For all cancers combined, the geographic heterogeneities were limited, though relevant for specific cancers (e. g., prostate, showing >30% higher prevalence in the United States, or lung, showing >50% higher prevalence in USA women than in other countries). For all countries, the correlations...
Definition of the variables HIV infection was defined as being laboratory-confirmed using Western blot. As is widely accepted [20, 21], cancers were categorized as ADCs (Kaposi's sarcoma, KS; non- Hodgkin's lymphoma, NHL; and cervical cancer) or NADCs (cancers of the lung, liver, kidney...
The Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996 of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery enabled me to visit Barnes Hospital at the Washington University of St. Louis, USA, from May to July 1996. At that center Prof. J. D. Cooper has established lung-volume reduction surgery as a...
Speckle-type POZ (SPOP) is described as an essential tumor suppressor factor in gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer (PCa). SPOP gene mut

1 Anaemia in pregnancy is associated with increased rates of preterm labour, postpartum haemorrhage, low birthweight, short gestation, stillbirth, and infections for both child and mother.2 Anaemia in children is linked with impaired cognitive and motor development and susceptibility to infections, ...
The prevalence of smokers is a major driver of lung cancer incidence in a population, though the “exposure–lag” effects are ill-defined. Here we present a multi-country ecological modelling study using a 30-year smoking prevalence history to quantify the exposure–lag response. To model the...
HIV-infected individuals could be at a greater risk for developing lung cancer than the general population due to the higher prevalence in the former of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the oral cavity and higher smoking rates. Our aim was to assess HPV pre
The clinical characteristics of 10,194 patients enrolled in this study are summarized in Table1. The cohort (Supplementary Fig.1, Table1) included non-small cell lung cancer (N = 2039, 20.0%), colorectal cancer (N = 1225, 12.0%), hepatocellular carcinoma (N = 1133, 11.1%)...
Survival among NHL, oral cavity, and lung cancer cases was 0.4, 0.8, and 0.3 years, respectively; the risk of death was approximately two times higher for each of these cancers when compared to other cancers. Given the high burden of cancer and HIV in DC, early highly active antiretroviral...
