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

TL;DR: The recurred papillary thyroid carcinoma showed a tendency to downregulate the expression of MHC class II antigens, which might have a role in the recurrence of papillary Thyroid carcinoma.

Coffee Intake Interacted with the Bcl-2 rs1944420, rs7236090, and rs2849382 Haplotype to Influence Breast Cancer Risk in Middle-Aged Women.
TL;DR: Kim et al. as mentioned in this paper hypothesized that the haplotype of Bcl-2 genetic variants increases breast cancer risk and interacts with lifestyles in Korean women, and identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of BCL-2.

TL;DR: The RD of the EOS regimen in patients with previously untreated AGC was 50 mg/m2 of epirubicin and 130 mg/"m2" of oxaliplatin on day 1, with administration of 40 mg/(m2)2 of S-1 twice a day on days 1–14 for each 21-day cycle.

A multisource approach to improving epidemiologic estimates: application to global B-cell malignancies.
TL;DR: It is found that a multisource approach yields a more comprehensive epidemiologic database than what would have been possible with the use of literature searches alone, and that cancer registries vary considerably in their methodology, comprehensiveness, and ability to gather information on specific B-cell malignancy subtypes.

TL;DR: No significant relationship was recognized between any of the clinical or pathological parameters (tumor size, axillary lymph node metastasis, stage, or Ki-67 labeling index) with the frequency of hyper-methylated DNA in the primary tumor or plasma.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to establish a database of histological groups and to provide a level of consistency and quality of data that could be applied in the design of future registries.
