AbstractDespite cancer being a leading cause of death worldwide, scant research has been carried out on the existence of “cancer transitions,” the idea that as nations develop, they move from a situation where infectious related cancers are prominent, to one where non-infectious related cancers dominate. We use annual cause-of-death data to produce death rates for common types of cancer in select high-income countries. We find that cancer mortality patterns parallel the epidemiologic transition, which states that as countries advance, they move from a regime where infectious diseases are most common to one where non-infectious disease are most common. An implication is that the epidemiologic transition theory as originally formulated continues to be relevant despite some researchers arguing that we need additional stages beyond the original three.

Cancer Of The Lung

Cancer, responsible for about 1 death in 5 in Scotland, cost over £1 per head of population in 1965 and led to bed occupation of almost 2,000 bed years. Time lag (symptoms-doctor-hospital-treatment) is usuallv small. Age distribution is as in other European countries. Excluding accidents, cancer is the second most important cause of death in children. In relation to other countries Scotland's position is very poor and the lung cancer mortality in both sexes is the highest known. Lung cancer is the most important in males, breast cancer in females. Alimentary cancers come second in both sexes. In this century alimentary cancers increased till the thirties or forties and then declined. Cancers of pancreas, cervix uteri, ovary, prostate, kidney and bladder, together with leukaemia, have all increased. Cancer of the lung has increased elevenfold in women and fiftyfold in men. It now accounts for 9 to 12 per cent of all male deaths in cities and large towns

Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, causing over 17 million deaths per year, which outpaces global cancer mortality rates. Despite these sobering statistics, most bioinformatics and computational biology research and funding to date has been concentrated predominantly on cancer research, with a relatively modest footprint in CVD. In this paper, we review the existing literary landscape and critically assess the unmet need to further develop an emerging field at the multidisciplinary interface of bioinformatics and precision cardiovascular medicine, which we refer to as ‘cardioinformatics’.

The Real

Trends in age-standardized cancer mortality for Swedish men and women, between 1931 and 1992, were studied using official cause of death statistics. Overall, age-standardized cancer mortality increased by about 16 percent among men and decreased by about six percent among women during the period studied. Among both men and women older than 70 years, age-standardized cancer mortality increased. In all other age groups decreases occurred. During the period studied, a number of changes have occurred that affect cause of death registration, for example, changes in classification routines and improved diagnosis. The exact magnitude of these effects on the observed trends is difficult to estimate, but it seems clear that a bias towards increasing age-standardized cancer mortality has been introduced. Furthermore, this bias may be substantial, thus obscuring the real trends in age- standardized cancer mortality.

Introduction: The diagnosis of cause of death is based on the sequence of diagnoses declared by the physician who completes the death certificate that is processed by Central Statistical Office in Hungary. The validity control of the data requires the active involvement of the public health authority. Aim: The authors analyzed the death certificates from Tolna county in order to elaborate and evaluate methods for cause of death data validity control. Method: Diagnoses of cause of death declared by the physician, corrected by the social statistical review in the Central Statistical Office, and revised by public health authority were compared to evaluate the quality of cause of death data. Results: It was found that 5–10% of the cause of death diagnoses declared by physicians required some modification, resulting more than 1% change in county specific mortality statistics of the main International Classification of Diseases groups. Physicians who reported inaccurate cause of death data were identified. 10 indicators were defined to monitor the process elaborated in the project. Conclusions: Co-operation between the Central Statistical Office and public health authorities to improve the quality of cause of death data should be continued because evaluation of public health interventions needs more and more reliable and detailed cause of death statistics.
