2002 annual report of the Korea Central Cancer Registry: based on registered data from 139 hospitals.
TLDR
With the continued increase in cancer cases especially prostate cancer among males and thyroid cancer among females, the total number of registered cancer cases in Korea continues to rapidly increase.Abstract:
PURPOSE To estimate the number of cancer cases during 2002 in Korea through a nationwide hospital based cancer registration by the Korea Central Cancer Registry (KCCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty nine hospitals participated in the KCCR program in 2002. Cancer cases were coded and classified according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology 2(nd) edition (ICD-O-2). The software program "IARC Check" was used to evaluate the quality of registered cancer cases. Of the 122,770 malignancies registered, 11,732 (9.6%) duplicated malignancies were excluded. Among the remaining 102,677 malignancies, 3,652 (3.6%) cases with carcinoma in situ (Morphology code/2) were separated. Finally, 99,025 malignancies were analyzed. RESULTS Of the total of 99,025 malignancies, 55,398 (55.9%) cases were males and 43,627 (44.1%) were females. More than one third of cases were from the elderly (65 years old and more). The six leading primary cancer sites in the order of their relative frequency, were stomach (24.0%), followed by the lung (16.0%), the liver (15.4%), the colorectum (11.6%), the bladder (3.2%), and the prostate (3.0%) among males. In females, the breast (16.8%) was the common cancer site, followed by the stomach (15.3%), the colorectum (10.7%), the thyroid gland (9.5%), the cervix uteri (9.1%), and the lung (6.6%). CONCLUSION With the continued increase in cancer cases especially prostate cancer among males and thyroid cancer among females, the total number of registered cancer cases in Korea continues to rapidly increase.read more

Induction of Apoptosis in Human Colon Carcinoma HCT116 Cells Using a Water Extract of Lepidium virginicum L.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the WELVR-induced inhibition of cell proliferation is associated with the induction of apoptotic cell death, which may be a potential chemotherapeutic agent for the control of HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the expression of TS in primary colorectal cancer might be an important prognostic factor for chemotherapy response and survival, and might be a useful therapeutic marker for the response of chemotherapy.

Mutational analysis of FEN1 gene in hepatocellular carcinomas.
TL;DR: It is likely that the SATB1 mutation identified in cancer cells may contribute to the development of HCC by defect of protein-protein interaction, as there was no mutation in corresponding normal DNAs of these tissues, indicating that mutation detected in SSCP cases with mutation showed that the data were consistent.

TL;DR: Type 2 diabetes was associated with increased colorectal cancer risk, and this association was more definite in the subjects younger than 65 years, compared with the control group.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Gleason score, the nadir PSA and the PSA level at 6 months were independent variables to predict progression to AIPC after CAB.
