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

Immune Modulation by Vitamin D: Special Emphasis on Its Role in Prevention and Treatment of Cancer
TL;DR: The findings show that vitamin D has the potential to become a valid coadjuvant in the treatment of cancer and several studies reported that differences exist between white and black patients.

NEAT1/miR‑124/STAT3 feedback loop promotes breast cancer progression.
TL;DR: The present findings revealed that NEAT1 and STAT3 formed a feedback loop via sponging miR‑124 to promote breast cancer progression and reduce the inhibitory effects of miR‐124 overexpression on the proliferation rate and cell cycle progression.

TL;DR: The results indicate that mtp53 R273H and PARP1 interact with replicating DNA and should be considered as dual biomarkers for identifying breast cancers that may respond to combination PARPi treatments.

TL;DR: Considering its appropriate composition of mineral elements and phenolic compounds, Joo could offer a beneficial and natural source of bioactive compounds that can be either used on the preventive side as it could potentially be used in the clinic without toxicity.

Curcumin enhances cisplatin sensitivity of human NSCLC cell lines through influencing Cu-Sp1-CTR1 regulatory loop.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated copper chelator curcumin enhances the benefits of platinum-containing chemotherapeutic agents and CTR1 could be a promising therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer treatment.

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.
