Cervical cancer screening (CCS) participation remain low in Malaysia and is expected to be much lower in rural area or low resource setting due to the poor knowledge about the disease (Min-Son et al., 2009; Wong, 2010). Cervical cancer (CC) ranked the third cancer among women in Malaysia with 45% women diagnosed in late stages (Ariffin et al., 2011). Study showed patients who first diagnosed wi...

background: cancer is the third cause of death in iran and its incidence is rising alarmingly. however, a study reported that kohgilooyeh and boyerahmad (a small province in iran) seems to have substantially lower incidence rate of cancer compared to the other parts of the country. this study is conducted to investigate the epidemiological features of cancer regarding three key factors (sex, ag...

BACKGROUND The steadily increasing incidence of thyroid cancer has been attributed mostly to more sensitive thyroid nodule screening. However, various environmental factors, such as those associated with volcanic areas, cannot be excluded as risk factors. We evaluated thyroid cancer incidence in Sicily, which has a homogenous population and a province (Catania) that includes the Mt Etna volcani...

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a common hematologic malignancy. This article aimed to estimate the trends of non-Hodgkin (NHL) globally from 1990 2019.

Results: ASR incidence showed an increasing trend worldwide 2019, with EAPC of.56 [95...

This study aimed to analyze trends in the 10 leading causes of death in Korea from 1983 to 2012. Death rates were derived from the Korean Statistics Information Service database and age-adjusted to the 2010 population. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to identify the points when statistically significant changes occurred in the trends. Between 1983 and 2012, the age-standardized death rat...

We have previously shown a declining incidence of EC in Golestan during the last decades. This study reports additional new results from the Golestan Population-based Cancer Registry (GPCR). METHODS The GPCR...

Projecting the burden of pancreatic cancer over time provides essential information to effectively plan measures for its management and prevention. Here, we obtained data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) Study between 1990 2019, model how will affect 27 countries European Union (EU) plus United Kingdom (the pre-Brexit EU-28) until 2039 by conducting Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis. The numb...
