Comparison of gynecologic cancer risk factors, incidence and mortality trends between South Korea and Israel, 1999–2013

Colorectal cancer (CRC) dominants in incidence and mortality among all malignant tumors, it is observed both globally and different regions of Russia. The results of analytical epidemiological study «case-control» on the impact of the colorectal cancer risk factors are presented. Considered risk factors were associated with the sources of water consumption and the some features of diet in Permski Krai. Questionnaire surveys of 200 patients with CRC and 200 healthy individuals were performed. Observation and control groups were spread evenly by sex, age and ethnicity. It was determined following risk factors: consumption of municipal unboiled water and well water, sour cream intake, high concentration of salt in the food, fat, fried and spicy meal as well. There were protective factors such us consumption of municipal boiled water and intake of total dairy products more than 1000 g per week.

Study Results

Background: Cancer incidence and mortality continues to rise worldwide including in Kenya. Among the groups that are likely to get cancer in future are Kenyan youth that engage in behavior that can increase their lifetime cancer risk. Despite this awareness, little is known about Kenyan youth's understanding of cancer, cancer risk, and cancer prevention. Such awareness is needed to inform germane cancer prevention and health promotion initiatives. Aim: The purpose of this ethnographic study was to explore Kenyan youth's understanding of cancer, cancer risk, and cancer prevention. Methods: Fifty-three youth (ages 12-19) took part in individual interviews and focus group discussions. Results: In their conceptualization of cancer, youth described cancer in ways that are grouped into two themes: there is no other disease like it and lay understanding through metaphors. In their conceptualization of cancer risk, youth described cancer in ways that are grouped as cancer risk as lifestyle factors and the process of risk perception. Finally, in conceptualization of cancer prevention, youth described cancer prevention in ways that are grouped into the following themes: avoiding cancer risk factors, avoiding peers who partake in risk factors, and being healthy. Conclusion: This study is the first of its kind to be conducted in Kenya and adds to the body of knowledge in this area. Despite limited cancer control plans, youth described the grim consequences of getting cancer, their chances of getting the disease, and proposed opportunities for prevention. The study results will create a platform for future cancer prevention research and health promotion programs in Kenya and other part of Africa.

Incidence And Mortality

PURPOSE Globally, approximately one fourth of newly diagnosed cancer cases (24%) and one third of cancer deaths (30%) in 2018 occurred in China. Despite advanced scientific knowledge about risk factors, the incidence of many cancers continuous to increase, which indicates an urgent need for an effective preventive strategy. METHODS For better monitoring and control of major cancer risk factors in China, a research program was launched at the end of 2016. The program aims to develop novel algorithms for cancer risk prediction and prevention, build tools for both real-time risk factor collection and for transmission of intervention-related messages, and to create a cancer prevention platform. It is funded by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology. The China National Cancer Center plays a leading role. RESULTS This research program includes 5 projects. The first project will develop a means of collecting data on major cancer risk factors and personalized prevention message-sending apps. The second project will establish 20 population-based, high-quality tumor registries with extensive information on cancer treatment and prognosis. The third project will validate the apps and models developed through the first project in 6 large prospective cohort studies involving diverse populations. The fourth project will apply temporal and spatial high-dimensional data-mining approaches and use historical data, including national cancer incidence and mortality data, air pollution monitoring data, national surveys on smoking and nutrition, etc, to develop a cancer incidence and mortality mapping system. The fifth project will build risk prediction models and establish a cancer prevention Web site to showcase results from other projects. CONCLUSION This study has the potential to revolutionize the path of current cancer prevention by leading it toward personalized cancer prevention.

Rectal Cancers

Colon and rectal cancers are usually combined under the same term "colorectal cancer". It should be noted that the lesion of the colon is much more common. Colorectal cancer ranks fourth in the overall structure of oncological pathology in terms of prevalence, and in some countries even comes third after lung and stomach cancer. Risk factors that contribute to the development of colorectal cancer include bowel polyps, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and a genetic predisposition. Most often, neoplastic transformation occurs at the site of an adenoma or dysplastic lesion of the intestinal mucosa. Due to the high risk of neoplastic process in a sufficiently large number of elderly people, it is recommended that every person over the age of 50 should undergo compulsory screening to detect latent cancer. The simplest, but at the same time insufficiently informative method is a blood culture test - analysis for the presence of blood in the feces. Method of total colonoscopy and double-contrast radiography is distinguished by a higher information content, but at the same time a higher cost. It is recommended to have these examinations every three to five years after the age of 50 years without clinical manifestations, and after the age of 40 for those at risk for colorectal cancer.
