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.

Association between Low-Grade Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CINP) and Survival in Patients with Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

Martina Catalano et al.

Summary: The combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine has shown greater efficacy in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer patients compared to gemcitabine alone but with a higher risk of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CINP). Patients experiencing CINP may have a more favorable outcome, with higher disease control rates and prolonged median survival than those without neuropathy.

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, Version 2.2021

Margaret A. Tempero et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with a major challenge being advanced disease at diagnosis. While survival rates have not significantly changed, newer treatments, including targeted therapies, offer hope for patients. The manuscript focuses on systemic therapy approaches for locally advanced and metastatic disease.
