Global, Regional, and National Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Years of Life Lost, Years Lived With Disability, and Disability-Adjusted Life-Years for 29 Cancer Groups, 1990 to 2017
Importance Cancer and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are now widely recognized as a threat to global development. The latest United Nations high-level meeting on NCDs reaffirmed this observation and also highlighted the slow progress in meeting the 2011 Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases and the third Sustainable Development Goal. Lack of situational analyses, priority setting, and budgeting hav…
The association between post-diagnosis health behaviors and long-term quality of life in survivors of ductal carcinoma in situ
Temporal Trends in Incidence and Mortality Rates for Colorectal Cancer by Tumor Location
Objectives. We evaluated changes in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality by anatomic site to assess the possible impact of CRC screening. Methods. Using data from 9 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registries, we estimated trends in 1975–2007 CRC incidence and 1985–2007 incidence-based mortality. We evaluated trends separately for proximal and distal CRC, overall and by stage, tumor site, and race. Results. Between 19…
Multivitamin supplement use and risk of invasive breast cancer
Objective Multivitamin supplements are used by nearly half of middle-aged women in the USA. Despite this high prevalence of multivitamin use, little is known about the effects of multivitamins on health outcomes, including cancer risk. Our main objective was to determine the association between multivitamin use and the risk of breast cancer in women. Design We conducted a population-based case–control study among 2968 incident breast cancer cases…
Perceived Risks of Participation in an Epidemiologic Study
Mammography in a health maintenance organization
The charts of a random sample of 496 women, aged 51 and older, in a staff model health maintenance organization (HMO) were retrospectively audited for mammography frequency over an 8-year period. Of the 496 women, 306 (61.7%) had at least one mammogram. For the 422 women who had been members of the HMO for at least 2 years, 196 (46.4%) had mammography within the previous 18 months
Cost-Effectiveness of Strategies for Detecting Diabetic Retinopathy
A computer model has been developed to determine cost-effectiveness of screening and treatment for diabetic retinopathy from a societal viewpoint. This model was used to evaluate biannual and annual screening programs using ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography with a "nonmydriatic camera," and photography with a "mydriatic camera." Computations were performed for three subpopulations formed by patients with younger onset diabetes (age at diagnosis …
