“…Cigarettes have been determined to be the most important risk factor for cancer �Döşemeci et al, 1997�. The smoking-related cancer sites were also as observed in other countries (Levi et al, 1996;Howe et al, 2001). …”

“…The increase in incidence rates has been evidenced also in France; rates increased from the 1970s to 1980, and then in 1990s they leveled off in males but continued to increase in females (Menegoz et al, 1997). Also, in Switzerland from 1974 to 1993, there was an increase in the overall incidence rates, whereas mortality remained approximately stable (Levi et al, 1996). Cancer incidence trends in central Italy from mid-1980s to late 1990s showed some differences between sexes (Crocetti et al, 2002).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective information about cancer incidence is important for planning control programs. We examined the distribution of cancer cases recorded in Denizli province, Turkey. A total of 2185 cancer cases reported to the Denizli Province Health Ministry's Cancer Early Diagnosis Center during the years 2000-2004 were evaluated for sociodemographic characteristics, cigarette use, family history, and organ systems. Among these cases, 56% were male and 44% were female; 45.1% of the patients had smoked cigarettes at some time and there was a 10-fold increase in lung cancer and a 4-fold increase in urinary cancers among cigarette smokers (P < 0.001). We found that 34.4% of the cancer cases were diagnosed as localized, 27.9% had a more extensive distribution and 21.8% were in metastasis. The most frequent types were urinary cancers at 26.4%, gastrointestinal cancers at 19.2% and respiratory cancers at 18.9%; there was a significant increase in gastrointestinal, blood and skin cancers over the years. Lung (14.9%), breast (14.1%), bladder (8.0%), prostate (5.3%), and lymphatic (4.8%) cancer cases were the most common.

“…The rises observed in incidence of borderline ovarian tumours up to the early 1990s, however, are not paralleled by invasive ovarian cancer trends in this population (Levi et al, 1996). This suggests that increased diagnostic attention and changes in the classification may at least in part explain observed rises, although new risk factors, such as treatments for fertility, have been associated with the risk of borderline ovarian cancers (Rossing et al, 1994;Parazzini et al, 1998).…”

Borderline ovarian tumours in Vaud, Switzerland: incidence, survival and second neoplasms

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Summary Between 1976 and 1996, 176 borderline ovarian tumours were registered in the Cancer Registry of the Swiss canton of Vaud, corresponding to an age-adjusted incidence (world standard) of 2.7 in 100 000. Incidence rose from 1.7 per 100 000 during 1976-81 to 2.7 per 100 000 during 1987-91, and then levelled off; 58% of cases were serous and 41% mucinous. Relative survival was 94% at 10 years; 18 second neoplasms were observed, compared with 10.3 expected, and there was a significant excess of invasive ovarian cancers (four observed, including three synchronous, compared with 0.4 expected).
