Importance: Cancer prevention and care efforts have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic and armed conflicts, resulting in a decline in the global Human Development Index (HDI), particularly in low- and middle-income countries. These challenges and subsequent shifts in health care priorities underscore the need to continuously monitor cancer outcome disparities and statistics globally to ensure delivery of equitable and optimal cancer prevention and care in uncertain times.
Objective: To measure the global burden of 36 cancers in 2022 by sex, age, and geographic location and to project future trends by 2050.
Importance: Racial disparities in prostate cancer are likely the result of complex relationships between both socioeconomic and environmental factors captured by the neighborhood environment and genetic factors, including West African genetic ancestry. However, few studies have examined the combined role of neighborhood environment and genetic ancestry in developing lethal prostate cancer.
Objective: To examine the interactions between West African genetic ancestry and neighborhood deprivation in modifying prostate cancer risk and mortality.
Article Synopsis
- Statins have been thought to lower the risk of gallstones due to their anti-inflammatory properties, but this study specifically looked at their effects on inflammation in Chilean women with gallstones.
- Researchers analyzed 400 women (200 with statin use and 200 without) to see if statins influenced 92 different inflammatory biomarkers.
- The results showed no significant links between statin use and inflammation markers, indicating that statins do not effectively reduce inflammation after gallstones have developed.
Background: Prior studies showed that neighborhood deprivation increases the risk of lethal prostate cancer. However, the role of neighborhood gentrification in prostate cancer development and outcome remains poorly understood. We examined the relationships of gentrification with prostate cancer and serum proteome-defined inflammation and immune function in a diverse cohort.
