BACKGROUND
In the first CONCORD study, 5‐year survival for patients with diagnosed with rectal cancer between 1990 and 1994 was <60%, with large racial disparities noted in the majority of participating states. We have updated these findings to 2009 by examining population‐based survival by stage of disease at the time of diagnosis, race, and calendar period.
METHODS
Data from the CONCORD‐2...
BACKGROUND
Reducing breast cancer incidence and achieving equity in breast cancer outcomes remains a priority for public health practitioners, health care providers, policy makers, and health advocates. Monitoring breast cancer survival can help evaluate the effectiveness of health services, quantify inequities in outcomes between states or population subgroups, and inform efforts to improve the...
BACKGROUND
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are rare tumors in the general population but are the most commonly occurring malignancy among males between ages 15 and 44 years in the United States (US). Although non‐Hispanic whites (NHWs) have the highest incidence in the US, rates among Hispanics have increased the most in recent years. To forecast what these incidence rates may be in the future,...
BACKGROUND
During the last decade, an inverse stage migration has been observed in radical prostatectomy series at tertiary centers. However, it remains unclear whether similar trends can also be observed in solely robotic practices, including nonreferral centers. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and pathological trends in robotic‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) enrollment...
BACKGROUND
The authors' systematic review indicated an increasing trend in the risk of second primary cancers (SPCs) from the 1980s to 2000 when considering studies from the United States and Australia. It is uncertain whether this trend has continued to increase since 2000.
METHODS
The current study was a population‐based study of 51,802 individuals with adult‐onset cancers identified in the Tasmanian...
BACKGROUND
Outcomes have improved significantly in multiple myeloma (MM), but racial disparities in health care access and survival exist. A comprehensive analysis exploring MM care and racial disparities is warranted.
METHODS
Patients with MM from 1991 to 2010 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results‐Medicare database were evaluated for racial trends in clinical myeloma‐defining events...
BACKGROUND
Temporal trends in prostate cancer incidence and death rates have been attributed to changing patterns of screening and improved treatment (mortality only), among other factors. This study evaluated contemporary national‐level trends and their relations with prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing prevalence and explored trends in incidence according to disease characteristics with stage‐specific,...
BACKGROUND
The American Cancer Society (ACS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) collaborate to provide annual updates on cancer occurrence and trends in the United States.
METHODS
Incidence data were obtained from the CDC‐funded and NCI‐funded population‐based cancer...
Background
Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are rare but deadly cancers (gallbladder cancer [GBC], intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC], extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ECC], and ampulla of Vater cancer [AVC]). A recent US study reported increasing GBC incidence among people younger than 45 years and blacks; however, it did not examine trends for other biliary tract sites.
Methods
This study characterized...
Background
In the United States, incidence and mortality rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are increasing in older individuals. Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) are important causes of HCC; however, the contribution of viral hepatitis to recent trends in HCC incidence among older Americans is unclear.
Methods
Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology,...
Background
The American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer Institute, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries collaborate to provide annual updates on cancer occurrence and trends in the United States.
Methods
Data on new cancer diagnoses during 2001 through 2016 were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‐funded...
Background
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICCs) and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ECCs) are highly lethal bile duct tumors. Their incidence can be difficult to estimate because of changes in cancer coding over time. No studies to date have examined their global incidence and trends with high‐quality topography‐ and histology‐specific cancer registry data. Therefore, this study examined ICC...
BACKGROUND
Improvements in cancer survival mean that an increasing number of survivors may live long enough beyond their initial cancer to be diagnosed with additional independent primary cancers. The proportion of newly diagnosed cancers that are second‐ or higher‐order primaries and how this proportion has changed over the past several decades were examined.
METHODS
Data from the Surveillance,...
Background
Marked reductions in childhood cancer mortality occurred over the last decades in high‐income countries and, to a lesser degree, in middle‐income countries. This study aimed to monitor mortality trends in the Americas and Australasia, focusing on areas showing unsatisfactory trends.
Methods
Age‐standardized mortality rates per 100,000 children (aged 0‐14 years) from 1990 to 2017 (or...
Background
Incidence rates of pediatric cancers in the United States are typically reported in 5‐year age groups, obscuring variation by single year of age. Additionally, racial and ethnic variation in incidence is typically presented in broad categories rather than by narrow age ranges.
Methods
The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18 data (2000‐2017) were examined to calculate...
Background
The incidence rate of breast cancer has been increasing over time across race/ethnicity in the United States. It is unclear whether these trends differ among stage, poverty, and geography subgroups.
Methods
Using data from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, this study estimated trends in age‐adjusted breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 50 to 84 years...
Background
Disparities in cancer incidence have not been described for urban American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. The purpose of the present study was to examine incidence rates (2008‐2017) and trends (1999‐2017) for leading cancers in urban non‐Hispanic AI/AN (NH AI/AN) compared to non‐Hispanic White (NHW) populations living in the same urban areas.
Methods
Incident cases from population‐based...
Background
Recent data have shown divergent trends in gastric cancer (GC) incidence between China and Japan; however, the cause for has not been explored.
Methods
We retrieved GC incidence data from 1990 to 2019 from the Global Burden of Disease study, stratified by sex for both countries. We analyzed annual average percentage change (AAPC) via a joinpoint regression model and estimated the effects...
