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.

Cancer statistics for the year 2020: An overview

Jacques Ferlay et al.

Summary: The study briefly reviews the methods and data sources used in compiling the IARC GLOBOCAN cancer statistics for 2020 and summarizes the main results. It estimated that there were nearly 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2020, with the most commonly diagnosed cancers being female breast cancer and lung cancer, and the most common causes of cancer death being lung cancer and liver cancer.

Genetic analysis in European ancestry individuals identifies 517 loci associated with liver enzymes

Raha Pazoki et al.

Summary: The study identified genetic variants associated with plasma concentration of liver enzymes and their links to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases through genome-wide association study. Replication in multiple studies confirmed liver enzyme SNPs and genetic risk score analysis showed strong associations with liver enzyme activity in European descent populations. Gene-set enrichment analysis highlighted involvement in liver development and function, lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and vascular formation. Additionally, Mendelian randomization analysis revealed associations with coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke.
