Objective: To characterise the cases of cancer treated at the Cancer Unit of the Villavicencio Departmental Hospital (Colombia).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on routine data to describe the demographic characteristics of all newly diagnosed cancer cases (both in situ and invasive) collected in the hospital-based registry through active search for the period 2006-2008. In- depth analyses were performed for four major cancer sites (cervix uteri, breast, stomach, prostate), and childhood cancers. Comparisons between groups were made using frequencies and measurements of central tendency to summarise the numerical and categorical variables, as well as Chi-squared tests.
Results: Of a total of 1,617 new cancer cases were analysed, 95.7% of which were invasive. The mean age was 57 years (SD 18 years), 68.7% were residents of Villavicencio. The most common locations were, in descending order: skin (19.2%), cervix uteri (14.5%), breast (10.5%), stomach (8%), and prostate (5.3%). The most common diagnostic groups in children were: leukaemia, lymphoma, and other malignant epithelial neoplasms. Of the 8.2% of patients who died at the time of data collection, 20.5% were due to stomach cancer.
Conclusions: Most cancer cases were in women, and one-third were in individuals with no health insurance cover. The most frequently occurring cancers were skin and prostate for males, and cervical and breast cancer for females, with most cancers being diagnosed in locally advanced stages. Leukaemia was the most common childhood cancer. This hospital-based cancer registry provides important information for the description of the behaviour of cancer in the local setting.
