Differential incidence trends of colon and rectal cancers in Hong Kong: an age-period-cohort analysis.
TL;DR: The incidences of colon and rectal cancers have exhibited divergent patterns between 1983 and 2012 in Hong Kong, indicating heterogeneous etiologies between these two types of cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time trends of esophageal cancer in Hong Kong: age, period and birth cohort analyses.
TL;DR: The declining birth cohort effects in the recent generations were in line with the increased intakes of fresh vegetables and decreased consumptions of alcohol drinking, tobacco smoking, and preserved foods observed in population, thus supported their importance in influencing the burden of esophageal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer mortality in a historical cohort of workers with asbestosis.
TL;DR: This historical cohort study revealed that the prevalence of PTB infection was high among workers with asbestosis in Hong Kong and an excess risk of lung cancer mortality was observed among workaday workers with a history ofPTB, but the risk was lower than that seen among workers without a history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure-response estimate for lung cancer and asbestosis in a predominantly chrysotile-exposed Chinese factory cohort.
TL;DR: Evidence using quantitative exposure estimates was provided for increased risks of lung cancer mortality and development of asbestosis in a predominantly chrysotile-exposed cohort of Chinese asbestos workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
