Risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms after an index potentially-human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers
ConclusionsP-HPV-AC survivors experienced excess risk of SPMN. These findings have the potential to affect future surveillance practices and improve preventive healthcare for survivors of P-HPV-ACs. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Acute pancreatitis as an early marker of pancreatic cancer and cancer stage, treatment, and prognosis
ConclusionsPancreatic cancer patients with acute pancreatitis diagnosed up to 90 days before cancer diagnosis had earlier stage at diagnosis and better survival than patients without acute pancreatitis. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Validity of state cancer registry treatment information for adolescent and young adult women
ConclusionsIn this cohort of young women, population-based cancer registry data on chemotherapy receipt was reasonably accurate and complete in comparison with insurance claims. Radiation and hormone therapy appeared to be less complete. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

The frequency, nature and impact of GP-assessed avoidable delays in a population-based cohort of cancer patients
ConclusionWe have shown that GP-identified instances of avoidable delay have construct validity. Whilst the causes of avoidable diagnostic delays are multi-factorial and occur in different settings and phases of the diagnostic process, their analysis can guide improvement initiatives and enable the examination of any prognostic implications.

Access to diagnostic facilities in children with cancer in Colombia: Spotting opportunity and distance from a sample
ConclusionsThis study identified clear shortcomings in the Colombian Health System related to the quality of childhood cancer-related health care in terms of timeliness, cancer networks, and geographic access. These inequities not only depend on sociodemographic-characteristics and should be intervened upon. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology)

Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic survival disparities for children and adolescents with central nervous system tumours in the United States, 2000–2015
ConclusionsNon-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children had lower survival than their White counterparts. This association, not fully explained by differences in SEP, tumour subtype or health insurance, could be related to racially/ethnically-driven barriers to optimal healthcare, warranting further investigation.

Vasectomy and the risk of prostate cancer in a Finnish nationwide population-based cohort
ConclusionWe found a small statistically significant increase in PCa incidence after vasectomy, but in contrast the mortality of vasectomized men was significantly reduced. This may be due to higher likelihood of vasectomized men to undergo prostate-specific antigen testing, having healthier general lifestyle and other biological factors e.g. high reproductive fitness.

Patient-reported outcome measures after treatment for prostate cancer: Results from the Danish Prostate Cancer Registry (DAPROCAdata)
ConclusionClinical interventions for improving symptoms should focus particularly on the first year after prostate cancer diagnosis. Greater emphasis on improving sexual function should be practiced in clinical and rehabilitative care, since this area has the single greatest impact on symptom-specific QoL after primary treatment for prostate cancer.

Risk factors for gastric precancerous and cancers lesions in Latin American counties with difference gastric cancer risk
ConclusionThe present study in Latin American countries confirmed that similar environmental factors such as smoking and grain/cereal consumption were associated with H. pylori infection and its induced gastric lesions as reported in other regions where dominant H. pylori strains differ.

Adherence to the 2018 WCRF/AICR cancer prevention guidelines and chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the MCC-Spain study
ConclusionOverall, our results do not support an association between the WCRF/AICR score and CLL, yet we might have been limited by statistical power and study design to detect modest associations. Further research, ideally with a prospective design, long follow-up, and including additional lymphoma subtypes, is warranted to confirm the impact of composite healthy lifestyle behaviors on lymphoma risk.
