Summary: This study analyzed bladder cancer mortality trends in Spain from 1999 to 2018. The mortality rate for men decreased in all age groups, while for women, it only decreased in the age group of 75 years and older. Men had a greater impact on years of potential life lost. Despite a decline in mortality rate, bladder cancer continues to have a significant impact on years of potential life lost.

Summary: Our study aimed to estimate the epidemiological trends of gastric cancer in the United States from 1992 to 2019. We found that the incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer have declined in the past decades, but the proportion of distant gastric cancer cases has unexpectedly increased. The progression of primary and tertiary preventive measures is the main reason for the reduction in the disease burden of gastric cancer. However, secondary preventive measures for gastric cancer still need to be strengthened.

Summary: This study analyzed trends in penile cancer incidence, mortality, and relative survival in Lithuania from 1998 to 2017. The results showed an increasing incidence rate of penile cancer in Lithuania, but a decreasing mortality rate. One-year and five-year relative survival rates of patients with penile cancer improved over time, but were still lower than those in Northern European countries.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the global patterns and trends of lung cancer. The burden of lung cancer is still unsatisfactory, especially in developing countries like China. The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer vary among different countries and regions, with higher rates in men than in women. In developed countries such as the USA, the incidence of lung cancer has been decreasing, while in China, it has been increasing, particularly among individuals aged 50 to 59 years. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen health education, accelerate the establishment of tobacco control policies and regulations, and improve early cancer screening awareness to reduce the future burden of lung cancer.

Summary: Thyroid cancer incidence rates have declined since 2014, with similar declines noted for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), localized disease, and tumors <= 1.0 cm, but not for tumors >2.0 cm. Incidence-based mortality rates continue to increase. These findings suggest changes in the management of thyroid nodules may have led to a decrease in the diagnosis of small indolent tumors, but not more advanced tumors.

Summary: This study estimated the incidence of breast cancer in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 1996 to 2015 using data from the Ho Chi Minh City Cancer Registry. The results showed an increase in the incidence of breast cancer, especially among women. The age-standardized rate (ASR) indicated a significant increase in breast cancer incidence between 2011 and 2015.

Summary: This study examined disparities and trends in the incidence and mortality rates of the four major genitourinary cancers (bladder, kidney, prostate, and testis) in the USA. The study found gender, racial/ethnic, and regional differences in the incidence and mortality rates of these cancers, as well as unfavorable trends. This study is important for understanding the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of these tumors.

Summary: Cervical cancer burden is correlated with socioeconomic development, with most countries showing stable or decreasing trends in incidence and mortality rates, especially in those with effective screening programs and HPV vaccination. Predicted trends for the next 15 years were consistent with observed trends among analyzed countries.

Summary: The incidence and mortality rates of childhood cancer vary between different countries. This study used data from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Time Trends, Nordic Cancer Registries, Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results, and WHO Mortality databases to extract the Age-Standardised Rates (ASR) of cancer incidence and mortality among children aged 0-14 years old. The country-specific Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to determine the epidemiological cancer trend. The results showed that low-income countries had the highest mortality and mortality to incidence ratio of childhood cancer. The incidence of childhood cancer showed an overall increasing trend, while the mortality rate decreased over the past decade.

Summary: South Africa has seen disparities in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality trends across different population groups and sexes over the past decade, with a concerning rapid increase observed in the Black population group. Further investigation and enhanced efforts in cancer prevention, early screening, diagnosis, and access to treatment are needed to address these disparities.

Summary: Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Its incidence and mortality rates are associated with Human Development Index, Gross Domestic Products, and smoking prevalence. Most countries show increasing trends in lung cancer incidence and mortality among females, but decreasing trends among males. Measures to control the increasing trends among females and early cancer detection should be implemented in these regions.

Summary: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies involving the urinary system worldwide, with about 1.65 million cases. A study in Taiwan from 1997 to 2016 shows a consistent downward trend in bladder cancer incidence rates, projecting a further decline to over 25% from 2016 to 2025 in both men and women.
