Melanoma is a significant health problem in Caucasian populations. The most recently available data from cancer registries often have delay of several months up to few years and they are generally not easily accessible.To assess recent age- sex-specific trends melanoma incidence make predictions for 2010 2015.A retrospective registry-based analysis was performed with 29 European registries. Most them had 1990 2006/7. World-standardized rates (WSR) the estimated annual percentage change...
The impact of developments in colorectal cancer surgery on length-of-stay (LOS) and re-admission have not been well described. In a population-based analysis, we investigated predictors LOS emergency readmission after the initial episode. Incident cancers (ICD-O2: C18-C20), diagnosed 2002-2008, were identified from National Cancer Registry Ireland, linked to hospital in-patient episodes. For those who underwent resection, associated episode was identified. Factors predicting longer...
A number of studies have shown an inverse association between infection with Helicobacter pylori and oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC). The mechanism the apparent protection against OAC by H and, in particular, role gastric atrophy is disputed. relationship all stages inflammation, metaplasia, sequence was explored.A case-control study involving 260 population controls, 227 OAC, 224 Barrett's oesophagus (BO) 230 reflux oesophagitis (RO) patients recruited within Ireland carried out.

Abstract Observational studies suggest that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, but it is not known at what stage they may act in inflammation-metaplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence. In an all-Ireland case-control study, we investigated relationship between use NSAIDs and reflux esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, adenocarcinoma. Patients with long-segment esophagus population controls were recruited from throughout Ireland. Esophagitis...
Some studies suggest smoking may result in poorer clinical outcomes head and neck cancer, but the evidence is heterogeneous some of it poor quality. In a large, population-based, study we investigated: (i) whether at diagnosis an independent prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival cancer; (ii) association varies by site treatment.Head cancers (ICD10 C01-C14, C30-32) diagnosed from 1994 to 2009 were abstracted National Cancer Registry Ireland, classified status diagnosis. Follow-up was...
