Variation of cervical cancer incidence in Latin America and the Caribbean
TL;DR: This study compared cervical cancer rates from a more diverse group of Latin American and Caribbean countries than that of the CI5-IX, highlighting the importance of examining data from as many registries as possible when characterizing risk across a geographic area.

A Retrospective Comparison of Taxane and Fluorouracil-based Chemoradiotherapy in Patients with Inoperable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
TL;DR: Chemoradiation with taxane-based regimens is well tolerated, with potentially promising efficacy, and could become a good alternative treatment in a first line setting for patients with inoperable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Socio-demographic and geographical factors in esophageal and gastric cancer mortality in Sweden.
TL;DR: These socio-demographic inequalities in cancer mortality warrant efforts to investigate possible preventable mechanisms and to promote and support healthier lifestyles among deprived groups.

TL;DR: The routines in place at the CRN yields comparable data that can be considered reasonably accurate, close-to-complete and timely, thereby justifying the policy of the reporting of annual incidence one year after the year of diagnosis.
