[Needs in coverage and care for lung cancer in Mexico].

Objective: To analyze the coverage of lung cancer in Mexico and offer recommendations in this regard.

Materials And Methods: By means of the conformation of a multidisciplinary group, we analyze the burden of the disease relative to the lung cancer and the access to the medical treatment offered by the different public health subsystems in Mexico.

Results: Important inequalities in lung cancer care are documented among the different public health subsystems.

Challenges in the development and implementation of the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program in Mexico.

Chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including cancer, have become the leading cause of human morbidity and mortality. In Mexico, cancer is the third leading cause of death, with a high incidence among the economically active population, a high proportion of advanced stages at diagnosis and limited care coverage for patients. However, no public policy aimed at managing this important public health problem has been developed and implemented to date.

Cancer mortality in the Mexican Social Security Institute, 1989-2013.

Unlabelled: Objetive: To analyze cancer mortality in affiliates of the Mexican Social Security Institute (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social - IMSS) and time trends in the risk of death due to cancer from 1989 to 2013.

Materials And Methods: A descriptive analysis of cancer mortality trends in beneficiaries of the IMSS was performed. Age- and sex-adjusted mortality rates were obtained using direct standardization with the WHO population.

[Estimation of health-care costs for cervical uterine neoplasm].

Objective: to value diagnostic stage and direct costs due to cervical cancer in insured workers and IMSS beneficiaries patients, during first year of treatment.

Methods: 80 records of patients with confirmed diagnosis of cervical cancer during 2000-2003 were analyzed. The study was made under provider public health services perspective, with focus in costs incidence during 2009.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the third most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Most of cases it is of epithelial origin. At the present time there is not a standardized screening method, which makes difficult the early diagnosis.

[The first Mexican consensus of endometrial cancer. Grupo de Investigación en Cáncer de Ovario y Tumores Ginecológicos de México].

Introduction: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the second most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide in the peri and postmenopausal period. Most often for the endometrioid variety. In early clinical stages long-term survival is greater than 80%, while in advanced stages it is less than 50%.

[Associated factors for women's non-compliance for cervical cancer screening].

Objective: To identify the associated factors for non-compliance among women for the cervical cancer screening program.

Methods: A case-control study was carried out in which cases were women who were just diagnosed with cervical cancer (confirmed with pathological study); controls were women not having cervical cancer (negative pathological study). Cases and controls had the same age, lived in the same geographical area and were selected from the primary care facilities.

[Laparoscopic hysterectomy in the surgical treatment of gynecological malignant and premalignant diseases].

Introduction: Laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) is a safe surgical approach that offers patients a faster recovery. However, its use in malignant or premalignant gynecological lesions is not well established. The objective of the present study was to show the feasibility of LH in a tertiary cancer center.

Nutritional determinants of epithelial ovarian cancer risk: a case-control study in Mexico.

Background: Variations in the incidence of cancer can be influenced by diet and specific lifestyles. In the last years, diet has been evaluated as an important factor in the development of ovarian cancer, even though the results have not been consistent. Dietary factors related to the risk of ovarian cancer in Mexican women were evaluated.
