Cancer continues to be the leading disease-related cause of death among children and adolescents in United States. More current information is needed describe recent cancer trends identify demographic geographic variations.We analyzed data from National Program Registries Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results statewide registries representing 94.2% US population cancers diagnosed persons aged 0 19 years during 2001-2009. Age-adjusted rates annual percentage change for were calculated. Data...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of death in United States cancers that affect both men and women. Despite strong evidence screening for CRC reduces incidence mortality, prevalence below national target. This report describes current by age, various demographic factors, state.Data from 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey were analyzed to estimate percentages adults aged 50-75 years who reported consistent with Preventive Services Task Force...

Abstract Background Cancer is a leading cause of death by disease among children and adolescents in the United States. This study updates cancer incidence rates trends using most recent comprehensive US registry data available. Methods We used from Statistics to evaluate counts, age-adjusted rates, younger than 20 years age diagnosed with malignant tumors between 2003 2019. calculated average annual percent change (APC) APC joinpoint regression. Rates were stratified demographic geographic...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an easy-to-use, non-invasive, and reproducible technique to evaluate changes in body composition nutritional status. Phase angle, determined by bioelectrical (BIA), detects tissue electrical properties has been hypothesized be a marker of malnutrition. Since malnutrition can found patients with breast cancer, we investigated the prognostic role phase angle cancer.We evaluated case series 259 histologically confirmed cancer treated at Cancer Treatment...

BACKGROUND. Invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis is rare in United States. Although human papillomavirus (HPV) infection an established etiologic agent at least 40% penile SCCs, relatively little known about epidemiology this malignancy. METHODS. Population-based data from National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program, Centers for Disease Control Prevention's Program Registries, Center Health Statistics were used to examine invasive SCC...

Most melanoma studies use data from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program or individual cancer registries. Small numbers of cases have limited in-depth analyses for all racial ethnic groups.We sought to describe variations in incidence survival.Incidence invasive 5-year melanoma-specific survival were calculated whites, blacks, American Indians/Alaskan Natives, Asians/Pacific Islanders (API), Hispanics using 38 population-based registries.Incidence...

Abstract Background A frequent manifestation of advanced lung cancer is malnutrition, timely identification and treatment which can lead to improved patient outcomes. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) an easy-to-use non-invasive technique evaluate changes in body composition nutritional status. We investigated the prognostic role BIA-derived phase angle non-small cell (NSCLC). Methods case series 165 stages IIIB IV NSCLC patients treated at our center. The Kaplan Meier method was used...

More than 50,000 Americans were diagnosed with kidney and renal pelvis cancer in 2010. The National Program of Cancer Registries SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results) combined data include incidences from the entire United States. Our study presents updated incidence data, evaluates trends adds geographic distribution to literature.We examined invasive, microscopically confirmed cancers 2001 2010 that met States Statistics reporting criteria for each year, excluding cases by autopsy...

: By using recent national cancer surveillance data, the authors investigated colorectal (CRC) incidence by subpopulation to inform discussion of demographic-based CRC guidelines.: Data included (1999-2004) from combined National Program Cancer Registries and Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results databases. Incidence rates (age-specific age-adjusted 2000 US standard population) were reported among individuals ages 40 44 years, 45 49 50 64 > or =65 years sex, subsite, disease stage, race,...

Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA) derived phase angle is increasingly being used as an objective indicator of nutritional status in advanced cancer. Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) a subjective method status. The this study was to investigate the association between BIA and SGA colorectal cancer.We evaluated case series 73 stages III IV cancer patients. Patients were classified either well-nourished or malnourished using SGA. conducted on all patients calculated. correlation studied Spearman...

Few studies have examined cancer screening among women residing in metropolitan areas relation to both individual-level and area-based measures of socioeconomic status (SES). To learn more, we self-reported rates Papanicolaou (Pap) testing living SES (household income education), (percentage residents poverty, percentage with low education, working class).Data were obtained from who interviewed by telephone during 2000 2002 as part the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)....

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in United States and expected to become within next decade. Considerable variation exists cancer mortality between sexes among different racial/ethnic populations geographic locations. The description data by state, sex, race/ethnicity essential for cancer-control researchers target areas need develop programs that reduce burden cancer.1990-2000.Mortality from CDC were used calculate rates trends, categorized race/ethnicity. Trend analyses...

BACKGROUND. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been shown to prevent precancerous lesions of the vulva with potential a percentage vulvar cancers. To provide baseline picture before HPV implementation, authors described cancer epidemiology by age, race, ethnicity, and histology in US. METHODS. examined incidence data from 39 population-based registries that met high-quality standards 1998 2003, covering approximately 83% US population. They limited their analysis situ invasive...

Limited literature is available about cancer in the Appalachian Region. This only known analysis of all cancers for Appalachia and non-Appalachia covering 100% US population. incidence trends were evaluated by state, sex, race compared with those found non-Appalachian regions.US counties identified as or non-Appalachian. Age-adjusted rates, standard errors, confidence intervals calculated using most recent data from United States Cancer Statistics 2004 to 2011.Generally, carries a higher...

Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.

Abstract BACKGROUND The authors examined the health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) cancer survivors between ages 20 and 64 years by using a population‐based survey individuals who had activity limitations caused cancer. METHODS A population‐based, cross‐sectional study was conducted 2000 to 2002 Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) examine HRQOL among respondents reported because measured CDC's Healthy Days Measures, including...
