BackgroundThailand is undergoing an epidemiologic transition, with decreasing incidence of infectious diseases and increasing rates of chronic conditions, including cancer. Breast cancer has the highest incidence rates among females both in the southern region Thailand and throughout Thailand. However, there is a lack of research on the epidemiology of this and other cancers.MethodsHere we use cancer incidence data from the Songkhla Cancer Registry to characterize and analyze the incidence of breast cancer in Southern Thailand. We use joinpoint analysis, age-period-cohort models and nordpred analysis to investigate the incidence of breast cancer in Southern Thailand from 1990 to 2010 and project future trends from 2010 to 2029.ResultsWe found that age-adjusted breast cancer incidence rates in Southern Thailand increased by almost 300% from 1990 to 2010 going from 10.0 to 27.8 cases per 100,000 person-years. Both period and cohort effects played a role in shaping the increase in incidence. Three distinct incidence projection methods consistently suggested that incidence rates will continue to increase in the future with incidence for women age 50 and above increasing at a higher rate than for women below 50.ConclusionsTo date, this is the first study to examine Thai breast cancer incidence from a regional registry. This study provides a basis for future planning strategies in breast cancer prevention and to guide hypotheses for population-based epidemiologic research in Thailand.  相似文献

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in women world-wide and the most common cause of cancer deaths, which can often be managed with early diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Here, we focus on geographic disparities in incidence within Portugal for three age groups of women (30−49; 50−69; 70−84 years).MethodsAge-period-cohort (APC) models are widely used in cancer surveillance, and these models have recently been extended to allow spatially-varying effects. We apply novel spatial APC models to estimate relative risk and age-adjusted temporal trends at the district level for the 20 districts in Portugal. Our model allows us to report on country-wide trends, but also to investigate geographic disparities between districts and trends within districts.ResultsAge-adjusted breast cancer incidence was increasing over 1998–2011 for all three age groups and in every district in Portugal. However, we detect spatially-structured between-district heterogeneity in relative risk and age-adjusted trends (Net Drifts) for each of the three age groups, which is most pronounced in the highly-screened (50−69yo) and late-onset (70−84yo) groups of women.ConclusionsWe present evidence of disparities in breast cancer incidence at a more granular geographic level than previously reported. Some disparities may be due to latent risk factors, which cannot be accounted for by age, birth year, and geographic location alone.ImpactOur study motivates resuming data collection for breast cancer incidence at the district level in Portugal, as well as the study of exogenous risk factors.  相似文献

BackgroundIn Australia, skin cancer awareness campaigns have focused on raising the awareness and consequences of skin cancer and highlighting the importance of utilising sun protection.MethodsTrends in melanoma incidence and mortality have been explored elsewhere in Australia and this study sought to examine the trends in NSW. Anonymised incidence and mortality data for in situ and invasive melanoma from 1988 to 2014 were obtained from the NSW Cancer Registry. Trends of melanoma incidence and mortality were analysed using segmented regression to allow for changes over time. Birth cohort patterns were assessed using age–period–cohort models.ResultsOver the period, incidence of in situ melanoma increased in all age groups although the rates were lowest in those under 40 years of age. Incidence of invasive melanoma was either stable or decreased in people under 60, while it increased in those aged 60 and above, particularly in men. Age–period–cohort analysis revealed decreasing age-specific incidence of invasive melanoma under 40 years of age. Melanoma mortality over the period was stable or decreased in all groups except in men aged 60 or over. Overall, mortality rates generally declined or remained stable particularly in recent years.ConclusionIt is encouraging that rates of invasive melanoma are declining in the younger age cohorts – which could be attributed to both primary prevention efforts with individuals protecting their skin as well as early detection through self assessment and clinician performed skin checks. In addition, whilst it is important to monitor the increasing rates of in situ melanoma, the increase is likely due to early detection and treatment of melanoma that could have progressed to invasive melanoma and therefore detection whilst still in situ is an improved outcome. Overall, the results demonstrate the need to continue to improve the understanding of and compliance with primary skin cancer prevention measures in order to reduce population UVR exposure and overall melanoma incidence.  相似文献

IntroductionRadical hysterectomy (RH) with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is the standard treatment for early stage cervical cancer which can be performed either by an abdominal or a minimally invasive (MIS) approach. In 2018, Ramirez et al. presented their randomized-controlled trial data which demonstrated that patients who were treated with minimally invasive surgical (MIS) radical hysterectomy (RH) had higher rates of locoregional disease recurrence and lower rates of overall survival when compared to patients treated with an abdominal approach. The objective of this study is to examine the trends in management of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer in New York State (NYS) and to analyze their perioperative outcomes.MethodsUsing the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) Database, patients undergoing RH for early stage cervical cancer in NYS between the years of 2007–2015 were identified and categorized based on surgical approach. Demographic information was collected and multivariable regression was conducted to assess the impact of hysterectomy approach on perioperative outcomes.ResultsIn NYS, 5575 patients were treated with RH for early stage cervical cancer with 3257 (58.4%) treated by abdominal RH and 2318 (41.6%) treated with MIS RH. Between the years of 2007 and 2015, patients diagnosed with cervical cancer treated with MIS RH increased from 25.7% to 48.3% respectively. Surgeons performing MIS RH were more likely to be younger (average age 47.1 vs 49.2, p < 0.001) and have less time elapsed from their fellowship graduation (20.37 vs 22.64 years, p < 0.001). Patients who saw high volume doctors (OR 1.95, CI 1.65–2.31) and were seen in high volume facilities (OR 1.40, CI 1.18–1.65) were more likely to undergo MIS RH compared to abdominal RH. Patients who underwent MIS RH were more likely to be discharged home as opposed to acute rehab or nursing facility, when compared to patients treated with abdominal RH (98.5 vs 94.2% p < 0.001). When analyzing perioperativce outcomes, patient undergoing MIS RH had a 85% decrease in length of hospital stay compared to abdominal RH, a 40% reduction in 30-day readmission rates, and a 10% reduction in hospital costs respectively.DiscussionIn our study period, between the years of 2007 and 2015, the number of cervical cancer cases treated with MIS RH increased from 25.7% to 48.3%. MIS techniques led to a reduction in length of hospital stay, patient readmission rates, and hospital costs. Based on recent data from Ramirez et al., preliminary data demonstrated decrease in MIS RH for treatment of cervical cancer after presentation of the LACC trial and our data confirmed these reported trends in NYS. With this change in surgical practice, there will be associated changes in perioperative outcomes. Moreover, for patients diagnosed with cervical cancer with microscopic disease or previous treatment with an excisions procedure, MIS approach should be considered for improvement in perioperative outcomes as long as oncologic outcomes are not compromised.  相似文献

Adipose tissue is a highly vascularized endocrine organ, and its secretion profiles may vary with obesity. Adiponectin is secreted by adipocytes that make up adipose tissue. Worldwide, obesity has been designated a serious health problem among women and is associated with a variety of metabolic disorders and an increased risk of developing cancer of the cervix, ovaries, uterus (uterine/endometrial), and breast. In this review, the potential link between obesity and female-specific malignancies is comprehensively presented by discussing significant features of the intriguing and complex molecule, adiponectin, with a focus on recent findings highlighting its molecular mechanism of action in female-specific carcinogenesis.  相似文献

BackgroundThe United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening among eligible adults, but information on screening use in the US territories is limited.MethodsTo estimate the proportion of adults up-to-date with breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening based on USPSTF recommendations, we analyzed Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from 2016, 2018, and 2020 for the 50 US states and DC (US) and US territories of Guam and Puerto Rico and from 2016 for the US Virgin Islands. Age-standardized weighted proportions for up-to-date cancer screening were examined overall and by select characteristics for each jurisdiction.ResultsOverall, 67.2% (95% CI: 60.6–73.3) of women aged 50–74 years in the US Virgin Islands, 74.8% (70.9–78.3) in Guam, 83.4% (81.7–84.9) in Puerto Rico, and 78.3% (77.9–78.6) in the US were up-to-date with breast cancer screening. For cervical cancer screening, 71.1% (67.6–74.3) of women aged 21–65 years in Guam, 81.3% (74.6–86.5) in the US Virgin Islands, 83.0% (81.7–84.3) in Puerto Rico, and 84.5% (84.3–84.8) in the US were up-to-date. For colorectal cancer screening, 45.2% (40.0–50.5) of adults aged 50–75 years in the US Virgin Islands, 47.3% (43.6–51.0) in Guam, 61.2% (59.5–62.8) in Puerto Rico, and 69.0% (68.7–69.3) in the US were up-to-date. Adults without health care coverage reported low test use for all three cancers in all jurisdictions. In most jurisdictions, test use was lower among adults with less than a high school degree and an annual household income of < $25,000.ConclusionCancer screening test use varied between the US territories, highlighting the importance of understanding and addressing territory-specific barriers. Test use was lower among groups without health care coverage and with lower income and education levels, suggesting the need for targeted evidence-based interventions.  相似文献

The number of involved lymph nodes exhibits considerable heterogeneity within populations. Here, the implications of population heterogeneity are explored with respect to the kinematics of nodal metastases. Data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program for 224656 breast, 12404 gastric, 18015 rectal, 4117 cervical and 2443 laryngeal cancers as well as 9118 melanomas were used to construct frequency distributions for the number of involved nodes which were then fitted to the negative binomial distribution. The negative binomial distribution described the heterogeneity in nodal involvement well. The patterns of nodal involvement can be explained by either of two models: one where involved nodes could seed further nodal metastases, the other where the number of nodal metastases in any individual was randomly distributed, with the deviations between patients accounted for by population heterogeneity. Since the number of sampled nodes similarly approximated a negative binomial distribution, random involvement with superimposed population heterogeneity would more credibly explain both sets of observations.  相似文献

It is challenge in epidemiology to characterize the temperol aspect of exposure-disease association. The authors propose a stochastic model to deal with exposures that are time-dependent and exhibit susceptibility and latency effects. The model is applied to a retrospective cohort data on lung cancer mortality in the blackfoot disease endemic area in Taiwan. The authors compare the proposed model with the multistage model, the back-calculation model, the catalytic model, and the age-period-cohort models.  相似文献

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) overall incidence has been decreasing in the last decade. However, there is evidence of an increasing frequency of early-onset CRC in young individuals in several countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the trends of CRC occurrence over 17 years in the municipality of Milan, Italy, focusing on early-onset CRC.Population and methodsThis retrospective study was performed using the Cancer Registry of the municipality of Milan, including all cases of CRC diagnosed 1999-2015. Incidence rates were stratified by age and anatomic subsite, and trends over time were measured using the estimated annual percentage change. Age-period-cohort modelling was used to disentangle the different effects.Results18,783 cases of CRC were included. CRC incidence rates among individuals aged 50–60 years declined annually by 3% both in colon and in rectal cancer. Conversely, in adults younger than 50 years, overall CRC occurrence increased annually by 0.7%, with a diverging trend for colon (+2.6%) and rectal (−5.3%) cancer. Among individuals aged 60 years and older, CRC incidence rates increased by 1.0% annually up to 2007, and decrease thereafter by 4% per year, both for colon and rectal cancer. Age-period-cohort models showed a reduction of CRC risk for the cohorts born up to 1979, followed by an increase in younger cohorts. In contrast, rectal cancer among women showed a systematic risk decrease for all birth cohorts.ConclusionsThe study highlights increasing incidence of colon cancer in younger subjects and a decrease in incidence rates for rectal cancer in females.  相似文献

We consider forecasting from age-period-cohort models, as wellas from the extended chain-ladder model. The parameters of thesemodels are known only to be identified up to linear trends.Forecasts from such models may therefore depend on arbitrarylinear trends. A condition for invariant forecasts is proposed.A number of standard forecast models are analysed.  相似文献

BackgroundCancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and the estimated annual spending associated with cancer is approximately $7.5 billion. Projecting the future burden of cancer in Canada is essential for health planning and evaluation. We aimed to estimate the future incidence of cancer in Canada to 2042.MethodsAge-sex-region-specific cancer incidence data were obtained for the years 1983-2012 and cancer incidence was projected from 2013 to 2042 for the top five cancer sites. The modelling algorithm combined a mixture of cancer projection methods to select the best-fitted model. When the chosen model produced by the modelling algorithm resulted in estimates that were not consistent with expert opinion, an alternate model was selected that took into consideration historical changes in policy, screening and lifestyle behaviours. Incidence projections were made for Canada and its provinces.ResultsLung cancer incidence is estimated to rise to 14,866 cases in men and 19,162 in women in 2042. Colorectal cancer incidence is estimated to rise to 28,146 in men and 21,102 in women. Cases of bladder cancer are projected to rise to 10,708 and 3,364 in men and women, respectively. Breast cancer incidence is predicted to rise to 40,712 and prostate cancer incidence is projected to rise to 92,949.ConclusionThese cancer incidence projections up to 2042 can be used for planning cancer control strategies and prevention programs. Given the ongoing changes in the prevalence of risk factors and in cancer prevention policies, these estimates should be interpreted with caution.  相似文献

BackgroundIt is known that socioeconomic status (SES) influences the outcome of cancer treatment and this could partly be explained by decreased use of cancer screening services by people of lower SES. Many studies have indicated that low SES, including low educational attainment or unstable employment, was related to nonparticipation in cancer screening. However, studies investigating trends in SES inequalities within cancer screening participation are limited. Our objective was to examine trends in SES inequalities in cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening participation among women in Japan between 2010 and 2019.MethodsWe analyzed 189,442, 168,571, 163,341, and 150,828 women in 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019 respectively, using nationally representative cross-sectional surveys. The main outcome variables are participation in each cancer screening. We used educational attainment and employment status as measures for SES. Multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age, marital status, educational attainment, and employment status was performed to evaluate the associations between SES and nonparticipation in each cancer screening.ResultsOverall participation rates in each cancer screening increased between 2010 and 2019. Low educational attainment and non-permanent employment status were related to nonparticipation in each cancer screening and inequality according to employment status increased within each screening participation during the study period. For example, dispatched workers were more likely to not participate in cervical cancer screening than permanent workers: in 2010, [aOR 1.11 95 %CI: 1.01 –1.21], and in 2019, [aOR 1.46 95 %CI: 1.34–1.60]. The inequality was greatest in colorectal cancer screening nonparticipation, followed by breast and cervical screening.ConclusionsAlthough the participation rates in each cancer screening have increased, inequality in participation in terms of employment status widened among women in Japan between 2010 and 2019. Reducing inequalities in cancer screening participation is essential for cancer screening intervention policies.  相似文献

Rodent mammary tumors induced by chemical carcinogens have proven to be very useful in the genetic analysis of initiation, promotion and progression of mammary carcinogenesis. We are studying rat mammary carcinomas induced by the chemical carcinogen, N-nitroso-N-methylurea. The earliest genetic event observed in the mammary gland is the activation of Ha-ras oncogenes, which is followed by promotion of the initiated cells by hormones involved in puberty. Preferential amplification of the mutated Ha-ras allele, of PRAD-1 and IGF2, loss of expression of the mitogenic growth factor gene, MK, and mutation in the tumor suppressor gene, p53, are seen in the mammary tumors during tumor progression.  相似文献

Cancer results from the accumulation of alterations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Tumor suppressors are classically defined as genes which contribute to tumorigenesis if their function is lost. Genetic or epigenetic alterations inactivating such genes may arise during somatic cell divisions or alternatively may be inherited from a parent. One notable exception to this rule is the BRCA1 tumor suppressor that predisposes to hereditary breast cancer when lost. Genetic alterations of this gene are hardly ever observed in sporadic breast cancer, while individuals harboring a germline mutation readily accumulate a second alteration inactivating the remaining allele—a finding which represents a conundrum in cancer genetics. In this paper, we present a novel mathematical framework of sporadic and hereditary breast tumorigenesis. We study the dynamics of genetic alterations driving breast tumorigenesis and explore those scenarios which can explain the absence of somatic BRCA1 alterations while replicating all other disease statistics. Our results support the existence of a heterozygous phenotype of BRCA1 and suggest that the loss of one BRCA1 allele may suppress the fitness advantage caused by the inactivation of other tumor suppressor genes. This paper contributes to the mathematical investigation of breast tumorigenesis.  相似文献

Background and aimsBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in this population. Breast cancer related deaths have declined due to screening and adjuvant therapies, yet a driving clinical need exists to better understand the cause of the deadliest aspect of breast cancer, metastatic disease. Breast cancer metastasizes to several distant organs, the liver being the third most common site. To date, very few murine models of hepatic breast cancer exist.MethodsIn this study, a novel murine model of liver breast cancer using the MDA-MB-231 cell line is introduced as an experimental (preclinical) model.ResultsHistological typing revealed consistent hepatic breast cancer tumor foci. Common features of the murine model were vascular invasion, lung metastasis and peritoneal seeding.ConclusionsThe novel murine model of hepatic breast cancer established in this study provides a tool to be used to investigate mechanisms of hepatic metastasis and to test potential therapeutic interventions.  相似文献

BackgroundBladder cancer is closely related to occupational carcinogens, and China is undergoing a rapid industrialization. However, trend of bladder cancer incidence and mortality remains unknown in China.MethodsIncidence and mortality rates of bladder cancer (1990–2017) were collected for each 5-year age group stratified by gender (males/females) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) of rates were analyzed by joinpoint regression analysis; age, period and cohort effects on incidence and mortality were simultaneously estimated by age-period-cohort model.ResultsThrough 1990–2017, age-standardized incidence rates significantly rose in men (AAPC = 0.72%, 95% CI: 0.5%, 0.9%) while decreased in women (-1.25%: -1.6%, -0.9%); age-standardized mortality rates decreased in both men (-1.09%: -1.2%, -0.9%) and women (-2.48%: -2.8%, -2.2%). The joinpoint regression analysis showed the mortality almost decreased in all age groups; while the incidence increased in men for older age groups (from 45 to 49 to 80–84). Moreover, age effect showed the incidence and mortality increased with age; the incidence and mortality increased with time period, while in women period effect stop decreasing and began to increase since 2007; cohort effect showed them decreased with birth cohorts.ConclusionsThe incidence of bladder cancer is increasing in men but mortality decreases in both sexes. Both the incidence and mortality in men substantially increase with age and period, while the rates in women increased with period since 2007. The period effect may indicate the increased risks to bladder cancer in Chinese men. Etiological studies are needed to identify the factors driving these trends of bladder cancer.  相似文献

Metastasis of cancer cells is the main cause of death in most breast cancer patients. Although markers for early diagnosis and drugs that limit the spread of cancer to other organs have been developed, it is difficult to prevent the relapse of breast cancer. Recent research has highlighted the importance of tumor environment in which communication between tumor cells and the body system occurs. Emerging data have suggested that animal models are a good system to investigate this communication. Therefore, studies with mouse models have been developed as a reasonable method for a systemic approach to understand breast cancer metastasis. In this review, we summarize mouse models of breast cancer and their applications to the study of human breast cancers, and discuss limitation of model system and advanced techniques to overcome it.  相似文献

AimThe goal of this study was to determine whether a delay in starting treatment via surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is related to a decrease in cancer-specific survival (CSS) in women with operable breast cancer (BrCr).BackgroundLimited medical infrastructure and a lack of cancer prevention awareness in low- and middle-income countries have caused high BrCr incidence and mortality rates.MethodsWe analyzed a retrospective cohort of 720 women treated at a single center from 2005 to 2012. CSS estimates were obtained by the Kaplan-Meier method. A Cox model of proportional risks was performed to obtain the risk of dying from BrCr. We also obtained the risk according to the category of treatment initiation.ResultsWomen with locally advanced stages and without hormone receptor expression were more likely to initiate treatment after 45 days. Patients in Stage IIIA had a 78.1% survival if treatment was initiated before 45 days (95% CI, 0.70–0.84) and 63.6% survival if treatment was started after 45 days (95% CI, 0.44–0.78; p < 0.001). Patients in Stage IIIB had a 62.9% survival if treatment was initiated before 45 days (95% CI, 0.53–0.72) and 57.4% survival if treatment started after 45 days (95% CI, 0.31-0.89; p < 0.001). Prognostic factors in which lower survival was recognized were Stage IIIA, Stage IIIB, treatment initiation after 45 days, and triple-negative tumors.ConclusionsThe initiation of treatment within the first 45 days of diagnosis of BrCr in women portends better survival compared with those who began treatment longer than 45 days from diagnosis.  相似文献
