Abstract:

Objective:

To estimate the disease burden of cancer in the affiliate population of the Mexican Social Security Institute (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, IMSS) in 2010 by delegation.

Materials and methods:

The Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to premature mortality and Years Lived with Disability/Disease (YLD) for 21 specific cancers and a subgroup of other malignant neoplasms were calculated based on the methodology of the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) for each of the 35 delegations of the IMSS.

Results:

In 2010, cancer represented the fifth overall leading cause of disease burden in IMSS affiliates (16.72 DALYs/1000 affiliates). A total of 75% of the cancer disease burden in each delegation is due to ten specific cancers, particularly breast cancer, which ranks first in 82% of the delegations. Prostate cancer; tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancers; leukemia, and colorectal and stomach cancers occupy the second to fourth positions in each delegation. With the exception of breast and prostate cancer, for which the contribution of YLD to the DALYs was higher than 50%, the greatest contribution to the DALYs of the other cancers was premature mortality, which accounted for more than 90% of the DALYs in some cases.

Conclusion:

The results obtained in this study allow for the identification of intervention priorities with regard to cancer at the institutional level and also for the focus at the delegation level to be placed on cancers ranking in the top positions for disease burden.

Resumen:

Objetivo:

Estimar, por delegación, la carga de enfermedad debida al cáncer en la población derechohabiente del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) para el año 2010.

Material y métodos:

Se calcularon los años de vida perdidos ajustados por discapacidad (AVISA), los años perdidos por muerte prematura (APMP) y los años vividos con discapacidad (AVD) para 21 cánceres específicos y un subgrupo de otras neoplasias malignas, con base en la metodología del Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) para cada una de las 35 delegaciones en las que se divide el IMSS al interior del país.

Resultados:

En el año 2010, el cáncer representó la quinta causa de carga de enfermedad en derechohabientes del IMSS (16.72 AVISA/1000 derechohabientes). El 75% de la carga de enfermedad por cáncer en cada delegación se debe a diez cánceres específicos entre los que destaca el cáncer de mama, que ocupa el primer lugar de importancia en 82% de las delegaciones. Los cánceres de próstata, tráquea, bronquios y pulmón, leucemias, de colon y recto, así como el de estómago, se ubican entre las segundas y cuartas posiciones en cada delegación. Con excepción del cáncer de mama y de próstata, cuya contribución de los AVD a los AVISA fue superior a 50%, en los demás cánceres la mayor contribución fue debida a la mortalidad prematura, en algunos superior a 90% de los AVISA.

Conclusión:

Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio permiten identificar las prioridades de intervención en materia de cáncer a nivel institucional y focalizarlas a nivel delegacional para los cánceres que ocupan los primeros lugares de carga de enfermedad.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide; 8.2 million of the deaths that occurred during 2012 were attributed to cancer and included 4.66 million men and 3.54 million women. The main types of cancer are lung (1.59 million deaths), liver (740 373 deaths), stomach (733 499 deaths), colorectal (723 913 deaths), breast (536 521 deaths), and esophageal cancer (405 s803 deaths). More than 60% of all new cases that arise annually in the world occur in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. These regions represent 70% of all cancer deaths in the world, and it is expected that the number of annual cases will increase from 14 million in 2012 to 22 million in the next two decades.11.

In recent decades, there has been a historic change in the evolution of the health status of the population, with a decrease in mortality in older age groups.33.

Several factors have contributed to this situation, such as the control of most communicable diseases, extension of preventive and therapeutic interventions to large population sectors, progressive increase in life expectancy (LE), and the consequent aging of the population.44.

In Mexico, according to the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), cancer is the third leading cause of death, and an estimated 128 000 new cases are detected each year (Health Secretariat, Sub-secretariat for Prevention and Health Promotion [Subsecretaría de Prevención y Promoción de la Salud, SPPS]).66.

If the projections made by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, INEGI) are met, the life expectancy at birth of the Mexican population will be 75.7 and 77.0 by the years 2020 and 2030, respectively,77.

which may increase the absolute number of people who develop a malignant tumor. Despite therapeutic advances, cancer survival does not guarantee that the patients who suffer from it will have good quality of life because various disabilities can occur depending on the type of cancer.88.

The Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) is a summary measure that takes into account the frequency and age of death and the aftermath of the disease to determine a better estimate of the burden of disease.

This study describes the burden of cancers in the population of affiliates of the Mexican Social Security Institute (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, IMSS).

Materials and methods

Calculation of the DALYs was performed following the methodological principles outlined in the National Burden of Disease Studies: A Practical Guide for each of the 35 delegations into which the institution divides the country.1010. Mathers CD, Vos T, Lopez AD, Salomon J, Ezzati M. National Burden of Disease Studies: A Practical Guide. Global Program on Evidence for Health Policy. 2001. Geneva: World Health Organization, 2001.

The DALYs is the sum of years of life lost (YLL) due to premature mortality and years lived with disability (YLD). In this calculation, the criteria established by the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD Study), i.e., the social value of time lived to different ages and a discount rate of 3%, were applied.

The steps for calculating the DALYs can be summarized as follows: estimation of overall mortality by age, sex, and life expectancy; selection of the list of diseases; estimation of age-sex specific deaths and correction of misclassification of deaths; choice of the information source and the parameters that best describe the disability caused by the studied diseases; modeling the diseases using the DISMOD program; and calculation of the YLL, YLD, and DALYs.

Estimation of overall age-sex mortality and life expectancy

The life expectancy by delegation and overall mortality were calculated using information on deaths among affiliates registered in the INEGI database1111. Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (Inegi) [Sitio de internet]. Registros Administrativos: Mortalidad [accessed August 20, 2015].

The sources cited consider information from 2010. The IMSS divides the states of Mexico, Veracruz, and the Federal District into two delegations each; this geographical division is not included in the INEGI mortality database; therefore, it was necessary to consider the deaths per municipality classified according to the area covered by each delegation.

Selection of the disease list

Malignant neoplasms that correspond to the GBD IIA group were divided into subgroups including IIA1-IIA2, diseases corresponding to mouth, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal cancers (10th ICD revision, C00-C14); IIA3, cancer of the esophagus (C15); IIA4, stomach cancer (C16); IIA5, colorectal cancer (C18-C21); IIA6, liver cancer (C22); IIA7, cancer of the gallbladder and biliary tract (C23-C24); IIA8, pancreatic tumors (C25); IIA9, cancer of the larynx (C32); IIA10, cancer of the trachea, bronchia, and lungs (C33-C34); IIA11-IIA12, malignant melanoma and other skin tumors (C43-C44); IIA13, malignant breast tumors (C50); IIA14, cancer of the cervix (C53); IIA15, cancer of the uterus (C54); IIA16, cancer of the ovaries (C56); IIA17, cancer of the prostate (C61); IIA19, malignant tumors of the kidney and other urinary organs (C64-C66, C68); IIA20, malignant bladder tumors (C67); IIA21, cancer of the brain and nervous system (C70-C72); IIA24 and IIA23, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (C81-C85, C96); IIA25, multiple myeloma (C88-C90); IIA26, leukemia (C91-C95); and IIA18, IIA27, and IIA22, consisting of other malignant neoplasms (C17, C30-C31, C37-C38, C40-C41, C45-C49, C51-C52, C57- C60, C62, except C63 C63.9, C69, C73, C74-C75, C77-C79, C97, C26, and C39).

Estimation of age and sex-specific deaths and correction for misclassification of deaths

The underreporting of deaths was corrected by delegation, age, and sex groups. Infant mortality was adjusted according to the estimations performed by Aguirre,1414. Aguirre A, Vela Peón F. La mortalidad infantil en México, 2010. Papeles de Población [en línea] 2012;18(73):1-15 [accessed August 20, 2015] Available at: http://agricola-www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=11224638003 ISSN 1405-7425.
http://agricola-www.redalyc.org/articulo...
who used the method of Brass, while in the group of subjects over four years old, the generalized method was used in combination with an analysis of the consistency of the deaths reported in the IMSS Mortality System (SISMOR) and by the INEGI. Both methods are validated, and their use is recommended in the GBD Study.1010. Mathers CD, Vos T, Lopez AD, Salomon J, Ezzati M. National Burden of Disease Studies: A Practical Guide. Global Program on Evidence for Health Policy. 2001. Geneva: World Health Organization, 2001. The corrected death values were redistributed by delegation, cause, age, and sex to calculate the YLL and also used as one of the input parameters for DISMOD II*Declaration of conflict of interests. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interests. to model all subgroups of malignant neoplasms and estimate the incidence, age of onset, and duration of the disease, which combined with the weight of disability, are the basis for calculating the YLD.

Choosing the information source and parameters that best describe the disability caused by the diseases studied

In addition, mortality, incidence (first-time visits to IMSS specialty units), and prevalence (data from the National Cancer Registry for the Hispanic population in the United States) were selected as input parameters for the model. For malignant breast tumors (IIA13) and other malignant neoplasms (IIA18, IIA22, and IIA27) remission according to the criteria of a group of clinical experts from the Institute was used, and in the case of IIA13 only, new cases reported by the Unified Automated System for Epidemiological Surveillance (Sistema Único Automatizado para la Vigilancia Epidemiológica, SUAVE) were used to calculate the incidence. All parameters used for modeling in DISMOD were disaggregated by delegation, age, and sex.

Modeling the diseases using the DISMOD program

The disease duration and incidence in all subgroups were estimated; therefore, they were consistent with the natural history of the disease and the particularities of each delegation in terms of risk factors, lifestyles, and environmental and socioeconomic conditions.

A factor of 0.484 was used for weighting of disability1515. Salomon JA, Vos T, Hogan DR, Gagnon M, Naghavi M, Mokdad A, et al. Common values in assessing health outcomes from disease and injury: disability weights measurement study for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010. Lancet 2012;380(9859):2129-2143. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61680-8.
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61...
for cancers of the mouth, nasopharynx, and oropharynx; esophagus; liver; gall bladder and biliary tract; pancreas; larynx; trachea, bronchia, and lung; ovary; kidney and other urinary organs; bladder; and brain and nervous system. This weighting assumes that disability caused by these cancers limits the patient's ability to perform activities in two or more of the following areas: recreation, education, procreation, and occupation.1616. Murray CJ. Quantifying the burden of disease: the technical basis for disability-adjusted life years. Bull World Health Organ 1994;72(3):429-445.

For malignant stomach, colon, rectal, breast, cervical, and uterine cancers; Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin lymphoma; multiple myeloma; leukemia; and other malignant neoplasms, the weighting factor was 0.294. This value considers limitations in the ability to perform most activities in one of the following areas: recreation, education, procreation, and occupation.

Calculation of the YLL due to premature mortality, YLD, and DALYs

The YLL, YLD, and DALYs were calculated by age and sex for each delegation for each of the diseases studied using the previously described procedures and with the support of tools developed by the WHO. The YLL values were calculated from the table of standard Western life as recommended in the National Burden of Disease Studies: A Practical Guide.1010. Mathers CD, Vos T, Lopez AD, Salomon J, Ezzati M. National Burden of Disease Studies: A Practical Guide. Global Program on Evidence for Health Policy. 2001. Geneva: World Health Organization, 2001.

Results

In 2010, cancer was the fifth leading cause of disease burden in the IMSS affiliate population, with a total of 736 090 DALYs and a rate of 16 722 DALYs per 1000 affiliates (figure 1). Of these, two-thirds were due to the YLL resulting from premature death, and one-third of the YLL were associated with disability.

In figure 2, the distributions of the YLL and YLD are shown for each cancer. Breast cancer was the malignant neoplasia that showed the highest contribution to the disease burden, followed by prostate cancer. In both, the weight of disability was greater than 50%. In contrast, for cancers of the trachea, bronchia, lung, stomach, liver, and pancreas; leukemia; and melanoma, the contribution of premature mortality was higher than 90%.

The burden of disease for each type of cancer differs by sex. With the exception of gallbladder and biliary tract cancer, in which the DALY rate per 1000 affiliates in women is almost twice that in men, and pancreatic cancer, in which there is no difference according to sex, the DALY rate is higher in men. This is especially the case for cancers of the larynx; esophagus; bladder; trachea; bronchia and lung; and mouth, nasopharynx, and oropharynx (table I).

The contribution to the cancer burden by delegation is shown in figures 3 to 5. On average, 75% of the cancer burden in each delegation is due to ten cancers, including breast, prostate, tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancers, leukemia, and colorectal cancer, which rank in the top positions in terms of importance, not considering the subgroups of other malignant neoplasms.

It is worth noting that while breast cancer ranks first in importance nationally among IMSS affiliates, in some delegations, breast cancer occupies the second position in terms of incidence. In other delegations, it ranks in third (Tlaxcala), fourth (San Luis Potosi and Yucatan), or fifth (Campeche) place. In Chiapas, unlike the other delegations, cervical cancer ranks second, followed by leukemia. In eight delegations, cancer of the trachea, bronchia, and lung ranks second, while leukemia occupies the same position in six delegations.

Discussion

The total DALYs lost due to malignant neoplasms in the insured population corresponds to 6.8% of the total number of causes, which is below the value reported in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7.6%).1717. Murray CJ, Vos T, Lozano R, Naghavi M, Flaxman AD, Michaud C, et al. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010. Lancet 2012;380(9859):2197-2223. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61689-4.
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61...
In this latest study, the cancers that most contributed to the burden of disease were stomach cancer, other malignant neoplasms of the liver, and cancers of the trachea, bronchia, and lung; in the insured population of the IMSS, the diseases included breast cancer, other malignant neoplasms of the prostate, and cancers of the trachea, bronchia, and lung. This results can be explained by the use of different methodologies for calculating the DALYs.

Of the cancers, the diseases with the highest number of DALYs were breast and prostate cancers. In addition, these two diseases accounted for the largest proportion of years of disability, similar to that for noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular and circulatory diseases. The order of the proportion of DALYs at the national level was very similar to the order within the IMSS delegations; for example, breast cancer ranked first in most IMSS delegations (82%).

In San Luis Potosí and Yucatán, prostate cancer ranks first, and leukemia ranks first in Campeche and Quintana Roo. Stomach cancer and cancer of the trachea, bronchia, and lung rank first in the delegations of Tlaxcala and Sinaloa, respectively. However, these conditions are in the second and fourth positions in other delegations. This uniformity in ranking likely occurs because IMSS affiliates are composed of individuals with a homogeneous socioeconomic status throughout the country.

Excluding breast and prostate cancer, in other conditions, the YLD proportion is very low, which indicates that these conditions are very lethal. The total YLL has no single explanation, as there are conditions such as leukemia in which the incidence rate does not occupy the first positions in the general population, but it occurs at younger ages. In contrast, tumors of the respiratory tract and stomach, which are among the leading causes of death in the general population and for which the lethality is very high, can be explained because most cases occur when individuals reach their 50s.1818. Anderson WF, Camargo MC, Fraumeni JF, Correa P, Rosenberg PS, Rabkin CS. Age-Specific Trends in Incidence of Noncardia Gastric Cancer in US Adults. JAMA 2010;303(17):1723-1728. doi: 10.1001/jama.2010.496.
https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2010.496...

Similar results were observed when comparing these results with those of other Latin American countries. In Peru, in 2008, cancers represented the fourth leading cause of disease burden (8% of the total DALYs) and a DALYs rate of 15.8 per thousand inhabitants, which was surpassed by mental and behavioral disorders, unintentional injuries, and cardiovascular diseases. Cancers of the stomach, blood system (leukemia), cervix, and breast, exhibited the greatest burden of disease.1919. Ministerio de Salud. Dirección General de Epidemiología. Análisis de la situación del cáncer en Perú. Lima, Perú: Ministerio de Salud, 2013 [accessed August 20, 2015]. Available at: http://www.dge.gob.pe/portal/docs/asis_cancer.pdf.

In Santander, Colombia, in 2005, the cancers with the highest burden of disease due to premature mortality were stomach cancer, leukemia, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma and myeloma, and breast cancer.2020. Esquiaqui-Felipe R, Posso-Valencia H, Penaloza RE, Rodriguez-Garcia J. Carga de enfermedad por cancer en Santander, Colombia, 2005. Rev Salud Publica 2012;14(2):213-225. In both studies, the methodology used was similar to that used in our analysis, and although differences in the positions held by each cancer and in the percentage of burden attributable to premature death were observed, these differences could be due to the varying disability weightings used in each study.

The results of recent studies published on the disease burden of the country highlight the significance of some cancers2121. Lozano R, Gomez-Dantes H, Garrido-Latorre F, Jimenez-Corona A, Campuzano-Rincon JC, Franco-Marina F, et al. La carga de enfermedad, lesiones, factores de riesgo y desafios para el sistema de salud en Mexico. Salud Publica Mex 2013;55(6):580-594. ranked in the top 20 of all major causes analyzed (lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women, ranked in positions 19 and 10, respectively), specifically in terms of premature mortality. Taking into account these data, both cancers are the most significant contributors to the burden of disease attributable to premature mortality in the subgroup of malignant neoplasms, which is similar to the results of our study in which cancers of the breast and the trachea, bronchia, and lung were the first and second causes of YLL, respectively. Moreover, the significance of breast cancer, which has displaced cervical cancer in women,2222. Lozano R, Gómez-Dantés H, Pelcastre B, Ruelas MG, Montañez JC, Campuzano JC, et al. Carga de la enfermedad en México, 1990-2010. Nuevos resultados y desafíos. Cuernavaca, México: Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública / Secretaría de Salud, 2014 [accessed August 20, 2015].

is highlighted.

One of the limitations of studies of disease burden is related to the availability and quality of information. Due to the lack of a cancer registry in institutions or in the country, information from various sources was used for our analysis including information from institutional (incidence), national (mortality), and international (prevalence) sources and a consensus of experts (remission), which allowed the calculation of accurate estimations that are comparable with the results of other studies.

The methodology used in this study corresponds to that published in 2001,1010. Mathers CD, Vos T, Lopez AD, Salomon J, Ezzati M. National Burden of Disease Studies: A Practical Guide. Global Program on Evidence for Health Policy. 2001. Geneva: World Health Organization, 2001. which was made available to countries and institutions interested in using it, along with tools such as the DISMOD II. The evolution of the burden of disease during the study led to the development of newer applications that mainly employed computational and statistical methods to estimate parameters other than those estimated by the above methodology. These new tools inevitably produced different estimations.1717. Murray CJ, Vos T, Lozano R, Naghavi M, Flaxman AD, Michaud C, et al. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010. Lancet 2012;380(9859):2197-2223. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61689-4.
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61...

The results obtained in this study allow the identification of intervention priorities with regard to cancer at the institutional level and allow for the focus at the delegation level to be placed on cancers ranking higher in terms of disease burden. In this regard, the Institute has designed a cancer plan (OncoIMSS) that proposes including prostate and colorectal cancers in screening and early diagnosis programs. The OncoIMSS also considers the implementation of a population-based Institutional cancer registry, which will allow an assessment of the impact of these intervention programs.
