Low cancer awareness may contribute to delayed diagnosis and poor survival. We aimed quantify socio-demographic differences in symptom barriers symptomatic presentation the English population. Using a uniquely large data set (n=49 270), we examined association of with age, gender, marital status socio-economic position (SEP), using logistic regression models control for confounders. The youngest oldest, single participants lowest SEP recognised fewest symptoms, reported most presentation....
Campaigns aimed at raising cancer awareness and encouraging early presentation have been implemented in England. However, little is known about whether people with low increased barriers to seeking medical help worse survival, there a geographical variation From population-based surveys (n=35 308), using the Cancer Research UK Awareness Measure, we calculated age- sex-standardised symptom scores for 52 primary care trusts (PCTs). These measures were evaluated relation sex-, age-, type of...
Ethnic differences in cancer symptom awareness and barriers to seeking medical help the English population are not fully understood. We aimed quantify these differences, develop more effective health campaigns, tailored needs of different ethnic groups. Using a large national data set (n=38 492) cross-sectional surveys that used Cancer Research UK Awareness Measure, we examined how varied by ethnicity, controlling for socio-economic position, age gender. Data were analysed using...
Background: Selenium deficiency is widespread in the Malawi population. The selenium concentration maize, staple food crop of Malawi, can be increased by applying selenium-enriched fertilizers. It unknown whether this strategy, called agronomic biofortification, effective at alleviating deficiency. Objectives: aim Addressing Hidden Hunger with Agronomy (AHHA) trial was to determine consumption maize flour, agronomically-biofortified selenium, affected serum concentrations women, and children...
Abstract Background Survival from pancreatic cancer is low worldwide. In the US, 5‐year relative survival has been slightly higher for women, whites and younger patients than their counterparts, differences in age stage at diagnosis [Corrections added Nov 16, 2022, after first online publication: a new affiliation to Maja Nikšić] may contribute this pattern. We aimed examine trends by race, stage, sex adults (15‐99 years) diagnosed with US. Methods This population‐based study included...
Abstract Aim Chronic diseases often occur simultaneously and tend to be associated with adverse health outcomes, but limited research has been undertaken understand their role in lung cancer mortality. Therefore, this study aims describe the prevalence patterns of having one (comorbidity) or ≥ 2 chronic (multimorbidity) among patients Spain, examine association between comorbidity multimorbidity short-term mortality risk at six months after diagnosis. Methods In population-based cohort...
We explored the role of socioeconomic inequalities in COVID-19 incidence among cancer patients during first wave pandemic. conducted a case-control study within UK Biobank cohort linked to tests results available from 16 March 2020 until 23 August 2020. The main exposure variable was status, assessed using Townsend Deprivation Index. Among 18,917 participants with an incident malignancy cohort, 89 tested positive for COVID-19. overall 4.7 cases per 1000 (95%CI 3.8–5.8). Compared least...
