TLDR
With the major exceptions of female lung cancer and pancreatic cancer in both sexes, cancer mortality has moderately but steadily declined across Europe in the last quinquennium, requiring targeted interventions on risk factor control, early diagnosis, and improved management and pharmacological treatment for selected cancer sites.About:

TL;DR: A substantial portion of cancer cases and deaths could be prevented by broadly applying effective prevention measures, such as tobacco control, vaccination, and the use of early detection tests.

Global Cancer Incidence and Mortality Rates and Trends—An Update
TL;DR: Applied cancer control measures are needed to reduce rates in HICs and arrest the growing burden in LMICs, as well as for lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer, although some low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) now count among those with the highest rates.

TL;DR: This ESMO guideline is recommended to be used as the basis for treatment and management decisions, delivering a clear proposal for diagnostic and treatment measures in each stage of rectal and colon cancer and the individual clinical situations.

Gastric Cancer: Descriptive Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Screening, and Prevention
TL;DR: The epidemiology, screening, and prevention of gastric cancer are reviewed, including its incidence, survival, mortality, and trends over time, and risk factors are characterized, both environmental and genetic.

Thyroid cancer mortality and incidence: A global overview
Carlo La Vecchia,Matteo Malvezzi,Cristina Bosetti,Werner Garavello,Paola Bertuccio,Fabio Levi,Eva Negri +6 more
TL;DR: The declines in thyroid cancer mortality reflect both variations in risk factor exposure and changes in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, while the increases in the incidence are likely due to the increase in the detection of this neoplasm over the last few decades.

Cancer statistics, 2013
TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates have declined 20% from their peak in 1991 to 2009 and can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket and other underserved populations.

IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans
TL;DR: This timely monograph is a distillation of knowledge of hepatitis B, C and D, based on a review of 1000 studies by a small group of scientists, and it is concluded that hepatitis D virus cannot be classified as a human carcinogen.

TL;DR: There is substantial global variation in the relative burden of stroke compared with IHD, and the disproportionate burden from stroke for many lower-income countries suggests that distinct interventions may be required.

TL;DR: Up-to-date estimates of the cancer burden in Europe alongside the description of the varying distribution of common cancers at both the regional and country level provide a basis for establishing priorities to cancer control actions in Europe.
