Increasing cutaneous melanoma incidence rates in the United States have been attributed to heightened detection of thin (≤ 1-mm) lesions.We sought describe and mortality trends 12 cancer registries covered by Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results program estimate contribution lesions mortality.We used joinpoint analysis data from 1992 2006.During through 2006, among non-Hispanic whites increased for all ages tumor thicknesses. Death older (>65 years) but not younger persons. Between 1998...
Cigarette smoking accounts for about 65% of bladder cancer risk in men and 20% -30% women ( 1 ).Studies have consistently shown a two-to threefold among regular cigarette smokers, defined as those who smoked at least one per day 6 months, compared with never ).Experimental evidence has suggested that 2-naphthylamine 4-aminobiphenyl may be the carcinogens smoke -8 ).Numerous studies demonstrated increases increasing duration intensity (cigarettes day) smoking, although levels off higher but...
Introduction: Early detection of breast cancer by screening mammography aims to increase treatment options and decrease mortality. Recent studies have shown inconsistent results in their investigations the possible association between travel distance stage at diagnosis. Objective: The purpose study was investigate whether geographic access is associated with Methods: Using state's population-based registry, all female residents New Hampshire aged ≥40 years who were diagnosed during 1998-2004...
Objectives We used data from a large, population-based case–control study in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont to examine relationships between occupation, industry bladder cancer risk. Methods Lifetime occupational histories were obtained by personal interview 1158 patients newly diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma of the 2001–2004, 1402 population controls. Unconditional logistic regression was calculate ORs 95% CIs, adjusted for demographic factors, smoking employment other high-risk...
Aromatic amine components in hair dyes and polymorphisms genes that encode enzymes responsible for dye metabolism may be related to bladder cancer risk. We evaluated the association between use risk effect modification by N-acetyltransferase-1 (NAT1), NAT2, glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 (GSTM1) theta-1 (GSTT1) genotypes a population-based case-control study of 1193 incident cases 1418 controls from Maine, Vermont New Hampshire enrolled 2001 2004. Individuals were interviewed person using...
Despite many studies on diet and bladder cancer, there are areas that remain unexplored including meat mutagens, specific vegetable groups, vitamins from diet. We conducted a population-based case–control study of cancer in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. A total 1171 cases were ascertained through hospital pathology records registries 2001 to 2004. Overall, 1418 controls identified the Department Motor Vehicles (<65 years) Center for Medicaid Medicare Services (65–79 frequency-matched by...
<h3>Objectives</h3> Professional judgment is necessary to assess occupational exposure in population-based case–control studies; however, the assessments lack transparency and are time-consuming perform. To improve efficiency, we systematically applied decision rules questionnaire responses diesel exhaust New England Bladder Cancer Study. <h3>Methods</h3> 2631 participants reported 14 983 jobs; 2749 jobs were administered questionnaires (‘modules’) with diesel-relevant questions. We assign...
Ingestion of inorganic arsenic in drinking water is recognized as a cause bladder cancer when levels are relatively high (≥ 150 µg/L). The epidemiologic evidence less clear at the low-to-moderate concentrations typically observed United States. Accurate retrospective exposure assessment over long time period major challenge conducting studies environmental factors and diseases with latency, such cancer.
A few epidemiologic studies have found that use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with reduced risk bladder cancer. However, the effects specific NSAID and individual variability in not been well studied. We examined association between NSAIDs cancer risk, its modification by 39 candidate genes related to metabolism. population-based case-control study was conducted northern New England, enrolling 1,171 newly diagnosed cases 1,418 controls. Regular nonaspirin,...
This study coordinates data analysis among central cancer registries in multiple states to examine differences care between rural and urban areas.
Abstract Background Central cancer registries are required to collect industry and occupation (I/O) information when available, but the data reported often incomplete. Methods We audited completeness of I/O in New Hampshire State Cancer Registry (NHSCR) database for diagnosis year 2005, reviewed medical records a convenience sample 474 these cases. compared quality before after statewide registrar training session on occupationally related cancers. Results The original 2005 contained both...
IntroductionObesity is a national epidemic.Gastric bypass surgery may be the only option that provides significant long-term weight loss for people who are morbidly obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥40 kg/m ) or have BMI of 35 higher and an obesity-related comorbidity.The objective this study was to assess trends in gastric New Hampshire. MethodsData from 1996 2007 Hampshire Inpatient Hospital Discharge data set were analyzed.Records patients with code identified, on hospitalizations collected.A...
Despite progress in developing learning health systems (LHS) and associated metrics of success, a gap remains identifying measures to guide the implementation assessment impact an oncology LHS. Our aim was identify balanced set person-centered LHS.A modified Delphi process clinical value compass framework were used prioritize for tracking LHS performance. A multidisciplinary group 77 stakeholders, including people with cancer family members, participated 3 rounds online voting followed by...
ISEE-0232 Background and Objectives: Bladder cancer mortality rates have been elevated for decades in northern New England. We used data from a population-based case-control study to examine the relationship between occupation bladder risk whether occupational exposures play role England excess. Methods: obtained lifetime histories 1,158 patients newly diagnosed with 2001–2004 Maine, Hampshire, Vermont, 1,402 population controls. Odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed...
