Summary: This study estimated the economic burden of pancreatic cancer in Sweden, projecting an increase in burden by 2030 due to the rising incidence of the disease and changing demographics. Pancreatic cancer poses a growing healthcare challenge that requires advancements in prevention, early detection, treatment, and disease control.

Summary: From 1988 to 2012, there was a persistent decrease in gastric cancer incidence rates worldwide. However, it is predicted that by 2030, the incidence rates will continue to decline or remain stable in most countries, except for Ecuador and Lithuania, where the rates are expected to increase substantially.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the potential impact of overweight on non-communicable diseases in the Brazilian adult population and proposed prevention measures. The results showed that without policy interventions, the burden of overweight-related diseases in Brazil is expected to increase.

Summary: This study predicts the disease burden and economic burden trends of diabetes in China from 2020 to 2030, and explores the spatial disparities. Bayesian modeling is used to estimate the prevalence and disability-adjusted life-year rates over time. The results show an increase in diabetes prevalence and economic burden, with strong spatial aggregation in northern Chinese regions. The economic burden of diabetes is projected to grow faster than the country's GDP.

Summary: We projected the global trends in ischemic stroke from 2020 to 2030 by age, sex, and socio-demographic index. The incidence rates of ischemic stroke were projected to increase across all age groups and socio-demographic index quintiles, with higher rates among women. However, the associated death and disability-adjusted life years rates were projected to decrease globally. The projections indicated a need for countries with a low socio-demographic index to be aware of potential increases in the age-standardized death and disability-adjusted life years due to ischemic stroke.

Summary: This study examined the clinical characteristics, incidence, mortality, and prevalence of lung cancer in Denmark from 2006 to 2015, and projected the future epidemiological profile through 2030. The findings suggest a shift towards earlier diagnosis and lower stages of lung cancer, as well as an increase in incidence and a decrease in mortality rates. It is projected that the number of prevalent lung cancer cases in Denmark will likely continue to increase significantly by the end of 2030.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) has varying incidence and mortality rates globally. This study reveals that Eastern Asia, particularly China, has the highest number of cases and deaths from NPC. Incidence and mortality rates are approximately three times higher in men compared to women. In terms of global incidence rates, South-Eastern Asia has the highest rates.

Summary: This study examined the procedural burden of interventions for arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) during their maturation and maintenance phases in hemodialysis patients in the United States. The results showed that interventions were relatively common during maturation, but AVFs had lower maintenance intervention requirements once successfully matured. Geographic variations in intervention rates for AVF were observed during both maturation and maintenance phases, warranting further investigation.

Summary: This study developed a prognostic model for older adults with advanced cancer based on geriatric assessment and compared its performance to alternative models. The results showed that the geriatric assessment model had moderate discrimination and improved calibration for survival prediction. Further research is needed to optimize the use of geriatric assessment-based prognostic models in older adults with advanced cancer.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between longitudinal changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and survival among early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The results showed that longitudinal changes in ESAS scores were significantly associated with worse survival, and other factors including age, tumor diameter, gender, and smoking status were also significantly associated with worse survival.

Summary: Most cancer patients are willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Those willing to accept the vaccine have more confidence in its effectiveness and safety. Older individuals, those with greater perceived severity of COVID-19 infection, practicing more risk mitigation behaviors, and a history of receiving the flu shot are more likely to accept the vaccine.

Summary: This study assessed the perspectives of oncology providers and professionals on the barriers and facilitators of implementing suicide risk screening for patients with head and neck cancer. Multilevel implementation barriers were identified, such as patient difficulty with using a tablet, limited nursing engagement, limited clinic Wi-Fi connectivity, and low clinician self-efficacy for interpreting and acting upon patient-reported outcome scores. Participants recommended strengthening patient and clinician education and providing alternative data entry modalities for patients.

Summary: This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on catch-up HPV vaccination among adults aged 18-45 in the US. The results showed that 8.6% of adults intending to get the HPV vaccine experienced pandemic-related vaccination disruption, with 14.7% reporting uncertainty about the disruption. Factors associated with a higher likelihood of disruption included non-English language preference, being a parent/guardian, healthcare visits in the past year, up-to-date tetanus vaccination, and being a cancer survivor.

Summary: We evaluated the adherence to low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) among people with HIV (PWH) treated at University of Florida (UF). Out of the identified PWH who underwent at least one LDCT procedure, only 12% were adherent to LDCT. Poor adherence to lung cancer screening was observed, with only 25% of PWH diagnosed with category 4A being adherent.

Summary: The study examined the self-reported HPV vaccination uptake and intentions among US adults aged 18 to 26 and 27 to 45 years. It found that factors such as provider recommendation and positive attitudes towards the vaccine were associated with vaccination uptake. However, there was a low intention to receive the HPV vaccine in the next year among those who did not report prior vaccination. Targeted interventions are needed to improve vaccination rates in these age groups.

Summary: This study aimed to compare delays in cancer treatment initiation between people living with HIV (PLWH) and cancer, the general cancer population (GCP), and patients with cancer and a history of solid organ transplant (SOT). The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, PLWH experienced significant delays in cancer treatment initiation, which may negatively impact cancer outcomes.

Summary: Although lung cancer is a leading cause of death among people living with HIV (PLWH), limited research exists characterizing real-world lung cancer screening adherence among PLWH. Our study found that PLWH have poorer adherence to LDCT screenings compared to their HIV-negative counterparts.
