Male breast cancer: an update

Stephen Fox et al.

Summary: Male breast cancer is rare but its incidence is increasing, with risk factors including increased longevity, obesity, testicular diseases, and BRCA2 mutations. Histologically, MBC is often grade 2, hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative, similar to female breast cancer but significant differences exist.

Breast Cancer in Italy: Stage and Region Distribution

Lucia Mangone et al.

Summary: This study describes the characteristics of breast cancer in Italy, including age, geographical area, stage, and sites of metastases. The study found regional differences in metastasis rates and identified age and metastasis sites as influencing factors for breast cancer cases. The study also estimated the number of breast cancer cases in each region.

Cancer Statistics, 2021

Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Every year, the American Cancer Society projects the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States, with the latest data showing a significant decline in lung cancer mortality, while prostate cancer mortality has plateaued and breast and colorectal cancer mortality have slowed. Improvements in treatment have accelerated progress against lung cancer, leading to a record drop in overall cancer mortality.

Efforts needed for preventing breast and colorectal cancer through changes in dietary patterns

Patrick Mullie et al.

Summary: Based on the largest prospective studies in the USA and Europe, researchers found that to prevent one case of female breast cancer, European women need to increase fruit and vegetable intake, while US women need to increase fruit intake. To prevent one case of colorectal cancer, both European and US subjects need to decrease red meat and processed meat intake.

Comprehensive trends in incidence, treatment, survival and mortality of first primary invasive breast cancer stratified by age, stage and receptor subtype in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2017

Daniel J. van Der Meer et al.

Summary: The incidence of breast cancer in the Netherlands has steadily increased since 1989, but recent trends show promising declines. Survival rates have significantly improved for most patients, and mortality has decreased regardless of age.

Cancer incidence, mortality, and burden in China: a time-trend analysis and comparison with the United States and United Kingdom based on the global epidemiological data released in 2020

Haibo Qiu et al.

Summary: Cancer is a major cause of death and economic burden in China, with lower incidence but higher mortality and DALY rates compared to the US and UK. The cancer spectrum in China is changing, with increasing burden of certain cancers and a shift towards patterns seen in developed countries.

Five-year relative survival by stage of breast and colon cancers in Italy

Lucia Mangone et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in 5-year relative survival of breast and colorectal cancer patients in a northern Italian province from 2000 to 2012, showing an overall stable increase in 5-year relative survival for breast cancer but no improvement for colorectal cancer survival in terms of stage and period. The introduction of screening in 2005 did, however, lead to a sharp decrease in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates.

In modern times, how important are breast cancer stage, grade and receptor subtype for survival: a population-based cohort study

Anna L. V. Johansson et al.

Summary: In breast cancer, the risk of death is influenced by factors such as IHC subtypes, grade, tumor size, and nodal status. Even with modern breast cancer treatment, stage, grade, and molecular subtype (reflected by IHC subtypes) continue to impact prognosis.
