Mashup Score: 2Cancer Epidemiology in Hispanic Populations: An Analysis of Funded Observational Research at the National Cancer Institute - 11 month(s) ago
AbstractBackground:. More than 62 million people self-identified as Hispanic/Latino (H/L) in the 2020 United States census. The U.S. H/L population has higher burden of certain cancers compared with their non-Hispanic White counterparts.Methods:. Key term search using the NIH Query/View/Report (QVR) system, along with Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization codes identified cancer…

Mashup Score: 0
We aimed to explore if hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinemia in the diabetes and prediabetes population were associated with increased risk of cancer occurence. Overall, 1700 participants with different glycaemic statuses were screened from the 110,660 residents of Da-Qing, China, in 1985. They were followed up to 30 years to access cancer outcomes. Cancer was identified in 15.2% (259/1700) of the…

Mashup Score: 0Differences in cancer incidence by broad ethnic group in England, 2013–2017 - British Journal of Cancer - 2 year(s) ago
Cancer incidence variation between population groups can inform public health and cancer services. Previous studies have shown cancer incidence rates vary by ethnic group in England. Since their publication, the completeness of ethnicity recording in cancer data has improved, and relevant inequalities (e.g. risk factor prevalence and healthcare access) may have changed. Age-standardised incidence…

Mashup Score: 0Ultra-processed foods and cancer risk: from global food systems to individual exposures and mechanisms - 2 year(s) ago
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have become increasingly dominant globally, contributing to as much as 60% of total daily energy intake in some settings. Epidemiological evidence suggests this worldwide shift in food processing may partly be responsible for the global obesity epidemic and chronic disease burden. However, prospective studies examining the association between UPF consumption and…

Mashup Score: 0
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is less effective at reducing cancer incidence in the proximal colon compared to the distal colorectum. We aimed to identify adenoma characteristics associated with proximal colon cancer (PCC). Endoscopy and pathology data for patients with ≥1 adenoma detected at baseline colonoscopy were obtained from 17 UK hospitals between 2001 and 2010. Multivariable Cox…

Mashup Score: 2Socio-economic inequalities in cancer survival: how do they translate into Number of Life-Years Lost? - British Journal of Cancer - 2 year(s) ago
We aimed to investigate the impact of socio-economic inequalities in cancer survival in England on the Number of Life-Years Lost (NLYL) due to cancer. We analysed 1.2 million patients diagnosed with one of the 23 most common cancers (92.3% of all incident cancers in England) between 2010 and 2014. Socio-economic deprivation of patients was based on the income domain of the English Index of…

Mashup Score: 0Association between C-reactive protein and risk of overall and 18 site-specific cancers in a Japanese case-cohort - 2 year(s) ago
Evidence of the association between chronic low-grade inflammation, as reflected by C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements, and cancer risk is equivocal. Specifically, few studies have examined this in uncommon cancers and Asian populations. We utilised a case-cohort design consisting of multi-types of cancer (N = 3608), and a random subcohort (N = 4432) in a Japanese large population-based study,…

Mashup Score: 2Incidence trends for twelve cancers in younger adults—a rapid review - British Journal of Cancer - 2 year(s) ago
Many cancer referral guidelines use patient’s age as a key criterium to decide who should be referred urgently. A recent rise in the incidence of colorectal cancer in younger adults has been described in high-income countries worldwide. Information on other cancers is more limited. The aim of this rapid review was to determine whether other cancers are also increasing in younger age groups, as…

Mashup Score: 0Five ways to improve international comparisons of cancer survival: lessons learned from ICBP SURVMARK-2 - British Journal of Cancer - 2 year(s) ago
Comparisons of population-based cancer survival between countries are important to benchmark the overall effectiveness of cancer management. The International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP) Survmark-2 study aims to compare survival in seven high-income countries across eight cancer sites and explore reasons for the observed differences. A critical aspect in ensuring comparability in the…
