The aim of this paper is to provide cancer incidence, mortality and prevalence estimates and projections for the major cancers in the period 1970\u20142015 for the entire region of Sicily.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The estimates were computed by applying the MIAMOD method, a statistical back-calculation approach to derive incidence and prevalence figures starting from mortality and relative survival data.

The highest crude mortality rates were estimated for lung cancer in men (63.6 per 100,000) and breast cancer in women (30.8 per 100,000) and the lowest for skin melanoma (both sexes) and cancer of the cervix uteri. For colorectal, lung and stomach cancer and skin melanoma, all the indicators were higher in men than women. The prevalence figures in women were more than 9 times the incidence figures for breast cancer and more than 10 times the incidence figures for skin melanoma. The prevalence was twice the incidence for lung cancer in both sexes. The prevalence increased for all the considered cancers except cervical cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>According to our analyses in Sicily we expect about 14,000 new diagnoses and 5,500 deaths for the major cancer types in a year, while about 92,000 persons with a diagnosis of the considered cancers were alive in 2012. We expect an increase in cancer survival and contemporary aging of the population: both expectations will inflate the cancer prevalence, causing more demand for oncology facilities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/030089161309900316","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,27]],"date-time":"2018-02-27T04:40:26Z","timestamp":1519706426000},"page":"399-407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Estimates of cancer burden in Sicily"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Rosario","family":"Tumino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Registro Tumori della Provincia di Ragusa, Azienda Sanitaria Provinciale Ragusa, Ragusa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Capocaccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Nazionale di Epidemiologia, Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, Rome"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adele","family":"Traina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registro tumori della Mammella di Palermo, Palermo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anselmo","family":"Madeddu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registro tumori di Siracusa, Siracusa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Lia","family":"Contrino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registro tumori di Siracusa, Siracusa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"Zigon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SS di Epidemiologia Valutativa, Fondazione IRCCS \u201cIstituto Nazionale dei Tumori\u201d, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-030089161309900316","unstructured":"ISTAT: Popolazione residente 2011. http:\/\/demo.istat.it\/pop2011\/index.html (accessed 8 March 2013)."},{"key":"bibr2-030089161309900316","unstructured":"Eurostat: National accounts \u2013 GDP. http:\/\/epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu\/statistics_explained\/index.php\/National_accounts_%E2%80%93_GDP (accessed 8 March 2013)."},{"key":"bibr3-030089161309900316","unstructured":"Associazione Italiana Ospedalit\u00e0 Privata: http:\/\/www.aiopsicilia.it\/ (accessed 8 March 2013)."},{"key":"bibr4-030089161309900316","unstructured":"Regione Siciliana, Assessorato alla Salute. http:\/\/pti.regione.sicilia.it\/ (accessed 8 March 2013)."},{"key":"bibr5-030089161309900316","unstructured":"ContrinoL., MadedduA., RussoM., TisanoF.: La migrazione sanitaria oncologica dalla Provincia di Siracusa attraverso l'analisi dei DRGs.
