Incidence of childhood cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean
Objective. To provide a comprehensive overview of geographical patterns (2001–2010) and time trends (1993–2012) of cancer incidence in children aged 0–19 years in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and interpret the findings in the context of global patterns. Methods. Geographical variations in 2001–2010 and incidence trends over 1993–2012 in the population of LAC younger than 20 years were described using the database of the third volume of t…
Global surveillance of trends in cancer survival 2000–14 (Concord-3)
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the second cycle of the CONCORD programme established global surveillance of cancer survival as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems and to inform global policy on cancer control. CONCORD-3 updates the worldwide surveillance of cancer survival to 2014. METHODS: CONCORD-3 includes individual records for 37·5 million patients diagnosed with cancer during the 15-year period 2000-14. Data were provided by 322 populatio…
P1-97 Demographic analysis of osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma family of tumours in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain, 1980–2005
Introduction Primary bone cancers (PBC) occur most often in young people. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma family of bone tumours (ESFT) are the most common sub-groups but aetiology remains unclear. Some childhood cancer rates are known to vary with socioeconomic status. Therefore, this study examined geographical patterning in osteosarcoma and ESFT incidence, diagnosed in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain (GB) during 1980–2005. The analysis focussed…
P1-96 Primary bone cancer in 0–49 year olds in great britain, 1980–2005 and fluoride in drinking water
Introduction Primary bone cancers (PBC) occur most often in young people. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma family of bone tumours (ESFT) are most commonly diagnosed in children but aetiology remains unclear. Fluoride has been proposed as a potential causal agent for PBC. The study investigated whether incidence of PBC was linked with fluoride in drinking water. Method Incidence data on cases aged <50 years diagnosed during 1980–2005 were obtained f…
Demographic analyses of primary bone cancer in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain, 1980–2005
Objective To examine geographical patterning in the incidence of primary bone cancers diagnosed in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain (GB) during the period 1980–2005. The analyses focussed on the two most common types in this age range, osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. We specifically aimed to analyse putative associations with area characteristics including deprivation and population density. Design The study accessed multiple data sources includin…
Leukaemia survival trends in children with Down's syndrome in Great Britain, 1971–2000
BACKGROUND: Children with Down's syndrome (DS) who developed leukaemia have had a worse prognosis than other children with leukaemia in the past. In the 1970s and early 1980s, some children with DS who developed leukaemia received fewer cycles of chemotherapy or were advised not to have treatment. METHODS: In this population-based study, trends in 5-year survival from leukaemia were evaluated for children with and without DS who were diagnosed in…
Fluoride and bone cancer
Objective To analyse the putative association between incidence of primary bone cancer diagnosed in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain (GB) in 1980–2005 and fluoride in drinking water. The analyses focussed on osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. Design The study accessed multiple data sources including population census, digital boundary, postcode directory and fluoride monitoring at water supply zone level data. Incidence data from all 10 regional canc…
Cancer registration
Cancer registration in England and Wales was begun in 1929 by the Radium Commission. The work was transferred to the General Register Office in 1947 and thence to its successor, the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS). National coverage, though not 100% registration, was achieved in 1962. Meanwhile a parallel system was established in Scotland, cover- ing the whole country by 1959. The National Cancer Registry in England and Wales is…
The Inter-Regional Epidemiological Study of Childhood Cancer (IRESCC)
The Inter-Regional Epidemiological Study of Childhood Cancer (IRESCC) collected interview and medical information relating to the child's past medical experiences from parents of 555 children diagnosed with cancer and parents of 1110 unaffected matched controls. No significant associations emerged overall for ante-natal care, place and mode of delivery, length of gestation, birth weight, condition at birth, special care, neonatal procedures or br…
Prenatal factors in the aetiology of testicular cancer
A case-control study is reported based on 87 deaths from testicular cancer that occurred in children in Great Britain 1953-73. Factors that significantly increased relative risk were tuberculosis of the mother during the index pregnancy and maternal epilepsy; factors that increased risk but not significantly were hyperemesis in the index pregnancy, a maternal history of stillbirths, and hernia and genitourinary defects in the child. Cryptorchidis…
