“…Although the magnitude of the association was less extreme, our finding of higher papillary carcinoma incidence rates among U.S. military personnel is in agreement with an Italian study, which observed a one- to two-fold higher than expected standardized incidence ratio for thyroid cancer among Army servicemen who were deployed to Bosnia or Kosovo (25). However, the reasons for the higher incidence rate in the U.S. military compared to the general population or the variation in rates by service branch are not clear.…”

BACKGROUND Increases in thyroid papillary carcinoma incidence rates have largely been attributed to heightened medical surveillance and improved diagnostics. We examined papillary carcinoma incidence in an equal-access healthcare system by demographics, which are related to incidence. METHODS Incidence rates during 1990-2004 among white and black individuals aged 20-49 years in the military and the general U.S. population were compared using data from the Department of Defense’s Automated Central Tumor Registry and the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER-9) program. RESULTS Incidence was significantly higher in the military than in the general population among white women [incidence rate ratio (IRR)=1.42, 95% 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.25-1.61], black women (IRR=2.31, 95% CI=1.70-2.99), and black men (IRR=1.69, 95% CI=1.10-2.50). Among whites, differences between the two populations were confined to rates of localized tumors (women: IRR=1.73, 95% CI=1.47-2.00; men: IRR=1.51, 95% CI=1.30-1.75), which may partially be due to variation in staging classification. Among white women, rates were significantly higher in the military regardless of tumor size, and rates rose significantly over time both for tumors ≤2 cm (military: IRR=1.64, 95% CI=1.18-2.28; general population: IRR=1.55, 95% CI=1.45-1.66) and >2 cm (military: IRR=1.74, 95% CI=1.07-2.81; general population: IRR=1.48, 95% CI=1.27-1.72). Among white men, rates increased significantly only in the general population. Incidence also varied by military service branch. CONCLUSIONS Heightened medical surveillance does not appear to fully explain the differences between the two populations or the temporal increases in either population. IMPACT These findings suggest the importance of future research into thyroid cancer etiology.

“…Peragallo's (Peragallo et al, 2011), Leong-Soo Im's (Jeong-Soo et al, 2000), Bailly's (Bailly et al, 2011) studies were almost identical to the present study, while Kroll's (Kroll ME et al, 2011) results were not similar to this study. Totally, the comparison between the previous studies and the present study shows that in previous studies in some age groups like young or children patients the percentages of cancer registration were higher than the other age groups which is maybe because of the special concern about the cancer in early ages in developed countries.…”

“…When only 2 sources of data are available, as is the case for dengue surveillance in metropolitan France at the national level, statistical alternatives are necessary. In our study, the alternative used was the Chao estimator which relaxes the assumption that sources are independent, and provides more reliable estimates when the differences between the identifying probabilities of the 2 sources are large ( 26 , 27 ). In contrast, with increasing dependencies between sources, the commonly used CS estimator underestimates the true number of cases ( 14 ).…”

Imported dengue cases pose the public health risk for local circulation in European areas, especially southeast France, where the Aedes mosquito is established. Using a capture–recapture method with Chao’s estimator, we estimated the annual incidence of dengue fever and the completeness of existing mandatory notification and laboratory network surveillance systems. During 2007–2010, >8,300 cases with laboratory evidence of recent dengue infection were diagnosed. Of these cases, 4,500 occurred in 2010, coinciding with intense epidemics in the French West Indies. Over this 4-year period, 327 cases occurred in southeast France during the vector activity period. Of these, 234 cases occurred in 2010, most of them potentially viremic. Completeness of the mandatory notification and laboratory network systems were ≈10% and 40%, respectively, but higher in southeast areas during May–November (32% and 69%, respectively). Dengue surveillance systems in France provide complementary information that is essential to the implementation of control measures.
