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

The effect of immunohistochemically detected p53 accumulation in prognosis of breast cancer; A retrospective survey of outcome

TL;DR: It seems that p53 mutation is an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer, although larger prospective studies are needed to clarify the importance of such a conclusion.

TL;DR: This study shows that TL-NSRH is feasible, safe and effective and conjugates adequate radicality and improvement in post-operative functional outcomes, with particular emphasis on post-surgical pelvic function.

Duration of first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer: Translating the available evidence into general recommendations for routine practice.
TL;DR: It is concluded that continuing induction treatment until progression may improve disease control but there is no evidence to suggest that adopting this practice can prolong survival, and de-escalated treatment strategies offer an opportunity to reduce the burden of toxicity while maintaining satisfactory oncological outcomes.

Metformin improves survival in lung cancer patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis.
TL;DR: It is found that metformin treatment significantly improved the survival of lung cancer patients and when stratified by lung cancer subtype, the hazard ratios for overall survival were 0.75, 95% confidence interval: 0.70-0.80; P<0.001).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors examined the relationship between multimorbidity (number/cluster) and all-cause mortality in Chinese older adults, and found that the risk of all cause mortality is increased with the number of multimORbidity among Chinese adults, particularly disease clusters.

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.
