Purpose The National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP) in Korea supports cancer screening for stomach, liver, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer. This study was conducted to assess trends participation rates among Korean men women invited undergo via the NCSP as part of an effort guide future implementation program Korea. Materials Methods Data from 2002 2012 were used calculate annual with 95% confidence intervals (CI) by sex, insurance status, age group screening. Results In 2012,...
Abstract Postpartum depression is common; however, little known about its relationship to social support and postpartum depression. This study examined the association between them among South Korean women within one year of childbirth. was based on 2016 Study Women’s Health-Related Issues (K-Stori), a cross-sectional survey employing nationally-representative random sampling. Participants were 1,654 giving birth. Chi-square test logistic regression analysis conducted analyze associations...
Assessing long-term success and efficiency is an essential part of evaluating cancer control programs. The mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) can serve as insightful indicator management outcomes for individual nations. By calculating MIRs the top five cancers in Organization Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) countries, current study attempted to characterize national policies according health system ranking each country.The most burdensome globally (lung, colorectal, prostate,...
Purpose The Korean National Cancer Screening Survey (KNCSS), a nationwide cross-sectional survey, has been conducted annually since 2004. current study was to report on the trends in screening rates among men and women, evaluate policies regarding cancer programs implemented reduce burden of cancer. Materials Methods used KNCSS data. eligible population included aged 40-74 years women 30-74 with no history. lifetime rate, rate recommendation, changes annual were calculated for five major...
Background Various risk factors have been associated with epithelial ovarian cancer in observational epidemiological studies. However, the causal nature of reported, and thus their suitability as effective intervention targets, is unclear given susceptibility conventional designs to residual confounding reverse causation. Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants proxies for strengthen inference We used MR evaluate association 12 previously reported (reproductive, anthropometric,...
This study examines Hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening scenarios to meet World Health Organization (WHO) elimination targets (incidence ≤5 per 100,000, mortality ≤2 100,000) and assesses their timeframes cost-effectiveness. A closed cohort model of Koreans aged 30-79 in 2020 projected HCV incidence over 20 years. Economic evaluations used a dynamic transmission model, considering prevalent annual incident cases. approach addresses the limitations previous models that neglected new infections....
Abstract Background: The role of soybean products in gastric cancer risk is not clear epidemiologic studies due to measurement error from dietary intake questionnaires and different degrees bias according study design. To examine the association between risk, we measured phytoestrogen biological markers a nested case-control study. Methods: population was composed 131 cases 393 matched controls within Korean Multicenter Cancer Cohort. concentrations four biomarkers plasma samples were using...
Although the effectiveness of mass screening for gastric cancer remains controversial, several countries with a high prevalence have implemented nationwide programs. This study was conducted to assess trends in use either upper gastrointestinal series (UGIS) or endoscopy screen cancer, as well factors strongly associated changes therein, over 10-year period. Data were obtained from National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP) database 2002 2011 Korea. The NCSP provides biennial UGIS men and...
While numerous studies have investigated body image, including weight perception, most of which focused on adolescents or young women, few attempted to evaluate perceptions in adult women according age groups. This study was conducted investigate the accuracy self-perceived and actual mass index (BMI) values among Korean age. We used data from 2016 Study Women's Health Related Issues, a population-based, nationwide, cross-sectional survey. BMI calculated self-reported height. Participants...
Non-European populations are under-represented in genetics studies, hindering clinical implementation of breast cancer polygenic risk scores (PRSs). We aimed to develop PRSs using the largest available studies Asian ancestry and assess transferability PRS across ethnic subgroups.
Breast cancer is the second most common malignancy among Korean women. The 2002 National Cancer Center screening guideline breast was revised via an evidence-based approach to provide medical personnel with a standard protocol of cancer. There moderate-level evidence that biennial mammography in asymptomatic women aged 40 69 reduces mortality, while low-level suggests 70 years or older does not reduce mortality. committee concluded current insufficient assess benefits and harms either...
To reduce lung cancer mortality, screening was recommended using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) to high-risk population. A protocol for multicenter pilot project developed evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of implement National Cancer Screening Program in Korea.Multidisciplinary expert committee comprised develop a standardized Korean Lung Project (K-LUCAS). K-LUCAS is population-based single arm trial that targets population aged 55-74 years with at least 30 pack-year smoking...
<h3>Importance</h3> Evidence suggests that breast density and body mass index (BMI) are strong cancer risk factors; however, their interactive associations unknown. Elucidation of these may help to increase understanding the causes find effective interventions for susceptible subgroups. <h3>Objective</h3> To explore association interaction mammographic BMI with risks among premenopausal postmenopausal women. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This prospective observational cohort study...
