Comparing spatial patterns of 11 common cancers in Mainland China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A stronger spatial clustering of cancer burden indicates stronger environmental and human behavioral effects. However, which common cancers in China have stronger spatial clustering and knowledge gaps regarding the environmental and human behavioral effects have yet to be investigated. This study aimed to compare the spatial clustering degree and hotspot patterns of 11 common cancers in mainland China and discuss the potential environmental and behavioral risks underlying the patterns.

Methods

Cancer incidence data recorded at 339 registries in 2014 was obtained from the "China Cancer Registry Annual Report 2017". We calculated the spatial clustering degree of the common cancers using the global Moran's Index and identified the hotspot patterns using the hotspot a
