Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary Lung Cancer Trends among U.S. Women
TL;DR: Birth cohort patterns suggest that the decrease in the age-standardized rate will continue for at least 20 years, but will be slowed by aging of women born in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the early decline in lung cancer incidence among women is likely to persist through at least 2025.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zhiyuan Zheng,Xuesong Han,Jingxuan Zhao,Matthew P. Banegas,Reginald D. Tucker-Seeley,Ashish Rai,Stacey A. Fedewa,Weishan Song,Ahmedin Jemal,K. Robin Yabroff +9 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Age-specific trends in black–white disparities in cervical cancer incidence in the United States: 1975–2009
TL;DR: Disparities in cervical cancer incidence rates were eliminated for younger blacks vs. whites but persisted for blacks aged 50 years and older, and additional strategies are needed to increase follow-up and treatment of precancerous lesions among middle-aged and older black women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in the Incidence of Colorectal Cancer in Relation to County-Level Poverty among Blacks and Whites
TL;DR: The recent decrease in colorectal cancer incidence has not yet benefited persons residing in high-poverty areas, and additional effort is needed to extend prevention and early detection measures to all segments of the population.
