Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

The Use of Visceral Proteins as Nutrition Markers: An ASPEN Position Paper

David C. Evans et al.

Summary: Serum albumin and prealbumin are not reliable markers for nutrition assessment as they mainly reflect inflammation in the body instead of nutritional status or protein-energy malnutrition. Inflammation in critical or chronic illnesses leads to a redistribution of serum proteins and lower concentrations of albumin and prealbumin, making them better indicators of patient risk for adverse outcomes.
