“…Although a small annually decline of smoking rate (1.2% for men and 0.6% for women) was shown in a study conducted in Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2005 through 2008 [14] , the situation for lung cancer control in Beijing was still serious. If no additional progress is made in reducing smoking-initiation rates and increasing cessation rates, the prevalence of smoking in Beijing, similar to the national data in 1984 and 1996 [13] , will be continue to rise and the burden of the cancers associated with smoking will be more and more heavy.…”

“…Cigarette smoking is the most important risk factor of causing lung cancer [11,12] . According to the results of 1984 and 1996 National Smoking Surveys in China, the overall smoking prevalence was 33.9% (61.0% for men and 7.0% for women) in 1984 while it was 37.6%, with 66.9% in men and 4.2% in women in 1996 [13] . Although a small annually decline of smoking rate (1.2% for men and 0.6% for women) was shown in a study conducted in Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2005 through 2008 [14] , the situation for lung cancer control in Beijing was still serious.…”

Objective: To report the time trends of cancer incidence in urban Beijing from 1998 to 2007. Methods: All data were obtained from Beijing Cancer Registry from 1998-2007 in urban Beijing. Time trends of incidence rate of cancer were assessed by annual percentage change (APC) of age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of world standard population during this 10-year period.Results: For all 156851 cancer cases combined, the incidence rate rose in both males and females, with an APC of 2.23% and 3.74%, respectively. The incidence rate of upper gastrointestinal cancers declined significantly, with an APC of -2.83% in esophageal cancer and -1.37% in male gastric cancer, while lower gastrointestinal cancer, such as colorectal cancer, increased with an APC of 4.08%. The rates of kidney and bladder cancer increased with an APC of 7.93% and 5.57%, respectively. For women, the APC continued to rise in breast cancer (4.98%), ovary cancer (6.16%), cervix uteri cancer (11.74%), corpus uteri cancer (6.96%) and thyroid gland cancer (13.39%). The rate of prostate cancer among men increased with an APC of 8.58%; the rate of lymphoma and leukemia increased with APC of 5.48% and 5.44%, respectively.Conclusion: Because of population aging and urban modernization, the cancer burden in Beijing has become more and more severe and similar to the western developed countries.

“…Boffetta highlighted tobacco control as another major accomplishment for cancer prevention. He provided descriptive data on the United States and China (8) showing the parallels between the 2 countries. Whereas approximately 10% of total deaths in the 1950s was due to tobacco smoking among U.S. adults, tobacco smoking was responsible for approximately 10% of total death in 1990 in Chinese men.…”

“…Boffetta then went on to mention a similar project in China that focused on estimating cancer incidence and mortality attributable to tobacco smoking, infection, overweight, obesity, physical inactivity, and alcohol drinking (8)(9)(10)(11). China serves as an illustrative example because it has much better epidemiologic data compared with other developing countries.…”

As cancer incidence and mortality rates increase in low-and middle-income countries, the need for cancer prevention and control research directed to these countries becomes increasingly important. The American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) is a community of professionals in cancer prevention and control whose mission is to "foster the continuing development of investigators and the exchange and translation of scientific information to reduce the cancer burden."In the session presented at the ASPO 36th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC in March 2012, chaired by Drs. Frank Meyskens and Dejana Braithwaite, Dr. Paolo Boffetta discussed some of the achievements in global cancer prevention and suggested that future efforts focus on three major causes of cancer: tobacco-use, infections, and overweight/obesity. Dr. Timothy Rebbeck presented an overview of prostate cancer research in sub-Saharan Africa and highlighted how the complex nature of prostate cancer etiology and outcomes can be addressed through capacity-building research partnerships.Cancer is an emerging public health challenge in developing countries because of the aging and expansion of the population and increased prevalence of cancer risk factors such as smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and reproductive factors. There are opportunities to reduce the growing cancer burden through the development of research capacity and the application of resource-appropriate interventions.

Objective: To provide an evidence-based and consistent assessment of the burden of cancer attributable to inadequate fruit and vegetable intake in China in 2005.Methods: The proportions of cancers attributable to low consumption of vegetable and fruit were calculated separately to estimate the burden of related cancers for the year 2005 in China. Data on the prevalence of exposure were derived from a Chinese nutrition and health survey. Data on relative risks were mainly derived from meta-analysis. Attributable fractions were calculated based on the counterfactual scenario which was a shift in the exposure distribution.Results: The total cancer burden attributable to inadequate consumption of fruit was up to 233,000 deaths (13.0% of all cancers) and 300,000 cases (11.6% of all cancers) in 2005. Increasing consumption of vegetable to the highest quintile could avoid total cancer deaths and cases by 3.6% (64,000 persons) and 3.4% (88,000 persons). The contributions to cancer burden were higher in rural areas than in urban areas. They have greater influence on men than on women. The largest proportions of cancer burden attributable to low fruit and vegetable intake were for oral and pharyngeal cancers.Conclusion: This study showed that inadequate intake of fruit and vegetable makes a significant contribution to the cancer burden. Increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable could prevent many cancer deaths and save many lives. Promoting the consumption of fruit and vegetable is an important component in diet-based strategies for preventing cancer.
