recorded in males, with lung cancer (1,368,524 cases, 14.5%), prostate cancer (1,276,106 cases, 13.5%), colorectal cancer (1,026,215 cases, 10.9% %), stomach cancer (683,754 cases, 7.2%), and liver cancer (596,574 cases, 6.3%) were the five most common canc...
Since the mortality rates for female cancer in general are declining, and since the incidence is increasing more steeply than the mortality among the men, the number of living elderly ever diagnosed with a cancer will further increase during the next years. Therefore, it is important to ...
In particular, five out of 29 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia had worked in electrical trades. The more common cancers were studied by statistical techniques. A large number of possible occupational associations were examined, and some will probably have achieved conventional levels of statistical...
Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975–2005, Featuring Trends in Lung Cancer, Tobacco Use, and Tobacco Control These decreases were driven largely by declines in both incidence and death rates for the three most common cancers in men (lung, colorectum, and ... A ...
World-wide, prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the commonest cancers in men affecting 33 % of global burden. The prostate biopsy remains invasive method for detecting PCa and currently, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is considered as one of the best available tumor marker for detecting PC...
The most common three types of skin cancers are named for their presumed cell of origin: the keratinocyte derived cancers (KC) basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and the melanocyte-derived melanoma. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a key risk factor for ...
Several recent reports have suggested that colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger patients. For example, a global study found an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer in adults under 50 years of age in 19 out of the 36 countries examined, nine of which had a stable or...
The total number of new cancer cases (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) was 8.1 million, just over half of which occur in the developing countries. The most common cancer in the world today is lung cancer, accounting for 18% of cancers of men worldwide, and 21% of cancers in men in...
Lymphoma is also one of the common cancers worldwide and in China, with chronic infections (e.g. Epstein-Barr virus) and certain occupational exposures to pesticides being the most well-established risk factors [33]. To date, four prospective studies, with 100–1300 cases each, have investigat...
. Driver mutations increase the fitness of cells that they reside in and are assumed to be under positive selection during the multistage neoplastic progression. This selection should result in driver mutations occurring more frequently in tumor samples; hence, the most common approach for identifying...
