We used flexible parametric survival models adjusting for age and year of PBC diagnosis, ethnicity, PBC tumour stage, comorbidity, and PBC treatments to model the cause-specific hazards of SPC incidence and death according to income deprivation, and then estimated standardised cumulative incidences of SPC by deprivation, taking death as the competing event. Multiple imputation was performed to account for missing data. Among 649,905 included women, 47,399 SPCs and 171,223 deaths occurred during 4,269,042 person-years of follow-up.

Metastasis-potential and treatment-resistance is thought to rely on increased plasticity of the cancer cells-a mechanism whereby cancer cells alter their identity to adapt to changing environments or therapeutic pressures to create cellular heterogeneity. To understand the molecular basis of this plasticity, genomic studies have uncovered genetic variants to capture clonal heterogeneity of primary tumors and metastases. As cellular plasticity is largely driven by non-genetic events, complementary studies in cancer epigenomics are now being conducted to identify chromatin variants. These variants, defined as genomic loci in cancer cells that show changes in chromatin state due to the loss or gain of epigenomic marks, inclusive of histone post-translational modifications, DNA methylation and histone variants, are considered the fundamental units of epigenomic heterogeneity. In prostate cancer chromatin variants hold the promise of guiding the new era of precision oncology. In this review, we explore the role of epigenomic heterogeneity in prostate cancer, focusing on how chromatin variants contribute to tumor evolution and therapy resistance. We therefore discuss their impact on cellular plasticity and stochastic events, highlighting the value of single-cell sequencing and liquid biopsy epigenomic assays to uncover new therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

The data from 487 cancer registries across China in 2016 were analyzed using a Bayesian spatial regression model with the integrated nested Laplace approximation-stochastic partial differential equation method. The study estimated cervical cancer incidence among household-registered populations and adjusted for migrant populations using a weighting method based on interprovincial distribution and age stratification to derive the incidence of cervical cancer in the permanent residents.

To delve into the biological characteristics of TDs, we performed transcriptome sequencing, immunohistochemistry, and Kaplan–Meier analyses on tissue samples from the additional CRC cohort and The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets. TDs exhibited aggressive biological phenotypes that were distinct from primary tumors and metastatic LNs, characterized by elevated signatures of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and immune suppression.
