Abstract

Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world, with a 9% net survival rate in 5 years. Although the pathophysiology understanding has improved, early detection options continue challenging the global Public Health. This article describes the temporally trend of incidence and mortality in Quito, Ecuador from 1985 to 2015, as well as the evolution of its diagnostic base.

Methodology: Using data of Population Based Cancer Registry of Quito, the standardized annual incidence and mortality rates were calculated by age according to sex. The analysis included the case distribution according to the diagnostic basis. To estimate the annual average percentage change (APC) Joinpoint regression analysis was performed.

Results: During the analysis period, the incidence rate decreased from 3.8 to 2.8 cases in men (CPAP: -1.1) and remained stable in women. The mortality rate was stable in both sexes. Over the time, the histological cases proportion verification has increased 109% in men and 76% in women.

Conclusions: An improvement in the quality of information recording is evident; however, the proportion of histological verification is still low at the regional level, underscoring the need to intensify prevention efforts.
