Differences in the incidence and mortality of tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer between the Global Cancer Observatory 2022 and the Global Burden of Disease 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) 2022 and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 are two primary databases for assessing the global cancer burden. This study aimed to compare the incidence and mortality rates of tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer reported in these databases and to analyze the observed discrepancies.

Methods

Age-standardized rates (ASRs), including age-standardized incidence rates and age-standardized mortality rates for TBL cancer, were obtained from GLOBOCAN 2022 and GBD 2021 for the most recent available year. Differences in ASRs at the national level between the two databases were quantified using pairwise differences, calculated as the absolute difference in ASRs divided by the mean of the ASRs from both sources.
