“…The age of incidence does not show much difference between men and women, but is slightly higher than the average age reported by other studies conducted in other parts of the world (Bashash et al, 2008). The ratio of incidence in men to women is larger than one consistent with international and regional reports (Boyle and Levin, 2008;Babaei et al, 2009;Mohagheghi et al, 2009;Sadjadi et al, 2010;Amani et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013).…”

Background: Having knowledge or estimation of cancer incidence is necessary for planning and implementation of any cancer prevention and control programs. Population-based registries provide valuable information to achieve these objectives but require extra techniques to estimate the incidence rate. The present study aimed to estimate the esophageal cancer incidence using a log-linear method based on Tehran population-based cancer registry data. Materials and Methods: New cases of esophageal cancer reported by three sources of pathology reports, medical records, and death certificates to Tehran Metropolitan Area Cancer Registry Center during 2002-2006 were entered into the study and the incidence rate was estimated based on log-linear models. We used Akaike statistics to select the best-fit model. Results: During 2002-2006, 1,458 new cases of esophageal cancer were reported by the mentioned sources to the population-based cancer registry. Based on the reported cases, cancer incidence was 4.5 per 100,000 population and this was estimated to be 10.5 per 100,000 by the log-linear method. Conclusions: Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that an estimated incidence for 2004 of 8.3 per 100,000 population could be a good benchmark for the incidence of esophageal cancer in the population of Tehran metropolis.

“…In previous years, most BMEC reports came from the United States and Japan, whereas fewer reports have come from China, where more cases of this disease have been found [17] but where the investigation has been focused on the diagnosis and treatment of BMEC [18] . The United States was the first to attach great importance to BMEC; this emphasis was followed by substantial research worldwide on the diagnosis and treatment of BMEC.…”

Brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma (BMEC) is very rare, but its incidence has increased in the United States, Japan, China and other counties. Reports on BMEC have largely been focused on examining whether adjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer influences the survival duration of BMEC patients and on the imaging characteristics of BMEC determined using new medical equipment. The difference between different pathological types of esophageal cancer, especially adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, is one important factor used to assess the influence of BMEC. Adjuvant therapy, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, for esophageal cancer with different characteristics in different countries may affect BMEC treatment outcomes. The degree of popularization of advanced medical equipment is a major concern related to the prevalence of BMEC. Furthermore, targeted BMEC treatment is under development in developed countries. In this article, we reviewed the debate surrounding BMEC and analyzed BMEC studies from different perspectives.

“…There is also a wide geographic variation of this cancer within China. Yanting County, located in the southeast part of the country, is one of the highest risk areas of gastric cancer, with an incidence rate of 138.37/10 5 for males and 68.04/10 5 for females, according to 2007 data (Zou et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2013). Although there was a decline of this cancer mortality across the country (Guo et al, 2012), the incidence of cardia gastric carcinoma increased gradually in Yanting area during 1988-2007(Li et al, 2011.…”

To investigate the association between salt processed food and gastric cancer, a hospital based case-control study was conducted in a high risk area of China. One hundred and seven newly diagnosed cases with histological confirmation of gastric cancer and 209 controls were recruited. Information on dietary intake was collected with a validated food frequency questionnaire. Unconditional logistic regression was applied to estimate the odds ratios with adjustment for other potential confounders. Comparing the high intake group with never consumption of salt processed foods, salted meat, pickled vegetables and preserved vegetables were significantly associated with increased risk of gastric cancer. Meanwhile, salt taste preference in diet showed a dose-response relationship with gastric cancer. Our results suggest that consumption of salted meat, pickled and preserved vegetables, are positively associated with gastric cancer. Reduction of salt and salt processed food in diets might be one practical measure to preventing gastric cancer.
