PurposeDescribe the characteristics of patients seen at the Cancer Prevention and Control Service at a Peruvian private cancer clinic in 2014.Patients and methodsThis retrospective clinical study analyzed the prevalence of 10 cancers and characteristics of patients seen at a private cancer center located in Lima, Peru. The study sample included 7680 adults, and data were collected from de-identified medical records.ResultsThe average age of the patients was 44.71 years and 98,82% of them had private insurance. The majority of patients were women (67.69%). Our gross incidence rate of cancer was 35.16 per 100,000 in the Cancer Prevention and Control Service in 2014. Only 0.35% had cancer, and most of those diagnosed with cancer (77.78%) were diagnosed in the early stages, stages I and II. The two most common cancers observed were breast and thyroid cancer.ConclusionsThe high rates of early, rather than late-stage diagnoses at this clinic are dramatically different than national rates. This difference may be because we are analyzing data from a prevention service seeing mainly patients with private insurance as opposed to national data, which consists primarily of patients seen in oncologic services with national insurance.

秘鲁一家私人癌症诊所的预防和控制服务中发现癌症病例

目的描述 2014 年在秘鲁一家私人癌症诊所的癌症预防和控制服务处就诊的患者的特征。患者和方法这项回顾性临床研究分析了 10 种癌症的患病率以及在秘鲁利马的一家私立癌症中心就诊的患者的特征。研究样本包括7680名成年人，数据来自去识别的医疗记录。结果患者平均年龄为44.71岁，98.82%的患者有私人保险。大多数患者是女性（67.69%）。2014年我们癌症预防和控制服务的癌症总发病率为35.16/10万人。只有0.35%的人患有癌症，大多数被诊断患有癌症的人（77.78%）是在早期、I期和II期被诊断出来的。观察到的两种最常见的癌症是乳腺癌和甲状腺癌。结论该诊所的早期诊断率高，而不是晚期诊断率与全国发病率有很大差异。这种差异可能是因为我们正在分析来自预防服务的数据，该数据主要针对私人保险的患者，而不是国家数据，后者主要包括接受国家保险的肿瘤服务患者。
