Abstract

Cancer is a common disease that places a large burden on health-care systems. Although the rise of incident cancer cases over recent decades in Germany can largely be explained by demographic ageing, other factors also affect these numbers. The aim of this work was to calculate the incidence of colorectal and lung cancers, two of the most common cancer sites, for the year 2020 under different scenarios. The calculations were based on national incidence estimates by the Centre for Cancer Registry Data at the Robert Koch Institute. Two scenarios were calculated for each of the two cancer sites and by gender. The "status quo" scenario accounts only for demographic ageing, assuming constant age-specific incidence rates. The second scenario additionally assumes that trends in incidence rates observed from 2000 to 2009 continue up to the year 2020. The "status quo" scenarios showed an increase in incident cancer cases of between 12 and 24%, depending on gender and cancer site. The "continuing trends" scenarios resulted in smaller increases for colorectal cancer (+3 to + 17%), while the results for lung cancer differed widely between women (+ 64%) and men (+ 2%). In general, large increases are expected for the highest age groups and ...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.
