TLDR
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.Abstract:
There are limited published data on recent cancer incidence and mortality trends worldwide. We used the International Agency for Research on Cancer's CANCERMondial clearinghouse to present age-standardized cancer incidence and death rates for 2003-2007. We also present trends in incidence through 2007 and mortality through 2012 for select countries from five continents. High-income countries (HIC) continue to have the highest incidence rates for all sites, 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. Mortality rates from these cancers are declining in many HICs while they are increasing in LMICs. LMICs have the highest rates of stomach, liver, esophageal, and cervical cancer. Although rates remain high in HICs, they are plateauing or decreasing for the most common cancers due to decreases in known risk factors, screening and early detection, and improved treatment (mortality only). In contrast, rates in several LMICs are increasing for these cancers due to increases in smoking, excess body weight, and physical inactivity. LMICs also have a disproportionate burden of infection-related cancers. Applied cancer control measures are needed to reduce rates in HICs and arrest the growing burden in LMICs.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fascin is required for migration and invasion induced by LA in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Recent trends and advances in the epidemiology, synergism, and delivery system of lycopene as an anti-cancer agent
Xunyu Song,Yinghua Luo,Lingjun Ma,Xiaosong Hu,Jesus Simal-Gandara,Li-Shu Wang,Vivek K. Bajpai,Jianbo Xiao,Fang Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential regulatory mechanisms and epidemiological evidences of lycopene and its metabolites to delay the progression of cancers at different developmental stages are reviewed, and the synergistic interaction of Lycopene with other drugs and nutrients is highlighted especially due to its binding activity with other nutrients.

TL;DR: HOPX promoter methylation was significantly associated with HER2 positivity as well as advanced lymph node metastasis and may have clinical potential as a biomarker in the treatment strategy of breast cancer patients.

Antrodia cinnamomea induces autophagic cell death via the CHOP/TRB3/Akt/mTOR pathway in colorectal cancer cells
TL;DR: The findings suggest that autophagic cell death via the CHOP/TRB3/Akt/mTOR pathway may represent a new mechanism of anti-colorectal cancer action by A. cinnamomea.

TL;DR: All aspects of HRZoL are considerably impaired in patients with advanced cancer, with a marked lower HRQoL in the final months of life, which may be an indicator of approaching death.

TL;DR: Screening with the use of low-dose CT reduces mortality from lung cancer, as compared with the radiography group, and the rate of death from any cause was reduced.

The global health burden of infection-associated cancers in the year 2002.
TL;DR: The fraction of the different types of cancer, and of all cancers worldwide and in different regions, has been estimated using several methods; primarily by reviewing the evidence for the strength of the association (relative risk) and the prevalence of infection in different world areas.
