Summary: Golestan province in Iran is a high-risk area for esophageal and gastric cancers. The incidence rates of esophageal cancer have significantly decreased from 2004 to 2018, while the incidence rates of gastric cancer showed a less marked and nonsignificant decline. The decline in esophageal cancer incidence is attributed to generational changes in risk factors. However, the population in Golestan still faces a high risk of both esophageal and gastric cancers.

Summary: Esophageal cancer, particularly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), has significantly increased in Taiwan over the past thirty years. This increase may be attributed to changes in risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and betel nut chewing. Early detection and prevention are crucial for high-risk patients.

Summary: This study analyzed the long-term trends of nasopharynx cancer (NPC) incidence and mortality in China. The findings showed an increase in incidence rate but a decrease in mortality rate over the past three decades. The study also highlighted the age and gender differences in NPC incidence. This research emphasizes the need to enhance control and prevention efforts for NPC.

Summary: This study describes the trend in incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer (EC) in China. The overall incidence and mortality of EC showed an increased and then decreased trend from 1990 to 2019, with a decrease in AAPC values. The RR of incidence and mortality of EC in China is greatly affected by age in both sexes, and by time period in males.

Summary: In the Western population, the incidence of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has decreased while the incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) has increased. A study in the Netherlands found that the incidence of OSCC slightly decreased for men and increased for women, while OAC showed a significant increase, especially in men. Future projections indicate a continuing increase in OAC incidence.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Taiwan. The incidence rate has doubled in 20 years. A study projected that the incidence rate will continue to increase but will plateau in 2031. Most future cases will be older women aged 55 and above. Education and mammography screening are needed. These findings have implications for other countries with similar breast cancer trends.

Summary: The incidence of cancer in Chinese older adults aged 60 and above is decreasing, but it remains at a relatively high level. The key targets for prevention and treatment in the future should be males, urban areas, younger people, older adults aged 60-69, and lung, gastrointestinal, and breast cancers.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemiological features and temporal trends of pancreatic cancer in urban Shanghai from 1973 to 2017. The results showed upward trends in both incidence and mortality rates, with a greater increase among females for incidence. Age, period, and birth cohort were found to have significant effects on the prevalence of pancreatic cancer. The findings highlight the necessity and urgency for additional efforts in primary and secondary prevention measures.

Summary: Cirrhosis is a major public health concern globally, with increasing incidence, deaths, and DALY cases from 1990 to 2019. Hepatitis virus infection is the most important risk factor for cirrhosis mortality, accounting for over 45% of cases and deaths. The proportion of cirrhosis incidence due to HBV has decreased, while that due to alcohol use and NAFLD has increased.

Summary: This study investigated the trends in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in Taiwan from 2002 to 2016 and found that the incidence of both diseases is associated with older age and early birth cohorts. The results suggest that elderly individuals in Taiwan may be at a higher risk of developing new-onset psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Summary: The study found that breast cancer incidence rates were higher in Los Angeles compared to Shanghai and Hong Kong. In recent years, there has been a decrease in breast cancer incidence rates among white women in Los Angeles, while rates in Shanghai and Hong Kong have been increasing. Age and period effects have a significant impact on breast cancer incidence rates, while the birth cohort effect has decreased.

Summary: This study examines the global patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma in 2020 and predicts the future incidence and mortality burden. The findings show that males have consistently higher incidence and mortality rates across different regions. Incidence rates vary significantly by regions, with the highest rates observed in Southern Europe, while mortality rates are elevated in Western Asia and Northern Africa. The study predicts an increase in the number of cases by 2040.

Summary: HIV substantially worsens HPV carcinogenicity and contributes to excess cervical cancer cases, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Quantifying cervical cancer burden by age and HIV status can inform prevention efforts in this region. HIV has a greater impact on younger women and HIV-attributable cases tend to shift towards younger age groups.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of premature death in the Newly Independent States, while cancer is the main cause of premature death in the European Union. The NIS has achieved significant reductions in premature cardiovascular disease mortality, but the death probabilities remain five times higher compared to the EU. Limited progress has been made in reducing cancer mortality in the NIS, except for Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, which are on track to meet the 2030 target.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the global burden of ovarian cancer and predicts the future burden, particularly in low Human Development Index (HDI) countries. It shows geographic variations in incidence and mortality rates, with higher burden in low HDI countries. The study highlights the need for global action to reduce the burden and inequality of ovarian cancer in access to quality cancer care and treatment.

Summary: Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men of European ancestry and has been increasing in incidence, although mortality rates have been declining in high-income settings. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 44, with the highest incidence rates in Western, Northern, and Southern Europe and Oceania, and the lowest rates in Asia and Africa. Mortality rates are highest in Central and South America, and lowest in Northern Europe, Northern Africa, and Eastern Asia. There is significant variation in incidence and mortality rates among different countries.

Summary: Global patterns of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in 2020 were evaluated using the GLOBOCAN 2020 database. The study found that Eastern Asia, Northern America, and South-Central Asia had the highest number of NHL cases. Incidence rates were higher in men than in women, with the highest rates in Australia, New Zealand, Northern America, Northern Europe, and Western Europe. The highest mortality rates were found in regions in Africa, Western Asia, and Oceania.

Summary: Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA), caused by HPV, has a higher incidence in persons living with HIV (PLWHIV). Globally, the number of female SCCA cases is twice that of males, with a higher burden in countries with a very high Human Development Index (HDI). Approximately 21% of male SCCA cases globally occur in PLWHIV, while only about 3% of female SCCA cases occur in this population.

Summary: Using the World Health Organization mortality database, this study examines patterns and trends in cancer mortality rates for eight common forms of cancer in 47 countries across five continents (except Africa). The results show significant variations in cancer-specific mortality rates among countries, with infection-related and tobacco-related cancers having the largest differences. Most countries have seen a decrease in overall cancer mortality rates, except for lung cancer in females and liver cancer in males. The findings emphasize the importance of implementing targeted cancer prevention and control programs globally to reduce the growing cancer burden.

Summary: There are significant disparities in cancer incidence and mortality based on area-level socioeconomic status (SES) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A clear SES-cancer gradient was observed in the city of Sao Paulo, with higher SES areas having higher cancer incidence rates. In the Barretos region, there was no significant social gradient for cancer mortality. In Sao Paulo, higher SES was associated with higher incidence rates for colorectal, lung, female breast, and prostate cancer, while lower SES was associated with higher incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer in both regions.
