Assessment the relationship between Testis Cancer incidence and mortality rate with human development index in the European countries in 2012

Testis Cancer (TC) is the most common cancer in 15-39 year-old men and with the white Caucasian race. This cancer consists of 0.7 percent of men's cancer all over the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Age-Standardised Incidence Rates (ASIR) and Age-Standardised Mortality Rates (ASMR) of TC with Human Development Index (HDI) and its components at the European countries in 2012. This study was an ecologic study in European countries for assessment the correlation between ASIR and ASMR with HDI and its details including: Life expectancy at birth, Mean years of schooling and Gross National Income (GNI) per capita. We use correlation bivariate method for assessment the correlation between SIR and SMR with HDI and its components. Data of study was analyzed by SPSS15statistical analysis software; the significance level of the tests was considered P<0.05. The results of the data investigation showed that the maximum ASIR of TC was observed respectively in the countries of Norway, Switzerland, and Denmark. Moreover findings showed the highest ASMR was in the countries of Hungary, Bulgaria and FYR Macedonia. The ASIR was positively correlated with HDI equal to 0.623( p <= 0.001), with Life expectancy at birth equal to 0.602( p <= 0.001), with the average years of schooling equal to 0.339( p= 0.032) and with country's Gross National Income ( GNI) per capita equal to 0.466( p= 0.002). The ASMR was negatively correlated with HDI equal to 0.537( p <= 0.001), life expectancy at birth equal t

Geographical distribution of incidence and mortality of breast cancer and their association with Human Development Index in Europe

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer malignancy and the important reason for cancer-related mortality in females. The aim of this study was to evaluate the geographical distribution of occurrence and mortality of BC and their association with Human Development Index (HDI) in Europe in 2012. Methods: This was an ecologic study to evaluate the relation between Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) and Age Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR) of BC with HDI, using data of GLOBOCAN project and the HDI report. Using SPSS18 statistical analysis software the data of the study was analyzed; the significance level of the tests was considered as P 0.05. Results: The highest ASIR of BC was observed in Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and the highest ASMR was found in the FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Belgium, respectively. A positive correlation was found between the ASIR of BC and HDI (r =0.611, p < 0.001), life expectancy in birth (r=0.706, p<0.001), average education years (r=0.038, p=0.815) and gross national income per capita (r=0.719, p<0.001). Moreover, there was negative correlation between the ASMR of BC and HDI (r=0.464, p=0.003), life expectancy at birth (r=0.416, p=0.008), average education years (r=0.277, p=0.083) and gross national income per capita (r=0.255, p=0.112). Moreover, it is expected that the number of incidence and mortality from BC is increased within 2012-2035 in European countries. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the ASIR of BC and HDI. Moreover, there is a negative correlation between ASMR of BC with HDI. Therefore, the results of this study indicate the importance of using HDI as factors affecting the ASIR and ASMR of BC
