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: The aim of this study was to analyse GATA6 expression in lung adenocarcinomas by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in order to define its association with clinicopathological characteristics.
Acromegaly and cancer: an old debate revisited
TL;DR: The existing data relating to cancer risk and mortality in acromegaly are reviewed, exploring the limitations of study designs and the impact of changes in disease control and patient outcomes over time.

TL;DR: There is an increasing trend in cancer mortality over recent years in Tanzania, which differs with respect to age, sex, and geographic zones, and these findings provide a basis for additional studies to ascertain incidence rates and survival probabilities.

Targeted and immuno-biology driven treatment strategies for triple-negative breast cancer: current knowledge and future perspectives.
TL;DR: The integration of multidimensional, large amounts of data, will be essential and likely accelerate treatment progress of TNBC and generate clinical success of many other, to date ineffective, targeted and immune therapies.

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.
