Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of mature plasma cells. Environmental risk factors identified for this malignancy, among others, include farming and exposure to pesticides. Methods Using 3 independent population‐based databases (the Canadian Cancer Registry, le Registre Québécois du Cancer, Vital Statistics), study analyzed patients’ clinical characteristics the incidence, mortality, geographic distribution MM cases in Canada during 1992‐2015. Results In total, ~32,065...
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is one of the most fatal types skin cancer. Alarmingly, increases in incidence and mortality were noted globally for this malignancy, despite increase understanding pathogenesis enhanced prevention efforts.Data was extracted CM patients provinces territories (except Quebec) using two independent, population-based registries. Analysis performed both clinical pathological characteristics: tumor morphologic classification, age, sex, anatomic site affected place...
The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) is increasing at an alarming rate in Canada and elsewhere around the world. Significant regional differences CM have been identified Atlantic provinces. goal this study to compare ultraviolet exposure, sun protective behaviours, level worry baseline knowledge provinces with a high versus low as well, between various demographic groups.A cross-sectional survey was conducted July 2020 August 2022. All participants aged ≥ 16 years completed were...
Globally, cutaneous melanoma (CM) incidence is increasing, with sun exposure identified as a key modifiable risk factor. The Atlantic provinces of Canada display varied CM rates: New Brunswick aligns the national average, while Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island exceed it, Newfoundland Labrador fall below this benchmark. We investigated relationship between in these provinces. Twenty-two focus groups encompassing 95 residents were conducted transcribed. A thematic analysis was MAXQDA using...
We recently reported a steady increase in the incidence and mortality of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) Canada during 1992-2010.The objective this article is to examine distribution Canadian CMM patients at level provinces, cities, forward sortation area (FSA) postal codes.Using 3 population-based registries, we conducted an in-depth examination trends for 72 565 over period 1992-2010.We found that among 20- 39-year-olds, women (7.17 per 100 000 individuals) was significantly higher than...
Abstract Background Esophageal cancer can be subdivided into two main histological subtypes with significant variability in their etiology and epidemiology. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (AC) is increasing across the developed countries, whereas squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) declining. Several risk factors have been identified pathogenesis each subtype, however, epidemiologic characteristics distribution throughout Canada remain poorly understood. Methods We performed a...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Over 90% of skin cancers including cutaneous melanoma (CM) are related directly to sun exposure. Despite extensive knowledge on ultraviolet radiation’s (UVR) detrimental impact, many still fail implement protection/sun avoidance. Human behavior, attitudes, and cultural norms individuals communities heavily depend the surrounding climate/environment. In instances, climate shapes culture/norms society. Canada has vast geographic/environmental...
Background/aims Uveal melanoma is the most common type of non-cutaneous and ocular malignancy in adult population, especially affecting Caucasians (98% cases). Despite its low incidence rate, we have noted increasing trends recent years. Methods We analyzed uveal data using Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) for 2011–2017 The was examined International Classification Diseases Oncology, Third Edition, codes all subtypes. then compared to previously published work by our research group Canada...
The mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) can be used to approximate healthcare inequities and is helpful understand/compare cancer survival between geographic regions/jurisdictions. We investigated cutaneous melanoma (CM) outcomes through MIR analysis in Canadian jurisdictions census divisions (CDs) 1992 2016.
The rapidly increasing skin cancer rates in Canada are alarming, with current data estimating that 1/3 of Canadians will be affected their lifetime. Thus, deeper understanding high-risk sun exposure behaviors is needed to help counter this trend. Only limited action has been taken by federal/provincial governments reduce incidence. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted Manitoba, frequency counts, means, and percentages used encapsulate responses. Age- gender-adjusted odds ratios were...
Background Penile invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare disease with several known risk factors. However, few studies have assessed its incidence, mortality, and temporal trends. Objective Our objectives are to analyze the epidemiology of penile SCC in Canada examine patient distribution this cancer across order elucidate population Methods Three independent registries were used retrospectively demographic data from Canadian men diagnosed between 1992 2010. The Census Population...
In Canada, prostate cancer is the most common reportable malignancy in men. We assessed temporal trends of to gain insight into geographic incidence and mortality this disease. Three independent population-based registries were used retrospectively analyze demographic data on Canadian men diagnosed with who died between years 1992 2010. The rates calculated at provincial, city, forward sortation area (FSA) postal code levels by using population counts that obtained from Census Population....
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies with various genetic and environmental risk factors. This study analyzed the epidemiology sarcomas to gain insight into incidence mortality rates these cancers in Canada, as well elucidate their potential Data for this were obtained from le Registre Québécois du Cancer (LRQC) Canadian Registry (CCR) period 1992 2010. Mortality data Vital Statistics (CVS) database 2010 using International Classification Diseases Oncology, ICD-O-3,...
Background: Although the pathogenesis and epidemiology of endemic Burkitt lymphoma (bl) have been extensively studied, epidemiologic landscape sporadic immunodeficiency-associated bl in North America remains poorly understood. Methods: We used 3 distinct population-based cancer registries to retrospectively study incidence mortality Canada. Data for patient sex; age at time diagnosis; reporting province, city, forward sortation area (fsa, first three characters a postal code) were analyzed....
