Background and Aims: This large-scale, population-based cohort study examined the associations between metabolic syndrome cholangiocarcinoma risk, including its intra- extra-hepatic forms. Approach Results: A total of 4,932,211 adults aged ≥40 years participated in a government-initiated health checkup program (2012–2017), which collected lifestyle data, anthropometric measurements, biochemical tests. Follow-up continued until 2021, with data linkage to National Cancer Death Registries...
Previous studies have indicated that HBV infection and T2DM are the factors increase risk of developing HCC. The experimental evidence has shown antiglycemic agents may reduce However, effect dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4 inhibitors) on HCC in patients with chronic remains unclear.

In a country with high prevalence of cigarette smoking, betel chewing, and alcohol drinking, cancers the oral cavity, nasopharynx, larynx were fourth, twelfth seventeenth leading causes cancer death, respectively, for men in 2020. We analyzed patients head neck from 1980 to 2019 Taiwan Cancer Registration Database discussed annual average percent change, age period, birth cohort. Obvious period effects are seen oral, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal cancer; however, most significant effect was...
The safety of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines has been evaluated continuously in pre-licensure clinical trials, post-marketing surveillance systems, and observational studies. Most studies have found no significant association between serious adverse events HPV vaccination. However, these focused on Western populations; similar focusing Asian populations are insufficient.
