Article Synopsis
- - The study examines gastric cancer (GC) trends in Spain from 1990 to 2019, focusing on differences in incidence by sex and age.
- - While the total number of GC cases slightly increased, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) declined annually by 1.8% for both men and women, with men consistently having a higher burden of the disease.
- - Notably, there was a significant decrease in ASIR among younger adults (<35 years), but a concerning rise was found in young men (25-34 years) between 2014-2019, indicating a need for further exploration of risk factors specific to this group.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate how age, period, and cohort (A-P-C) impact colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in Spain from 1990 to 2019.
Method: Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, we used joinpoint analysis to identify long-term trends and A-P-C modelling to quantify net drift, local drift, longitudinal age curves, and rate ratios (RRs) of period and cohort effects.
Results: CRC incidence increased steadily in Spain from 1990 to 2019, with a more significant rise in males than in females.
Combined with a physical examination, clinical ultrasound offers a valuable complement that can help guide clinical decision-making. In various medical and surgical specialties, it is increasingly used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Due to recent technological advances, smaller and more affordable ultrasound machines are now being developed for use in home hospice care.
