Sažetak
Aim To analyze the trend of lung cancer mortality in Montenegro
from 1990 to 2015.
Methods Data on lung cancer mortality were collected
from death certificates obtained from the Statistical Office
of Montenegro for the period 1990-2009 and the Institute
for Public Health for the period 2010-2015. Population data
were obtained from the Statistical Office of Montenegro.
Rates were age-standardized to the World Standard Population,
and mortality trends were analyzed with the joinpoint
regression. Results In 2015, lung cancer accounted for 5.44% of all
deaths and 22.92% of all cancer deaths. It was the leading
cause of all cancer deaths and the third-leading cause of
all deaths. A joinpoint was observed in 2004 in women and
in the entire population, and in 2005 in men. The overall
mortality rates increased from 1990 to 2004 by an average
of 3.91% per year and decreased from 2004 to 2015 by an
average of 1.95%; which in the entire observed period resulted
in an average increase of 1.3% per year. A particularly
strong growth rate was observed in women, even 7.14%
in the period from 1990 to 2004.
Conclusion The observed increase in lung cancer mortality
warrants improved tobacco control.
