Abstract: Cancer incidence rates vary widely in Brazil. The literature on the subject for the western Amazon region is scarce. This study aimed to determine cancer incidence in the population of Rio Branco, Acre State. A total of 718 new cases were recorded during the study period. Among men, the five leading cancer sites were prostate (ASR 75.1), stomach (ASR 23.0), lung (ASR 19.1), colon and rectum (ASR 9.5), and leukemia (ASR 6.9). Among women, they were breast (ASR 41.5), cervix (ASR 41.3), lung (ASR 11.8), colon an… Show more

“…Environmental factors might be related to the high incidence of these neoplasms in the northern and northeastern regions, or for some reason the HDGC frequency is higher than elsewhere in the world, where sporadic gastric cancer is also endemic, such as Japan and Korea. In particular, Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection during childhood as well as the high consumption of salt-preserved foods, infrequent use of refrigeration and low consumption rates of cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables are considered risk factors for gastrointestinal tumors [52-55]. …”

“…27,28 The incidence of gastric cancer is high in Asia-Pacific regions including Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Malaysia as well as South America, Central Europe, South Africa, and Russia. [29][30][31] The reported incidence of gastric cancer is much lower in the United States but is significantly higher among African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans compared with Caucasians. 4,32 Between 2007 and 2011, the incidence of gastric cancer in the United States per 100,000 men was 9.2 for Caucasians, compared with 15.3 for African Americans, 14.9 for Asians, 12.9 for Native Americans, and 14.8 for Hispanics.…”

“…Furthermore, there were several complications related to transplanting such as rejection, infection and those related to immunosuppressive. So, the success of the kidney transplant depends on the maintenance of functioning graft (Nakashima et al, 2012). The nurses who will gain more information about infection control that may decrease post-operative infection for kidney transplantation patients.…”
