“…These activities complement specific research projects in many countries. Examples include mapping colorectal cancer incidence in China [13], assessing area-level socioeconomic components and testicular cancer survival in England [14], and examining air quality and cancer mortality in Brazil [15]. …”

Purpose Geospatial, contextual, and multilevel research is integral to cancer prevention and control. NCI-designated Cancer Centers are at the forefront of cancer research, therefore this paper sought to review the geospatial, contextual, and multilevel research at these cancer centers. Methods Investigators used PubMed and Web of Science to compile geospatial publications from 1971 to February 2016 with cancer center-affiliated authors. Relevant abstracts were pulled and classified by six geospatial approaches, eight geospatial scales, and eight cancer sites. Results The searches identified 802 geospatial, contextual, and multilevel publications with authors affiliated at 60 of the 68 NCI-designated Cancer Centers. Over 90% were published after 2000. Five cancer centers accounted for approximately 50% of total publications, and 30 cancer centers (less than half) accounted for over 85% of total publications. Publications covered all geospatial approaches and scales to varying degrees, and 90% dealt with cancer. Conclusions The NCI-designated Cancer Center network is increasingly pursuing geospatial, contextual, and multilevel cancer research, although many cancer centers still conduct limited to no research in this area. Expanding geospatial efforts to research programs across all cancer centers will further enrich cancer prevention and control. Similar reviews may benefit other domestic and international cancer research institutions.

“…In Taiwan, one matched case-control study found a dose-dependent effect of exposure to NO 2 , SO 2 , and PM 10 on bladder cancer mortality [12]. In Brazil, a correlation was observed between PM 10 exposure and bladder cancer incidence [13]. In the United States, air pollution ozone days were positively associated with increased bladder cancer mortality [14].…”

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is an air pollutant that is receiving intense regulatory attention in Taiwan. In previous studies, the effect of air pollution on bladder cancer has been explored. This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of atmospheric PM2.5 and other local risk factors on bladder cancer mortality based on available 13-year mortality data. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) was applied to estimate and interpret the spatial variability of the relationships between bladder cancer mortality and ambient PM2.5 concentrations, and other variables were covariates used to adjust for the effect of PM2.5. After applying a GWR model, the concentration of ambient PM2.5 showed a positive correlation with bladder cancer mortality in males in northern Taiwan and females in most of the townships in Taiwan. This is the first time PM2.5 has been identified as a risk factor for bladder cancer based on the statistical evidence provided by GWR analysis.

“…Epidemiological studies have linked air pollution with a number of detrimental outcomes such as, hospital admissions (Colucci et al 2006; Vigotti et al 2007), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Gan et al 2013), lung cancer (Yanagi et al 2012), asthma (Karakatsani et al 2012) and cardiovascular disease (Beckerman et al 2012; Brook et al 2010; Chang et al 2013; Chiu et al 2013; Mazzoli-Rocha et al 2010; Nishiwaki et al 2012). PM has been found to be the major component of air pollution that has the most deleterious effects on human health (Colucci et al 2006; Samet and Krewski 2007).…”

Airborne particulate matter (PM) exposure is a major environmental health concern and is linked to metabolic disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes, which are on the rise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study investigated changes in mouse lung gene expression produced by administration of PM10 collected from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. FVB/N mice were exposed to 100 µg PM10 or water by aspiration and euthanized 24 hr later. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and analyzed for neutrophil concentration and TNF-α and IL-6 levels. RNA was extracted from the lungs and whole transcript was analyzed using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array. Mice exposed to PM10 displayed an increase in neutrophil concentration and elevated TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Gene expression analysis revealed that mice exposed to PM10 displayed 202 genes that were significantly up-regulated and 40 genes that were significantly down-regulated. PM10 induced genes involved in inflammation, cholesterol and lipid metabolism, as well as atherosclerosis. This is the first study to demonstrate that Saudi Arabia PM10 increases in vivo expression of genes located in pathways associated with diseases involving metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis.
