  • Incidence trends in lung and bladder cancers in the Nordic Countries before and after the smoking epidemic
  • 2022
  • In: European Journal of Cancer Prevention. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. - 0959-8278 .- 1473-5709. ; 31:3, s. 228-234

    • Cigarette smoking epidemic, which started before the World War II, completely changed the cancer landscape. Reliable incidence data spanning the stepwise spreading epidemic are rare, but the Nordic cancer registries are unique sources in being able to catch the pre-epidemic situation in the female population where smoking became more prevalent after the War. For Swedish men, smoking prevalence has decease early and cancer rates may herald postsmoking rates. We used data from the NORDCAN database, constructed by the cancer registries of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, for the analysis of incidence changes in lung and bladder cancers from year 1943 (Denmark), from 1953 (Finland and Norway) and from 1960 (Sweden) until year 2016. The analyses revealed four novel observation relevant to the smoking epidemic. (1) The incidence of lung cancer in Norwegian women in the 1950s, when the smoking prevalence was very low, was 1.8/100 000 (world standard rate), which is at the level of lowest global female rates known to-date; (2) the earliest lung-to-bladder incidence ratio among Norwegian women was 0.64, probably benchmarking the incidence rates prior to the smoking epidemic; (3) bladder cancer incidence for Finnish women diagnosed in the 1950s was 1.2/100 000 which is at the level of the lowest rates currently known and (4) Swedish men with the lowest smoking prevalence in Europe, showed an epochal crossing of lung and bladder cancer incidence rates before year 2015. The data suggest that the approaching of the incidence rates for lung and bladder cancer can be expected in the course of the abating smoking epidemic.

  • High prostate cancer mortality in Norway evaluated by automated classification of medical entities.
  • 2008
  • In: European Journal of Cancer Prevention. - 0959-8278 .- 1473-5709. ; 17:4, s. 331-335
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The new standard of cause of death classification is an automated selection of the underlying cause of death using the international software Automated Classification of Medical Entities (ACME). Norwegian mortality rates are, however, based on manual classification of deaths. The aim of this study was to investigate how the use of ACME would influence Norwegian prostate cancer mortality rates. A previously described cohort of Norwegian prostate cancer patients deceased during 1996 was applied. Multiple causes of death data based on information from death certificates, autopsies and queries was coded according to ACME specifications, thereby ACME selected the underlying cause of death. In addition, the underlying cause of death that originally was manually classified for the official mortality statistics was retrieved from Statistics Norway in all cases. Age-standardized prostate cancer mortality rates (world population) per 100,000 person-years were calculated. A total of 2012 cases were included. On the basis of ACME classification, the age-standardized prostate cancer mortality rate in Norway for 1996 would have been 24.4 (95% confidence interval: 22.9-26.0) as compared with the rate based on manual classification for the official mortality statistics of 24.9 (95% confidence interval: 23.4-26.5). Thus, automated classification by ACME does not significantly influence the age-adjusted Norwegian prostate cancer mortality rate for the year 1996. There is reason to assume that the use of manual classification of deaths is not a major explanation of the high prostate cancer mortality rates in Norway.

  • Risk of kidney cancer and chronic kidney disease in relation to hepatitis C virus infection : a nationwide register-based cohort study in Sweden
  • 2011
  • In: European Journal of Cancer Prevention. - 0959-8278 .- 1473-5709. ; 20:4, s. 326-30
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an established cause of liver cancer, and recent studies have suggested a link with kidney cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk of kidney cancer in relation to HCV infection in a nationwide registry-based study of Swedish residents diagnosed with HCV between 1990 and 2006. A total of 43 000 individuals with chronic HCV infection were included, and the mean follow-up time was 9.3 years. Observed kidney cancer incidence and mortality in the cohort were compared with expected values based on the age-adjusted and sex-adjusted rates in the general population. Risk of hospitalization for other chronic kidney disease was also evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression. No association between HCV infection and risk of kidney cancer was observed [standardized incidence ratio with 1-year lag=1.2; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.8-1.7]. Risk of hospitalization for noncancer kidney disease was significantly elevated in the HCV cohort, with significantly stronger associations observed among women than among men [hazard ratio=5.8 (95% CI: 4.2-7.9) and 3.9 (95% CI: 3.2-4.8) for women and men, respectively]. Results of this study do not support the hypothesis that chronic HCV infection confers an increased risk of kidney cancer. However, we did find an association between HCV infection and chronic kidney disease, particularly among women. Given inconsistent findings in the literature, it is premature to consider HCV infection to be a risk factor for kidney cancer.

  • Prognostic importance of serum vascular endothelial growth factor in relation to platelet and leukocyte counts in human renal cell carcinoma
  • 2002
  • In: European Journal of Cancer Prevention. - 0959-8278 .- 1473-5709. ; 11:3, s. 245-252
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • It has been shown that both serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and also platelet counts are associated with survival in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It is not known, however, whether VEGF in serum relates to the angiogenic activity of the tumour or is derived from circulating blood components. Therefore, the interrelation between serum VEGF, platelet and leukocyte counts compared with health history, clinicopathological findings and outcome was evaluated in patients with RCC. Blood samples were collected before nephrectomy in 161 patients. Serum VEGF165 was assessed by a quantitative ELISA method. Platelet and leukocyte counts were analysed routinely and obtained from medical records. The variables were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis. There were significant correlations between VEGF levels, and platelet (P < 0.001) and leukocyte counts (P < 0.001). Serum VEGF levels, platelet counts, as well as leukocyte counts correlated significantly to stage and grade. Platelet counts were significantly lower in men with medication (P = 0.042), and decreased with age particularly in women (P = 0.001). Age or medication did not affect VEGF levels or leukocyte counts. Both VEGF and platelets gave significant prognostic information in univariate analysis. Using Cox multivariate analysis, VEGF was the last variable to be excluded. Only stage and grade remained as independent prognostic factors. Both VEGF levels and platelet counts gave prognostic information but VEGF was more reliable as predictor of survival in patients with RCC.
