Temporal trends in loss of life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis among the Australian population
ConclusionWhile reduced impact of a cancer diagnosis on LOLE over time is encouraging, the growing number of cancer survivors in Australia is likely to pose complex challenges for cancer patients, their care givers, and health-care systems. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Changes in lung cancer survival by TNM stage in the Basque country from 2003 to 2014 according to period of diagnosis
ConclusionsSurvival from lung cancer by stage in the Basque Country has lengthened significantly across all disease stages. Nonetheless, since we estimated that lung cancer patients still have significantly lower mean survival times than the general population, there is a need for more research to improve these outcomes.

Body mass index and risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer: A 30-year follow-up of the Linxian dysplasia nutrition intervention trial cohort
ConclusionOverweight/obesity was associated with decreased risk of ESCC in this dysplasia population, particularly in women and persons who had a family history of cancer. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Colorectal screening using the immunochemical faecal occult blood test kit among the Malaysian cohort participants
ConclusionsThe awareness of CRC risk and iFOBT screening are important strategies for early detection of CRC. We showed a CRC detection rate of 0.3 % among those who volunteered to have the iFOBT screening. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Cervical cancer screening in the Canadian armed forces: An estimation of screening participation rates using the CF-HERO surveillance system
ConclusionsCervical cancer screening rates amongst CAF members are currently below recommended guidelines and appear to be declining. These trends mirror those observed more widely in the general Canadian population, and may be a consequence of recent changes to guidelines for both cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV) screening.

Cervical cancer screening behaviors and proximity to federally qualified health centers in South Carolina
ConclusionsIncreased travel distance significantly increased the likelihood of cervical cancer screening at two FQHC sites while significantly decreasing the likelihood of screening at the 3rd site.These findings underscore the importance of contextual and environmental factors that impact use of cervical cancer screening services.

Breast tumor tissue inflammation but not lobular involution is associated with survival among breast cancer patients in the Multiethnic Cohort
ConclusionsThese results suggest that strong expression of inflammatory markers in breast tissue predicts a poorer prognosis possibly due to a system-wide state of chronic inflammation. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Childhood cancer in India
Publication date: Available online 6 February 2020Source: Cancer EpidemiologyAuthor(s): Shuvadeep Ganguly, Sally Kinsey, Sameer BakhshiAbstractIndia has made significant improvement in childhood cancer services in last few decades. However, the outcome still remains modest as compared to global standards due to significant barriers in recognition, diagnosis and cure.Data regarding comprehensive childhood cancer burden in country is lacking due to low and urban predominant coverage of population-based cancer registry programs. The available data shows lower incidence of childhood cancer incidence especially in leukaemia and...
