In 1977 a retrospective study was started into the cancer incidence in the Netherlands Antilles, simultaneously with the onset of a cancer registry. This paper presents the results of this study and of the running registry, together covering a period of 12 years. In total, 1496 cancer cases were registered in males, and 1480 in females. The resulting age-standardized cancer rate (World Standard Population) was 215 cases per 100,000 males and 164 cases per 100,000 females. The most frequently involved primary sites in males were, in order of frequency, lung, stomach, prostate, skin, and esophagus. Cancer in females was most frequently found in breast, uterine cervix, skin, stomach and esophagus. A comparison is made with countries inside and outside the Caribbean region, and a short comment is made on possibly etiologic factors.

Background: We assessed association among household income, overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) after proctectomy for rectal cancer.
Methods: Population-based cohort study included stage I-III rectal adenocarcinoma patients who underwent proctectomy (2010-2020), subdivided by household income at diagnosis [low (<$50,000), average ($50,000-74,999), above-average (≥$75,000)] and compared.

Purpose: Precision medicine plays an important role in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. Despite its high incidence in White patients, advanced melanoma is rare in Asian countries, hampering prospective clinical trials targeting the Asian population. This retrospective study aimed to elucidate the real-world molecular diagnoses and outcomes of Japanese patients with melanoma using comprehensive genome profiling (CGP).

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological cancers. Despite diagnosis and treatment advances, survival rates have not increased over the past 32 years. This study estimated and reported the global burden of ovarian cancer during the past 32 years to inform preventative and control strategies.
