TLDR
The changing risk profile in successive generations – improved education, higher socioeconomic status, later age at marriage and at first child, and lower parity – may in combination partially explain the diverging generational changes in breast and cervical cancer in Mumbai in the last decades.

Estimates of Incidence and Mortality of Cervical Cancer in 2018: A Worldwide Analysis

TL;DR: The global scale-up of HPV vaccination and HPV-based screening—including self-sampling—has potential to make cervical cancer a rare disease in the decades to come, and could help shape and monitor the initiative to eliminate cervical cancer as a major public health problem.

Global burden of human papillomavirus and related diseases.

TL;DR: Cervical cancer is the third most common female malignancy and shows a strong association with level of development, rates being at least four-fold higher in countries defined within the low ranking of the Human Development Index (HDI) compared with those in the very high category.

Worldwide trends in cervical cancer incidence: impact of screening against changes in disease risk factors.

TL;DR: The importance of strengthening screening efforts and augmenting existing cancer control efforts with HPV vaccination is underscored, notably in those countries where unfavourable cohort effects are continuing or emerging.

Challenges to effective cancer control in China, India, and Russia

TL;DR: The overall state of health and cancer control in each country is described and additional specific issues for consideration are described: for China, access to care, contamination of the environment, and cancer fatalism and traditional medicine; for India, affordability of care, provision of adequate health personnel, and sociocultural barriers to cancer control.

Body mass index, serum sex hormones, and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with serum sex hormone concentrations could be explained by the relationship between BMI and estradiol levels.

Models for temporal variation in cancer rates. II: Age–period–cohort models

TL;DR: The age-period-cohort model is described and its ambiguities surrounding regular trends 'intensify' are shown and methods for presenting the results of analyses based upon this model which minimize the serious risk of misleading implications are recommended.

Models for temporal variation in cancer rates. I: Age-period and age-cohort models.

TL;DR: The modern approach to the analysis of data which justifies traditional methods of age standardization in terms of the multiplicative risk model is reviewed and the serious difficulties which attend the interpretation of regular trends are demonstrated.
