Single Measure of Cancer Burden [SMCB ]
SMCB Methodology 1. Estimation age-adjusted incidence and mortality using with the mid-year population in 2005 fro m 1999 to 2010. 2. Identification the maximum value of age-adjusted incidence/mortality in 2010 for whole populat ion. The maximum value of incidence/mortality: 67.5 cases of thyroid cancer per 100,000 peop le/25.3 cases of lung cancer per 100,000 people. 3. Dividing into 10 equal intervals from 0 to 67.5(I) and 0 to 25.3(M). 4. Giving the score by sex and cancer sites 5. Adding the incidence score and mortality score: 2-20 6. Determining the rank of cancer sites by sum of scores. The range of age-adjusted incidence Incidence score The range of age-adjusted mortality Mortality score 0.00 x <6.75 1 point 0.00 x <2.53 1 point 6.75 x <13.00 2 points 2.53 x <5.06 2 points 59.75 x <67.5 9 points 22.77 x <25.3 9 points x 67.5 10 points x 25.3 10 points Cho KH et al.
