Systematic underreporting of the population-based incidence of pancreatic and biliary tract cancers

Abstract

Incidence rates of cancers of the pancreas and biliary tract, typically derived from cancer registers, have been reported to be decreasing. This study tested whether pancreatic and biliary tract cancers are underreported in the Swedish Cancer Register (CR). The concordance of pancreatic and biliary tract cancer diagnoses in 1990-2009 between CR and the Swedish Patient Register (PR) were evaluated through record linkage. To further assess the completeness of these cancer diagnoses in both CR and PR, record linkage was also made to the Swedish Causes of Death Register (DR). A total of 31 067 cases of pancreatic cancer and 14 273 cases of biliary tract cancer were identified in CR or PR. Altogether, 44% of the pancreatic cancers and 44% of the biliary tract cancers were registered in PR only, and not in CR. The concordance between CR and PR declined from 63% in the years 1990-1994 to 44% in 2005-2009 for pancreatic cancer. The corresponding figures for biliary tract cancer were 60% and 37%. This decline in concordance was also observed with increasing age, e.g. the concordance between CR and PR for pancreatic cancer declined from 62% in patients<60 years to 36% among patients≥80 years. The corresponding figures for biliary tract c...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
