Incidence and Survival Trends of Pancreatic Cancer in Girona
(1) Background: We investigated the incidence and survival trends for pancreatic cancer (PC) over the last 25 years in the Girona region, Catalonia, Spain; (2) Methods: Data were extracted from the population-based Girona Cancer Registry. Incident PC cases during 1994-2015 were classified using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology Third Edition (ICD-O-3). Incidence rates age-adjusted to the European standard population (ASR E…
Food and nutrient intakes and K- ras mutations in exocrine pancreatic cancer
Background: No studies have investigated the relation between K- ras mutations and dietary factors in exocrine pancreatic cancer (EPC), and fewer than 10 studies have done so in other neoplasms. Patients and Methods: Incident cases of EPC were prospectively identified, and interviewed face-to-face during hospital admission. Food and nutrient intakes were measured with a food frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to compare EPC cas…
Advanced glossary on genetic epidemiology
This is the last of a series of glossaries on terms used in genetic epidemiology published by the journal. This glossary covers the most advanced genetic terms, most of which are related to new study designs and laboratory techniques. It provides the reader with examples and references of real studies that applied each of the study designs defined in the glossary. This should help the reader grasp the subtleties of each of these strategies and wi…
Basic glossary on genetic epidemiology
This is the second of a series of three glossaries on genetic concepts used in epidemiological research that the journal is publishing with the objective of helping the reader “walk” around the journal
Coffee, pancreatic cancer, and K- ras mutations
epidemiological thinking on causality
Association between coffee drinking and K-ras mutations in exocrine pancreatic cancer. PANKRAS II Study Group
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To analyse the relation between coffee consumption and mutations in the K-ras gene in exocrine pancreatic cancer. DESIGN: Case-case study. Consumption of coffee among cases with the activating mutation in the K-ras gene was compared with that of cases without the mutation. SETTING AND PATIENTS: All cases of pancreatic cancer newly diagnosed at five hospitals in Spain during three years were included in the PANKRAS II Study (n = 1…
Decreased survival of patients with lung cancer admitted to a teaching hospital through the emergency department in Barcelona, Spain
Few studies have analysed the characteristics and prognosis of patients with lung cancer that present to accident and emergency departments.1 Improving the referral of cancer patients from primary care to hospitals is of wide interest in many Western countries.2 Hospital tumour registries have a role in assessing clinical outcomes. The tumour registry of our hospital has noted that half of all initial admissions for cancer occur via the
Influence of "diagnostic delay" upon cancer survival
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to assess the relationship between survival, tumour stage, and the interval from first symptom to diagnosis (SDI, or duration of symptoms). DESIGN--This was a retrospective follow up study of a cohort of patients registered in the tumour registry of the Hospital del Mar (Barcelona). SETTING--Hospital based tumour registry, with patients derived mainly from the City of Barcelona. PARTICIPANTS--1247 cases of lung, breas…
