Prostate cancer incidence and mortality in the Baltic states, Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine

2019

BackgroundProstate cancer incidence varies internationally largely attributable to differences in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) use. The aim of this study was to provide the most recent detailed international epidemiological comparison of prostate cancer incidence and mortality in six north-eastern European countries (Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Russian Federation and Ukraine).MethodsThe number of incident prostate cancer cases was obtained from the countries national cancer registries. Prostate cancer mortality and corresponding population data were extracted from the WHO Mortality Database. Age-specific and age-standardised incidence and mortality rates were calculated (Eur…

Interobserver variation in assessment of gastric premalignant lesions: higher agreement for intestinal metaplasia than for atrophy.

2013

Background Either atrophy or intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa are considered premalignant lesions. The new operative link for gastritis assessment staging system is based on the detection of atrophy, and the operative link for assessment of intestinal metaplasia staging system is based on the detection of intestinal metaplasia. Good interobserver agreement is necessary for identification of any premalignant condition. Aims The aim of this study was to compare the agreement between findings of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia by expert and general pathologists and to analyze the possible reasons behind any possible disagreement. Methods Patients with dyspeptic symptoms, a…

2012

ABSTRACT Introduction According to GLOBOCAN 2008 data gastric cancer currently is the fourth most common cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer death. The objective of this study was to get comparable data on gastric cancer for 30 years period, to analyze the trends of incidence and mortality in Latvia and to compare with situation in other countries. Methods Incidence and mortality data from 1980 to 2010 in Latvia were obtained from the National Health Service. IARC (GLOBOCAN 2008) database was used for international comparisons. Incidence and mortality rates were age standardized to the World Standard Population and expressed per 100,000 population. Results There were…
