HPV is the cause of almost all cervical cancer and responsible for a substantial fraction other anogenital cancers oropharyngeal cancers. Understanding HPV‐attributable burden can boost programs vaccination HPV‐based screening. Attributable fractions (AFs) relative contributions different types were derived from published studies reporting on prevalence transforming infection in tissue. Maps age‐standardized incidence rates by country GLOBOCAN 2012 data are shown separately cervix, tract...

BackgroundInfections with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasites are strong risk factors for specific cancers. As new cancer statistics epidemiological findings have accumulated in the past 5 years, we aimed to assess causal involvement of main carcinogenic agents different types year 2012.MethodsWe considered ten infectious classified as human beings by International Agency Research on Cancer. We calculated number cases 2012 attributable infections country, combining incidence estimates...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been identified as the cause of increasing oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) incidence in some countries. To investigate whether this represents a global phenomenon, we evaluated trends for OPCs and oral cavity cancers (OCCs) 23 countries across four continents.We used data from Cancer Incidence Five Continents database Volumes VI to IX (years 1983 2002). Using age-period-cohort modeling, were compared with those OCCs lung delineate potential role HPV vis-à-vis...

Abstract Background: The magnitude of risk conferred by the interaction between tobacco and alcohol use on head neck cancers is not clear because studies have used various methods to quantify excess cancer burden. Methods: We analyzed individual-level pooled data from 17 European American case-control (11,221 cases 16,168 controls) participating in International Head Neck Cancer Epidemiology consortium. estimated multiplicative parameter (ψ) population attributable risks (PAR). Results: A...

At least 75% of head and neck cancers are attributable to a combination cigarette smoking alcohol drinking. A precise understanding the independent association each these factors in absence other with risk cancer is needed elucidate mechanisms carcinogenesis assess efficacy interventions aimed at controlling either factor. We examined extent which associated among never drinkers drinking users tobacco. pooled individual-level data from 15 case–control studies that included 10244 case...

Dramatic increases have been seen over recent decades in the reported incidence of thyroid cancer, but owing to new modes screening, hundreds thousands cases may be overdiagnoses — diagnosis tumors that would not, if left alone, result symptoms or death.

Background: Persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk for several cancers, but the influences of behavioral factors, such as smoking and intravenous drug use, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on cancer are not clear. Methods: Patient records were linked between Swiss HIV Cohort Study cantonal registries. Observed expected numbers incident cancers assessed in 7304 persons followed 28 836 person-years. Relative risks compared those general...

We previously estimated that 660,000 cases of cancer in the year 2008 were attributable to bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), corresponding 5.2% 12.7 million total occurred worldwide. In recent years, evidence has accumulated immunoblot (western blot) is more sensitive for detection anti-H. antibodies than ELISA, method used our previous analysis. The purpose this short report update fraction (AF) estimate H. after briefly reviewing new evidence, and reassess global burden pylori....
