Cancer statistics, 2016
TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer statistics, 2015.
TL;DR: The overall cancer death rate decreased from 215.1 (per 100,000 population) in 1991 to 168.7 in 2011, a total relative decline of 22%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances with liposomes as pharmaceutical carriers.
TL;DR: For further successful development of this field, promising trends must be identified and exploited, albeit with a clear understanding of the limitations of these approaches.
