on 2007 data. Cancer incidence among VA patients was compared to the general U.S. cancer population. In 2007, 97.5% of VA cancers were diagnosed among men. Approximately 78.5% of newly diagnosed patients were White, 19.0% Black, and 2.5% were another race. Median age at diagnosis was 66 years. The geographic distribution of cancer patients in VA aligns that of VA users. The most commonly diagnosed cancers were similar between VA and the U.S. male cancer population. The five most frequently diagnosed cancers among VA cancer patients were: prostate (31.8%), lung/bronchus (18.8%), colon/rectum (8.6%), urinary bladder (3.6%), and skin melanomas (3.4%). VA patients were diagnosed at an earlier stage of disease for the three most commonly diagnosed cancers – lung/bronchus, colon/rectum, and prostate – compared to the U.S. male cancer population. Registry data indicate that incident cancers in VA in 2007 approximately mirrored those observed among U.S. men.
