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.

To what extent is male excess risk of advanced colorectal neoplasms explained by known risk factors? Results from a large German screening population

Tobias Niedermaier et al.

Summary: The incidence and prevalence of colorectal cancer and its precursors are higher in males than in females in many countries, but the reasons for this difference are not fully understood. The male excess risk of colorectal cancer is partially explained by medical, lifestyle, and dietary factors, which account for 47% of the risk. The risk of advanced neoplasia increases in males from the proximal colon to the distal colon and rectum, with different proportions of excess risk explained by covariates in different segments of the colon.
