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

Baicalein enhanced cisplatin sensitivity of gastric cancer cells by inducing cell apoptosis and autophagy via Akt/mTOR and Nrf2/Keap 1 pathway.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that baicalein enhanced DDP sensitivity of SGC-7901/DDP gastric cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and autophagy via Akt/mTOR and Nrf2/Keap 1 pathway.

RHPN1-AS1 Drives the Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Regulating miR-596/IGF2BP2 Axis
TL;DR: RHPN1-AS1 acts as a sponge of tumor suppressor miR-596 in HCC that can indirectly enhance IGF2BP2 expression and function as an oncogenic lncRNA.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stromal fibroblasts respond to canonical Wnt signalling and that Plakophilin‐2 plays a role in the feedback control of this effect suggesting that the response to Wnt factors in the stroma may modulate Wnt activity in the tumour cells.

Tobacco Cessation in Oncology Care.
TL;DR: This article describes the components of a model treatment program, which includes automatic referrals for all current tobacco users and recent quitters, motivational interviewing during initial and follow-up contacts, combined behavioral and pharmacological interventions for cessation, and systematic follow- up phone calls for relapse prevention.

TL;DR: Deep-tissue penetrable multispectral optoacoustic tomography and near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging based technology by tailoring a free radical-responsive chromophore with photon-upconverting nanocrystals provides an ideal cross-referencing system that guarantees the maximum sensing specificity and sensitivity, enabling precise disease biology evaluation and treatment assessments in vivo.

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.
