BACKGROUND: Cure fraction-the proportion of persons considered cured of cancer after long- term follow-up-reflects the total impact of cancer control strategies, including screening, without lead-time bias. Previous studies have not reported stage-stratified cure fraction across the spectrum of cancer types. METHODS: Using a mixture cure model, we estimated cure fraction across stages for 21 cancer types and additional subtypes. Cause-specific survival for 2.4 million incident cancers came from 17 US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries for adults 40-84 years at diagnosis in 2006-2015, followed through 2020...

BACKGROUND: This study evaluates the relationship between smoking, alcohol, and breast cancer outcomes according to molecular subtype. METHODS: This population-based prospective cohort consisted of 3,876 women aged 20-69 diagnosed with a first primary invasive breast cancer from 2004 through 2015 in the Seattle-Puget Sound region. Breast cancer was categorized into three subtypes based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression: luminal (ER+), triple-negative (TN) (ER-/PR-/HER2-), and HER2-overexpressing (H2E) (ER-/HER2+)...

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether health-related quality of life (HRQOL) disparities exist between racial/ethnic groups in older patients with esophageal cancer, pre- and post-diagnosis. METHODS: Using the SEER-MHOS national database, we included patients 65 years old or greater with esophageal cancer diagnosed from 1996-2017. HRQOL data within 36 months before and after diagnosis were measured by the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores from the SF-36® and VR-12 instruments...

BACKGROUND: Lower levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG), the decoy receptor for RANK-ligand, have been reported among women with a BRCA1 mutation, suggesting OPG may be marker of cancer risk. Whether various reproductive, hormonal, or lifestyle factors impact OPG levels in these women is unknown. METHODS: BRCA1 mutation carriers enrolled in a longitudinal study, no history of cancer, and a serum sample for OPG quantification, were included. Exposure information was collected through self-reported questionnaire at study enrollment and every two years thereafter...

BACKGROUND: Cancer is becoming more of a chronic disease due to improvements in treatment and early detection for multiple cancer sites. To gain insight on increased life expectancy due to these improvements, we quantified trends in the loss in expectation of life (LEL) due to a cancer diagnosis for six cancer sites from 1975 through 2018. METHODS: We focused on patients diagnosed with female breast cancer, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), colon and rectum cancer (CRC), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), lung cancer, or melanoma between 1975 and 2018 from nine Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registries...

BACKGROUND: We investigated differences in cumulative incidence of first distant recurrence following non-metastatic breast cancer over a time period when new adjuvant therapies became available in Australia. METHODS: We conducted a health record linkage study of females with localized (T1-3N0) or regional (T4 or N+) breast cancer in the New South Wales Cancer Registry in 2001-2002 and 2006-2007. We linked cancer registry records with administrative records from hospitals, dispensed medicines, radiotherapy services and death registrations to estimate the 9-year cumulative incidence of distant recurrence and describe use of adjuvant treatment...

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), defined by the presence of three of more metabolic dysregulations such as hyperlipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, central obesity, and hypertension, has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and various cancers, including invasive breast cancer (IBC). Whether MetS is a risk factor for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast (DCIS), a non-obligate precursor of IBC, remains unknown. METHODS: A total of 198,748 women aged 40-69 years, DCIS- and IBC-free at enrolment in UK Biobank, were included in the present study...

A decade ago, studies in human populations first revealed the existence of a unique microbial community in the breast, a tissue historically viewed as sterile, with microbial origins seeded through the nipple and/or translocation from other body sites. Since then, research efforts have been made to characterize the microbiome in healthy and cancerous breast tissues. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence for the association of the breast microbiome with breast cancer risk and progression...

BACKGROUND: KRAS is among the most commonly mutated oncogenes in cancer, and previous studies have shown associations with survival in many cancer contexts. Evidence from both clinical observations and mouse experiments further suggests that these associations are allele- and tissue-specific. These findings motivate using clinical data to understand gene interactions and clinical covariates within different alleles and tissues. METHODS: We analyze genomic and clinical data from the AACR Project GENIE Biopharma Collaborative for samples from lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested anthocyanidins or anthocyanidin-rich foods and extracts exhibit protective effects against various cancers. However, the relationship between dietary anthocyanidins and the risk of biliary cancer remains uncertain. METHODS: This study used data from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial to investigate the relationship between total anthocyanidins intake and biliary cancer incidence. Cox regression analysis was conducted to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the incidence of biliary cancer, with adjustments made for confounding factors...
