OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression in cancer patients assessed by diagnostic interviews and self-report instruments, and to study differences in prevalence between type of instrument, type of cancer and treatment phase. METHODS A literature search was conducted in four databases to select studies on the prevalence of depression among adult cancer patients during or...

Concurrent with increasing prostate cancer incidence and declining prostate cancer mortality in the United States, the prevalence of obesity has been increasing steadily. Several studies have reported that obesity is associated with increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer and prostate cancer mortality, and it is thus likely that the increase in obesity has increased the burden of prostate ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 58 autopsy studies of latent prostate cancer from 1898-2013 were identified and analyzed accounting for histopathological methods, which may have varied over time. RESULTS Prostate cancer is most prevalent in African descent men, less prevalent in European descent men, and least prevalent in Asian descent men. Fifty percent of Asian men have latent prostate tum...

The residential areas patients were studied mapped taking into account risk factors. result study was an oncoecological analysis urban landscape sites creation scheme active search early forms cancer.

BACKGROUND Black men have a higher incidence of prostate cancer compared with White men in several countries. In Brazil, most studies reported a similar prevalence of prostate cancer between Blacks and Whites as a result of the high race mixture of the population. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review with meta-analysis of the prevalence of prostate cancer in Black versus White, Brown vers...

BACKGROUND Cancer prevalence-the proportion of people in a population with a diagnosis of cancer-includes groups with widely differing cancer care needs. We estimated the proportions of the prevalent colon cancer cases requiring initial care, terminal care and follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prevalence by year since diagnosis was estimated from incidence and vital status data on 243,471 colon...

BACKGROUND Anemia is the most common hematologic condition encountered in outpatient clinics. It is often overlooked because it is common among patients; however, anemia is one of the leading indicators of cancer. This study examined the prevalence and characteristics of cancer among anemia patients who visited an outpatient clinic. METHODS The data were collected by reviewing the records of ...

Data from population-based human papillomavirus (HPV) surveys in regions of low, intermediate, and high cervical cancer incidence were used to study the ecologic correlation between high-risk HPV prevalence and cervical cancer incidence. All the surveys were conducted by the IARC according to a standardized protocol for the collection of female population samples and detection of HPV DNA using ...
