Article Synopsis
- - Cancer is the leading cause of death in children aged 1-14 and the second leading cause for adolescents aged 15-19 in Spain, prompting the establishment of a Cancer Registry in Madrid for monitoring incidence and survival rates.
- - A retrospective analysis of childhood and adolescent cancer cases (0-19 years) from the registry revealed an age-standardized incidence rate of 192.7 cases per million person-years in Madrid, with the most common types being CNS tumours, leukaemias, and lymphomas.
- - There was a similar proportion of metastatic tumours at diagnosis for younger (0-14) and older (15-19) age groups, both around 18.6%, indicating a consistent cancer
Burden of postmenopausal breast cancer attributable to excess body weight: comparative study of body mass index and CUN-BAE in MCC-Spain study.
J Epidemiol Community Health
December 2024
Background: 10% of postmenopausal breast cancer cases are attributed to a high body mass index (BMI). BMI underestimates body fat, particularly in older women, and therefore the cancer burden attributable to obesity may be even higher. However, this is not clear.

- * It analyzed data from 805 CRC survivors using the SF-12 and FCSI questionnaires, revealing that factors like age, sex, and geographic area significantly impact both physical and mental quality of life.
- * The findings suggest that older women have the worst HRQoL scores, indicating a need to identify these factors to create strategies that improve survivorship outcomes and reduce the negative impacts of cancer.
Background: Aspirin and statins have been suggested to have potential chemopreventive effects against gastric cancer (GC), although the results of previous studies have been inconsistent. This study therefore aimed to investigate the association between the use of aspirin and statins and GC.
Methods: A pooled analysis of seven case-control studies within the Stomach Cancer Pooling Project, including 3220 cases and 9752 controls, was conducted.
Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most frequent tumor in men worldwide; however, its etiology remains largely unknown, with the exception of age and family history. The wide variability in incidence/mortality across countries suggests a certain role for environmental exposures that has not yet been clarified.
Objective: To evaluate the association between risk of PC (by clinical profile) and residential proximity to pollutant industrial installations (by industrial groups, groups of carcinogens, and specific pollutants released), within the context of a Spanish population-based multicase-control study of incident cancer (MCC-Spain).
