Premature mortality of gastrointestinal cancer in Iran: trends and projections 2001-2030.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present study was conducted to determine the trend and projection of premature mortality from gastrointestinal cancers (GI cancers) at national and subnational levels in Iran.

Methods

Employing the data obtained from Iranian Death Registry System (DRS) and population data from census, the mortality rates of GI cancers was calculated among 30-70 age groups. The trends of esophageal, colon and rectum, gallbladder, pancreases, stomach, and liver cancer premature mortalities were estimated and projected at the national and subnational levels from 2001 to 2030. Then, Spatio-temporal model was used to project spatial and temporal correlations.

Results

The overall mortality rate of GI cancers was higher in males than in females, indicating 6.1, 3.9 and 3.9% pe
