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

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -2, -7 and -9 promoter polymorphisms in colorectal cancer in ethnic Kashmiri population - A case-control study and a mini review.
Mujeeb Zafar Banday,Aga Syed Sameer,Ashaq Hussain Mir,Taseem A. Mokhdomi,Nissar A. Chowdri,Ehtishamul Haq +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that these MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9 promoter polymorphisms play a role as one of the key modulators of the risk of developing colorectal cancer in Kashmiri population.

Socioeconomic Differences and Lung Cancer Survival-Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
TL;DR: The findings suggest a weak positive association between individual income and lung cancer survival and studies reporting on socioeconomic differences in lung cancer survivors should consider including smoking status of the patients in their analysis and to stratify by relevant prognostic factors.

CBD: a biomarker database for colorectal cancer
Xueli Zhang,Xueli Zhang,Xiao-Feng Sun,Yang Cao,Yang Cao,Benchen Ye,Qiliang Peng,Xingyun Liu,Bairong Shen,Hong Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: This version of the CBD was established based on 870 identified CRC biomarkers and their relevant information from 1115 original articles in PubMed published from 1986 to 2017 and can provide more comprehensive and accurate information for further CRC biomarker research.

Immune suppressed tumor microenvironment by exosomes derived from gastric cancer cells via modulating immune functions
Juan Liu,Shaoxian Wu,Xiao Zheng,Panpan Zheng,Yuanyuan Fu,Changping Wu,Binfeng Lu,Jingfang Ju,Jingting Jiang +8 more
TL;DR: New insights are provided into how gastric cancer derived exosomes modulate the immune response to promote lung tumor metastasis by changing gene expression and cytokine secretion patterns.

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.
