Abstract
Changes in statistics of malignant neoplasms of central nervous system excluding brain (ICD-10: C70, C72) in the Lower Silesia Region of Poland in the years 2006-2012
Highlights
The epidemiological data concerning malignant neoplasms of meninges and central nervous system parts other than brain in Poland are reported to many medical databases run by various institutions
Data on registered cases of malignant neoplasms of meninges (C70-C70.9 according to ICD-10) and of spinal cord, cranial nerves and parts of central nervous system other than brain (C72-C72.9 according to ICD-10) in the years 2006-2012, made available due to courtesy of the public healthcare insurance provider Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia in Lower Silesia region of Poland (NFZ), were analyzed
Comparable data on reported new cases of malignant neoplasms of meninges and of spinal cord, cranial nerves and parts of central nervous system other than brain in the years 2006-2012 in the Lower Silesia region of Poland were retrieved from the official Polish national neoplasms registry Krajowy Rejestr Nowotworow (KRN)
Summary
The epidemiological data concerning malignant neoplasms of meninges and central nervous system parts other than brain in Poland are reported to many medical databases run by various institutions. It is demanded from all Polish medical professionals that vast data on all cases of cancer are sent to the national neoplasms registry. The structure of the databases is mirroring the field of competences of the institution and allows retrieving data rather on medical procedures than on patients’ diagnoses. The data from different sources are highly incongruent and in result even interpreting the direction of changes is difficult [1]
