概括
癌症幸存者面临患上后续原发性癌症 (SPC) 的风险增加,对于特定的第一个原发性癌症类型和女性而言,风险更高. 吸烟和肥胖等生活方式因素对SPC发病率和死亡率有很大影响.
科学领域:
- 癌症学
- 癌症流行病学
- 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 癌症幸存者的后续原发性癌症 (SPC) 发生率正在上升,但关于这些风险的综合数据有限.
- 了解这些风险对于改善长期生存护理和癌症预防策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在成人癌症幸存者中量化SPC的发展和死亡的整体和癌症类型的风险.
- 根据第一个原发性癌症 (FPC) 和性别分析这些风险.
主要方法:
- 一个回顾性队列研究,利用12个美国监测,流行病学和最终结果 (SEER) 注册表的数据.
- 包括1992年至2011年间诊断的1,537,101名成年癌症幸存者,在诊断后至少存活5年.
- 与一般人群相比,使用标准化发病率 (SIR) 和标准化死亡率 (SMR) 来评估SPC的发病率和死亡率.
主要成果:
- 与一般人群相比,幸存者患上SPC和死亡的风险显著增加,FPC类型和性别有所不同.
- 在男性中,18种FPC类型显示增加SPC发育风险,27种显示增加死亡风险. 在女性中,21种FPC类型显示增加SPC发育风险,28种显示增加死亡风险.
- 男性的喉癌和胆囊癌以及女性的喉癌的风险最高. 肺癌是SPC死亡的主要原因 (31-33%).
结论:
- 几种原发性癌症显著增加了幸存者的后续癌症和相关死亡率的风险.
- 与吸烟和肥胖相关的癌症是导致整体SPC负担的重要因素.
- 强调需要对癌症幸存者进行持续的监测和有针对性的预防工作.

Cancer Survival Analysis
532
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Cancer Prevention
7.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
13.6K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Tumor Progression
6.9K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Actuarial Approach
199
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
9.9K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
