가성점액종 발병율 자료

충수암 전체 발병율에 대한 2015년 미국자료를 보면, 점액종을 의미하는 Mucinous adenocarcinoma의 비율로 추산 할 시 복막가성점액종의 발병율은 2000년 백만명 당 약 2명에서 2009년 백만명 당 약 3명 이상으로 증가하는 양상을 보인다.

Results

We identified 4765 patients with appendiceal cancer. The incidence of appendiceal cancer increased by 54 % from 2000 (0.63 per 100,000) to 2009 (0.97 per 100,000 population). Incidence rates increased across all tumor types, stages, age groups, and gender. The most common malignancies were mucinous adenocarcinoma (38 %), followed by carcinoids (28 %), adenocarcinoma-not otherwise specified (NOS) (27 %), and signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (7 %). Larger tumor size and older patient age were significantly associated with higher relative odds of distant disease at diagnosis (P < 0.0001). Patient and demographic characteristics were significantly associated with higher relative hazard of death (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Although appendiceal cancer is rare, the incidence increased significantly in the USA from 2000 to 2009. The cause of this trend is not obvious. We did not observe increases differentially associated with stage, histology, or demographic characteristics. Further investigation is needed to examine factors underlying this increase.
