Summary: This analysis examines the incidence of breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate cancer among women who have sex with women and men who have sex with men using UK Biobank data. The results show no differences in the number of new cases for breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer, but sexual minority adults have a higher risk for lung cancer due to greater exposure to smoking.

Summary: This study examines the incidence differences of lung cancer among first-generation Italian, Turkish, and Moroccan migrant men in Belgium. Moroccan men appeared to have lower lung cancer incidence rates compared to native Belgian men, while Italian men had higher incidence for overall lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma. Turkish men showed lower overall lung cancer incidence only after adjusting for education level.

Summary: This study identified factors associated with attendance to cervical cancer screening programmes among women in the Amazon region of Colombia. Factors such as age of first intercourse, frequency of contraceptive use, awareness of programme participation age, knowledge about cytology's usefulness, and importance of cytology were positively associated with programme attendance. Women living in rural areas were less likely to adhere to the programmes. Innovative strategies, education activities, and raising awareness regarding prevention could further increase programme attendance and compliance.

Summary: The study revealed that in Spain, males with low SES have an increased risk of lung cancer, while females with high SES have an increased risk of breast cancer. Additionally, male adults with low SES showed a decreased risk of colorectal cancer, and female adults with low SES showed a decreased risk of breast cancer.

Summary: The sequence chronic inflammation-dysplasia-cancer is involved in the development of several gastrointestinal cancers. The characteristics of IBD, including CRC-related symptoms at onset, play a role in the long-term outcome of CRC in IBD patients. CRC has a higher incidence in UC and CD patients. Surveillance programs should focus on high-risk subgroups of patients.

Summary: This study investigated the attendance and compliance of resistance exercise and their impact on outcomes in prostate cancer patients. The results showed that higher compliance with resistance exercise led to greater improvements in regional fat and lean mass, while physical function and muscle strength improvements were achieved with lower compliance.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial distribution of advanced-stage diagnosis and mortality due to lung cancer in Brazil and its association with healthcare services supply, demographic and socioeconomic indicators. The study found high proportion of advanced-stage diagnosis and inequalities in lung cancer mortality, correlated with the most developed areas of the country.

Summary: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Chronic inflammation plays a key role in the development of neoplastic progression, resulting in dysplastic precursor lesions. Colitis-associated CRC shares molecular similarities with sporadic CRC and the microbiome and host immune system may also play a role. However, further research is needed to understand the specific molecular differences and their role in inflammation-associated cancers.

Summary: Immunotherapy is a novel anti-cancer method that provides a better or alternative option for cancer patients. While increasingly approved for cancer treatment, it still has limitations such as low response rates in most cases. Future development should focus on biomarker discovery, new tumor targets, neoadjuvant immunotherapy, and combination with conventional therapies for more effective outcomes.

Summary: Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota is closely associated with various gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS, IBD, and CRC, potentially leading to mucosal barrier disruption, chronic inflammation, and cancer progression. Specific harmful bacteria, like E. coli and ETBF, are linked to an increased risk of developing CRC.

Summary: By comprehensively characterizing IBD-associated tumorigenesis using multiple high-throughput approaches, distinct mechanisms of WNT pathway dysregulation were identified in IBD-CRC, which skew the tumors towards a mesenchymal subtype. Additionally, epigenetic modifications and noncoding mutations in specific genes were found in IBD-CRC, highlighting further differences compared to sCRC.

Summary: This review briefly summarizes the expression of CypA, CypB, and CypD in IBD and CRC, their relationship with the development of these two intestinal diseases, as well as the possible pathogenesis, providing a modest reference for future clinical research and treatments.
