This document covers cancer diagnoses with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and tumours of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues (codes: C00-C43, C45-C80, D05 according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision) 2. The number of cancer patients, newly diagnosed in 2010-2012, was established based on the data from the Polish National Cancer Registry (KRN), supplemented by the data from the Polish National Health Fund's (NFZ) reports, however, our actions were not limited to simply merging the two above-mentioned sets of data. As to the KRN, we have excluded those patients who, despite being entered therein for the first time this year, were qualified as patients diagnosed earlier (so-called follow-up patients) based on medical treatment provided to them in the previous years. As to the NFZ records, we have excluded those patients who were entered in the NFZ database under different type of cancer than in the KRN database (precedence of KRN over NFZ database) and who, despite being entered therein for the first time this year, were qualified as patients diagnosed earlier (so-called follow-up patients) based on medical treatment provided to them in the previous years, as well as those whose medical records did not suggest any oncological treatment. Information on the clinical pathway (covering the period of 365 days from the first date of entry in the system, and including the information on reported procedures in compliance with ICD-9, reported chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment as well as information on patient's death) was also used to estimate the cancer stage for patients for whom it was not specified in the KRN database. 3. Such patient records were used to reclassify some part of the inpatient treatment reported along with D37–D48 diagnosis (relative to conservative or surgical treatment) to appropriate groups of cancer diagnoses. Part I Demographic and Epidemiological Aspects Population Breakdown In 2014, MazowieckieVoivodeship was inhabited by 5.3 million people, i.e. by 13.9% of all population of Poland (as at 31 December 2014). It was the largest Polish region in terms of population. In demographic sense, the population of MazowieckieVoivodeship was older than the Polish population (the share of people aged 65+ in MazowieckieVoivodeship constituted 15.8%, while the share of people aged 65+ in the entire population of Poland constituted 15.3%). Demographics of Mazovian Counties (poviats) 1. Among the Mazovian counties (poviats), the capital city of Warsaw had the largest number of inhabitants (1.7 million inhabitants, 33% of the entire region's population, as at 31 December 2014). The lowest number of people (32 thousand, 0.6% of the entire region's population) inhabited Łosice County. 2. As to the population ageing, the highest share of people aged 65 and over was observed in the following Mazovian counties: the capital city of Warsaw (18.6%), Lipsko (17.5%), SokołówPodlaski (17.3%) and Łosice (17.1%), while the lowest in: Wołomin (12.2%), Radom (12.5%), Ostrołęka (12.8%), Ostrołęka City (12.9%), Piaseczno (12.9%) and Legionowo (13%). 3 Cancer Incidence 1. In 2012, 23,605 new cancer cases were diagnosed in MazowieckieVoivodeship. This number was the highest in the entire country. In other words, there were 445 cancer cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which equals to the 5th highest number in Poland. 2. The most frequently diagnosed cancer types were the following: tracheal, bronchial and lung cancer (3,567 cases), breast cancer (3,022 cases), prostate cancer (2,343 cases), colon cancer (1,947 cases), kidney cancer (1,171 cases) and bladder cancer (1,105 cases). They constituted over 56% of diagnosed cancer cases in MazowieckieVoivodeship in 2012. Their share in Mazovian incidence did not differ from the national one. Deaths due to Cancers 1. Cancer was the second most frequent cause of death of the inhabitants of MazowieckieVoivodeship (as it was the case in other regions of Poland). In 2011-2013, it was responsible for 24.2% of deaths in MazowieckieVoivodeship (25.4% in the case of men and 22.8% in the case of women), which closely corresponded to the cancer death rates for Poland in general (24.5%, 26% and 22.8% respectively). The actual death rate of the inhabitants of MazowieckieVoivodeship due to cancer (245.7 per 100,000 people) was slightly higher than the national one (by 1.2%), the difference being greater for women (2.6%) than for men (0.4%). The surplus results partially from the age demographic breakdown for the region, since the age adjustment (SMR) allowed us to establish that the regional rates were lower than the national ones. The difference is 2.5% in general, 0.8% for women and 3.8% for men. 2. The most frequent cancer type causing death in MazowieckieVoivodeship was lung cancer (26.8%). The SMR for lung cancer was higher in MazowieckieVoivodeship than nationwide, and the highest percentage was recorded in the following counties: Sierpc, Płock and Płock City. The lowest SMR was observed in Łosice County, in Ostrołęka City County and in Garwolin County. 3. Breast cancer caused the death of 13.9% of women dying from any type of cancer in MazowieckieVoivodeship. Almost the same share of women (13.5%) died of breast cancer nationwide. The SMR value for the region was very close to the national value, and the SMR values for breast cancer in specific counties showed that the lives of the inhabitants of Żyrardów and Łosice counties were particularly endangered. The lowest SMR values were observed in the following counties: Żuromin, Lipsko and Ostrołęka. 4. In turn, cancers of the lower gastrointestinal tract were responsible for 11.5% of deaths of the people inhabiting MazowieckieVoivodeship and dying from cancer in 2011-2013. Their percentage was very similar to the national one (11.8%). The regional SMR value for cancers of the lower gastrointestinal tract was lower than national. The highest SMR for this type of cancer (higher by approx. 25% than national SMR) was observed in the following counties: Płońsk, Żyrardów and Grodzisk Mazowiecki. 5. Another type of cancer which caused a high number of deaths was prostate cancer (approx. 8.2% of deaths among men). The regional SMR for prostate cancer was close to the national SMR, which amounted to 8%. The highest SMR in MazowieckieVoivodeship was observed in the following counties: Białobrzegi, Zwoleń and Garwolin (higher by over 50% than the national SMR). More positive situation was observed in NowyDwór Mazowiecki County, Piaseczno County and Siedlce City County, where SMR values were lower by approx. 50% than national average SMR. 6. Bladder cancer was responsible for 3.4% of deaths due to any type of cancer in MazowieckieVoivodeship. The SMR value for this type of cancer was slightly lower for the analysed region than for Poland in general. The highest SMR values for bladder cancer (higher by nearly 50% than the national SMR) were recorded in the following counties: Gostynin, Żuromin and Przysucha. In turn, the lowest SMR values for bladder cancer (lower by over 50% than the national SMR) were observed in the following counties: Warsaw West, SokołówPodlaski and Siedlce. 4 Part II Status and Use of Resources: the Analysis Inpatient Healthcare 1 Hospitals Providing Oncological Treatment 1. In 2012, 806 hospitals provided oncological treatment, 103 of which were located in MazowieckieVoivodeship: 42 were situated in Warsaw, 6 in Radom and another 6 in Otwock County. 2. Oncology treatment in Poland is quite centralised: 98 healthcare providers provided oncological treatment to 80% of patients. 18 of them were seated in MazowieckieVoivodeship. 3. The highest number of patients was admitted to Maria Skłodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology in Warsaw (11.3 thousand, 28.4% of patients treated in the entire region). Another facility, Military Institute of Medicine, hospitalised 2.9 thousand patients (7.4% of overall number of patients treated in the region), and "Zdrowie" Medical Centre / Oncology Hospital in Wieliszew admitted 2.7 thousand patients (6.7% of all patients treated in the region). The group of healthcare providers who treated over 2 thousand cancer patients included also the Central Clinical Hospital of the MSWiA and the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases in Warsaw (2.15 thousand, i.e. 5.4% and 2.1 thousand, i.e. 5.3% respectively). Over a half of healthcare providers treating over 2% of patients regionwide (11 out of 19) were located in Warsaw. 4. 86% of patients hospitalised in MazowieckieVoivodeship originated from this region. Among patients inhabiting other regions and receiving treatment in MazowieckieVoivodeship, 1.1 thousand originated from Lublin Voivodeship, one thousand from PodlaskieVoivodeship and one thousand from ŁódzkieVoivodeship.
