Unicentric prospective case control study comparing organochlorine levels including patients diagnosed with a pancreatic adenocarcinoma undergoing a surgery allowing to collect an adipose tissue sample (10g).
Controls are adults with no pancreatic cancer (excluded by a 6 months old computed
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States
The American Cancer Society estimates lung cancer incidence in the United States for 2018 to be about 234,030 and about 154,050 deaths.
In 2012, GLOBOCAN estimated that 1.8 million people were diagnosed with lung cancer,
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent non cutaneous cancer in occidental countries. In Brazil incidence was about sixty thousand new cases in 2016 and occupied second place as all cancer mortality, just behind lung cancer. Literature shows than younger patients tend to have more aggressive
Barrett's esophagus (BE), is a condition whereby normal esophageal squamous epithelium is replaced by metaplastic columnar epithelium, predisposing patients to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). It is estimated that about 5.6% of adults in the United States have BE with risk factors including: long
The burden of gastric adenocarcinoma is unevenly distributed, with several Asian and Latin American countries having particularly high incidence rates. Although chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of this cancer, environmental and host cofactors modify the course of
Malnutrition is characterized by a negative energy balance due to a deep skeletal muscular loss, which is itself secondary to the reduction of intake and metabolic abnormalities aggravating the loss of weight. Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, the consequences of which are a decrease
Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common, serious complication of ERCP. More than 500,000 ERCP procedures are performed from which 25,000 cases of PEP occur in the U.S.A. annually. PEP accounts for significant morbidity and health care
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality in both men and women. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 160,340 lung cancer related deaths occurred in 2012, accounting for about 28% of all cancer related deaths. Approximately 85% of lung cancer is classified as non-small-cell lung cancer
Obesity is defined qualitatively by the World Health Organization, is "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. Obesity is now estimated to lead to 280,000 deaths each year in the U.S., making it the second most common cause of preventable death only behind tobacco[1]. Obesity
According to WHO, 25% of lung cancer worldwide occurs in lifelong never smokers. Lung cancer in never smokers (LCINS) shows many clinical, epidemiological, molecular and genomic differences comparing to tobacco-related neoplasm. So, it is now considered as a separate entity. LCINS particularly
Background:
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among men and women worldwide (1). In 2007, 213,380 new cases of lung cancer were registered; from these cases, 160,390 deaths were reported. This number represents 15% of the total cases and 29% of cancer-related deaths in the
This pilot study will assess the feasibility of completing the first formal case-control study to examine etiologic factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Kenya and will be conducted in Western Kenya, a high-risk area for ESCC.
Esophageal cancer causes over 380,000 deaths per year
Brain metastases occur in 30-50% of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) patients and confer a worse prognosis and quality of life. A better selection of in-risk patients through a more accurate biomarker could improve the benefit of prophylactic therapies. The aim of this prospective study was to determine a
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is defined as a change in the esophageal mucosa from normal squamous epithelium to columnar epithelium with intestinal metaplasia (1). There is compelling evidence that BE is a precursor lesion for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (2). There is also evidence that the
Lung cancer is the most lethal of all malignant tumors affecting humans. In the United States alone an estimated 160,440 patients died of lung cancer 2004[1]. It is well known that tobacco smoking is a major risk factor and accounts for the majority of all lung cancer cases. But there is a sub group
