neuromas, arise from the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve (acoustic nerve) and are benign, slow-growing brain tumors that negatively impact patient quality of life. They are thought to account for the majority of intracranial nerve sheath tumors. To describe incidence rate patterns and trends of primary nerve sheath tumors of the brain/CNS and the subset of vestibular schwannomas i...

PURPOSE For estimation of Korea's current cancer burden, this study aimed to report on the projected cancer incidence and mortality rates for the year 2015.

PURPOSE This study aimed to report on cancer incidence and mortality for the year 2018 to estimate Korea's current cancer burden. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cancer incidence data from 1999 to 2015 were obtained from the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database, and cancer mortality data from 1993 to 2016 were acquired from Statistics Korea.

Background: The brain cancer etiology is poorly understood, although several studies indicate that residents of agricultural regions have an increased risk of mortality, the hypothesis being the intense exposure to pesticides. Both the trend and the age-periodcohort effect of brain cancer mortality in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were estimated. Methods: This is a descriptive epidemiologic study of ...

BACKGROUND Anogenital warts (AGW) are caused by the most common sexually transmitted infection, human papillomavirus. The objective of this study was to examine AGW incidence from 1990 to 2011 by sex, age, income quintile, and residential area category (urban/rural). The study period included the initiation of school-based HPV vaccination for girls in the sixth grade, which began in 2008. The d...

Abstract This study investigated the magnitude and trends of cause-specific mortality among children 5 to 14 years age in state Rio de Janeiro (RJ) from 2000 2019. We performed an ecological study, using data Mortality Information System (MIS). calculated rates per 100,000 by chapters, groups, categories causes death (ICD-10). Trends were estimated joinpoint regression. aged 10 higher than thos...

OBJECTIVES To determine the cancer incidence in Gipuzkoa (Spain) from 1998 to 2002 and describe time trends since 1986. METHODS The annual incidence of cancer in Gipuzkoa from 1998 to 2002 was estimated as a rate per 100,000 inhabitants. Incidence trends for the period 1986-2002 were studied for all cancers and for the main cancer sites using Poisson regression and Joinpoint regression for pr...
