Summary: This study comprehensively analyzed the incidence, risk factors, and trends of small intestinal cancer by sex, age, and country. It found a significant geographic disparity in the burden of small intestinal cancer, with higher incidence in countries with higher human development index, gross domestic product, and prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle habits, metabolic disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease. The study also revealed an overall increasing trend in small intestinal cancer incidence.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the global geographic patterns and temporal trends in the mortality and incidence of oesophageal cancer. The results show that the mortality and incidence trends have significantly decreased in most countries of South America and Asia, but varied in European countries. The study highlights the importance of implementing preventative efforts for populations with rising mortality and incidence trends.

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: Penile cancer is on the rise in many countries, particularly in Europe. Measures to lower the risk of penile cancer, such as improving penile hygiene and promoting male human papillomavirus vaccination, may be necessary to reduce the burden of the disease on society.

Summary: The study on cancer trends in the Czech Republic from 1977 to 2018 found an increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms in men and women, especially notable for melanoma. Over the last decade, head and neck cancer and esophageal cancer showed significant increases in incidence in women. In contrast, stomach cancer and colorectal cancer had declining trends over the analyzed period.

Summary: The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer is increasing among the oldest head and neck cancer patients, while mortality is decreasing. However, at other mucosal HNC sites, the incidence and mortality remain stable. There has been a significant change in the percentage of patients receiving surgery for oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. The shift towards non-surgical therapy may be due to poor surgical candidacy or favorable response to radiation therapy in HPV-associated tumors.

Summary: The study analyzed the incidence of osteosarcoma in different geographic regions and age groups using CI5 data, finding that there was little variation in incidence between regions during 2008-2012. The incidence exhibited a bimodal distribution, with peaks in the 10-19 and 60-79 age groups.

Summary: The study reveals that cancer incidence in children and adolescents in China is increasing, with higher rates in boys compared to girls and in urban areas compared to rural areas. Different types of cancer are more common in different age groups, highlighting the importance of targeted prevention and control strategies based on gender and geographical variations.

Summary: This study investigates the temporal changes in lung cancer incidence rates among adults who have never used tobacco. The overall lung cancer incidence rate has declined in recent years, while the incidence rate among adults who have never used tobacco remains relatively stable. However, it is worth noting that the incidence rate is higher and rising among Asian and Pacific Islander adults who have never used tobacco.

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: The study on primary ophthalmic cancers in Singapore from 1996 to 2016 showed an overall increase in incidence, with a substantial rise in lymphomas, especially in patients aged 15 years and older. The most common types of ophthalmic cancers were retinoblastoma, lymphoma, and malignant melanoma.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of HPV vaccination on the incidence of HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) in the US. The results showed a decrease in the incidence of HPV-related OPSCC among young adults during the vaccination era, but no improvement in cancer-specific 5-year survival for young females.
