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

Butuo Li,Cheng Li,Meiying Guo,Shuheng Shang,Xiaogang Li,Peng Xie,Xindong Sun,Jinming Yu,Jinming Yu,Linlin Wang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the predictive value of serum level of LDH in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with bevacizumab.

LukS-PV induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through p38/ERK MAPK signaling pathway in NSCLC cells
TL;DR: The present study showed that LukS-PV can induce apoptosis in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) lines (THP-1 and HL-60) and may contribute to the development of anti-cancer agents.

Let-7a Could Serve as A Biomarker for Chemo-Responsiveness to Docetaxel in Gastric Cancer.
Najibeh Shekari,Faezeh Asghari,Navideh Haghnavaz,Dariush Shanehbandi,Vahid Khaze,Behzad Baradaran,Tohid Kazemi +6 more
TL;DR: Alterations in the expression level of let-7a, but not miR-21, and also its target, HMGA2, showed consistent results regarding to the more resistance of KATO III cell line with the highest IC50 concentration.

Identification and validation of FGFR2 peptide for detection of early Barrett’s neoplasia
Juan Zhou,Lei He,Zhijun Pang,Henry D. Appelman,Rork Kuick,David G. Beer,Meng Li,Thomas D. Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Potential for this FGFR2 peptide to be used as a clinical imaging agent to guide tissue biopsy and improve methods for early detection of EAC and potentially other epithelial-derived cancers is demonstrated.

Comparison of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound versus Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Diagnosis of Focal Liver Lesions Using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System
Jia-Yu Wang,Shao-Yang Feng,Ai-Jiao Yi,Di Zhu,Jian-Wei Xu,Jun Li,Xin-Wu Cui,Christoph F. Dietrich +7 more
TL;DR: CEUS had a much higher sensitivity than CE- MRI in the diagnosis of HCC using LI-RADS, and although the frequencies of major features differed, inter-observer agreement between the two reviewers on major features of H CC was excellent for both CEUS and CE-MRI.

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.
