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

LRP6 promotes invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer through cytoskeleton dynamics.
Qian Yao,Yu An,Wei Hou,Yanan Cao,Mengfei Yao,Ningning Ma,Lin Hou,Hong Zhang,Haijing Liu,Bo Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that phosphorylation of LRP6 was aberrantly upregulated in colorectal carcinoma correlating with TNM or Dukes staging and worse prognosis, and the investigation suggests that LRP 6 may be a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target in the progression of colorective cancers.

Evidence-Based Review of BioBran/MGN-3 Arabinoxylan Compound as a Complementary Therapy for Conventional Cancer Treatment.
TL;DR: There is sufficient evidence suggesting M GN-3 to be an effective immunomodulator that can complement conventional cancer treatment, however, more well-designed RCTs on MGN-3 are needed to strengthen the evidence base.

Noriyuki Hirahara,Yoshitsugu Tajima,Yusuke Fujii,Shunsuke Kaji,Yasunari Kawabata,Ryoji Hyakudomi,Tetsu Yamamoto,Takahito Taniura +7 more
TL;DR: It is advantageous to use both CEA level and the CONUT score to assess the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer, which reflect both tumor- related factors and host-related factors, respectively.

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.
