There is inconclusive evidence regarding the effect of PUFA intake on gastric cancer in diverse populations. We, therefore, aimed to determine the association between PUFA intake and risk of gastric cancer in a hospital-based case-control study comprising 1182 incident cases of gastric cancer and 2965 controls in Vietnam. A semiquantitative validated food frequency questionnaire was used to derive PUFA intake. Unconditional logistic regression model was applied to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of gastric cancer in relation to PUFA intake. Overall, there was a dose-response inverse association between PUFA intake and gastric cancer risk (ORper-SD increment = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.65-0.79; Ptrend < 0.001). Compared with quintile 1 (the lowest quintile), the ORs and respective 95% CIs of gastric cancer for quintiles 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the PUFA intake were 0.65 (0.52-0.80), 0.51 (0.41-0.64), 0.47 (0.37-0.59), and 0.37 (0.28-0.48), respectively. A similar pattern was observed in both sexes and individuals aged <60 years and those aged 60 years or older. In summary, we found a risk reduction of gastric cancer in individuals with a higher intake of PUFA in the Vietnamese population, regardless of sex or age.

Cluster analysis was used to evaluate burden patterns across Global Burden of Disease regions. Forecasting was conducted using the age-period-cohort model and its Bayesian variant. Additionally, we evaluated risk factor contributions to the pancreatic cancer burden and used frontier analysis to explore the relationship between sociodemographic advancements and cancer rates. In 2021, pancreatic cancer accounted for 508 533 new cases, 439 001 prevalent cases, 505 752 deaths, and 11 316 963 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). High-risk groups included males and middle-aged to older adults, with high-risk areas identified in regions with higher sociodemographic index (SDI). From 1990 to 2021, both pancreatic cancer cases and age-standardized rates (ASR) increased. Notably, high fasting plasma glucose surpassed tobacco as a leading risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Frontier analysis revealed an inverse relationship between SDI and pancreatic cancer ASR, plateauing at an SDI of 0.60.

NGS analysis was conducted on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 164 resected liver samples obtained from Chinese patients. Morphologic subtypes were reviewed based on hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry staining, Correlation to the acquired molecular features were analyzed with clinicopathological information. We also retrieved follow-up information of the 123 transplanted cases from 2017 to 2019 to screen recurrence/metastasis-associated factors by univariate analysis. Generally, the most frequently mutated genes include TP53 and CTNNB1 which showed a trend of mutually exclusive mutation. Copy-number variant with the highest frequency was detected in TAF1 and CCND1 in 11q13.3 loci. Correlation analysis showed that various genetic alterations were associated with morphologic subtypes and other pathologic features. While gene signatures of proliferation/nonproliferation class were correlated with differentiation, satellite foci and other invasive morphological features. Macrotrabecular-massive subtype, TSC2 (tuberous sclerosis complex 2) mutation, Ki-67 expression, and other six factors were found to be associated with recurrence/metastasis after liver transplantation. Genetic alterations detected by NGS show correlation with not only pathological and clinical features, but also with recurrence/metastasis after liver transplantation. Further gene-level molecular typing will be practical for targeted therapy and individual recurrence risk assessment in HCC patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":11830,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Cancer Prevention","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
