Cardiovascular disease incidence and cancer risk in two large European prospective cohorts

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer share risk factors and biological mechanisms, raising questions about potential associations between the two, particularly regarding CVD duration and cancer onset. Whether CVD influences subsequent cancer risk, however, remains inconclusive.

Adverse Health Events in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Patients Treated With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors 2009–2019: A Real‐World Study From the UK's Haematological Malignancy Research Network

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) outcome, long‐term effects remain unclear, particularly in real‐world settings. Here, the authors examined morbidity and mortality in CML patients treated with TKIs between 2009 and 2019 in the United Kingdom.

The Relevance of Curative‐Intent Metastasectomy in Colorectal Cancer Patients: Real‐World Insights From a Certified Comprehensive Cancer Center in Germany

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are ineligible for upfront metastasectomy may still become candidates for secondary metastasectomy with curative intent following response to primary chemotherapy. However, most studies dichotomize metastatic colorectal cancer into resectable and unresectable disease.

Environmental Pesticide Exposure in the Etiology of Pediatric Brain Tumors and Leukemia: A Scoping Review of Epidemiological Studies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Molecular Tumor Boards in Malignant Melanoma: Uncovering Challenges and Opportunities in a Bicenter Retrospective Analysis in Germany

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Molecular tumor boards (MTB), interdisciplinary teams that use tumor genomic data to guide personalized treatment decisions, have emerged as a promising strategy in melanoma care, although their real‐world clinical impact remains uncertain. This retrospective study evaluated advanced melanoma patients to assess molecularly guided treatment ...

Rising Incidence and Mortality of Colorectal Cancer Among Younger Adults: A Population‐Based Study in Taiwan, 1994–2018

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in the Asia‐Pacific region over the past three decades. This population‐based study in Taiwan suggests a shift of the colorectal cancer burden towards the younger generations. An age–period–cohort model revealed higher annual increases in incidence (3.58%) and mortality (1.0%) rates among ...

Alcohol and Death Certificates

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
To the Editor.— Although the accuracy of death certificates has been questioned, 1-3 they continue to be the primary source of mortality statistics. Death certificates may seriously underestimate the prevalence of certain diseases. 4 This may be especially true for alcoholism.

The Problematic Death Certificate

New England Journal of Medicine, 1985
Since 1923, when Wells challenged the reliability of existing cancer statistics,1 over 100 publications documenting discrepancies (ranging from 20 to 40 per cent) between major clinical and autopsy diagnoses have repeatedly raised questions about the accuracy of published mortality statistics.

Accuracy of death certificates in Neonatal deaths

Journal of Public Health, 1989
Death certificates of neonates were compared with detailed clinical and pathological information provided for a national neonatal mortality survey. The systematic method of assigning the cause of death to one of seven broad categories in the survey found complete agreement with the underlying cause of death on the death certificate in 83 per cent of ...

Death certificate completion by physicians

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1996
To the Editor. —The study by Drs Messite and Stellman1emphasized the inaccuracies of death certification and attributes these partly to the lack of adequate training of physicians. However, a more serious flaw in the system was also evident in their study: the very format of the death certificate encourages physicians to list mechanisms of death ...
