Background: Localized prostate tumors show significant spatial heterogeneity, with regions of high-grade disease adjacent to lower grade disease. Consequently, prostate cancer biopsies are prone to sampling bias, potentially leading to underestimation of tumor grade. To study the clinical, epidemiologic, and molecular hallmarks of this phenomenon, we conducted a prospective study of grade upgrading: differences in detected prostate cancer grade between biopsy and surgery.

Methods: We established a prospective, multi-institutional cohort of men with grade group 1 (GG1) prostate cancer on biopsy who underwent radical prostatectomy. Upgrading was defined as detection of GG2+ in the resected tumor. Germline DNA from 192 subjects was subjected to whole-genome sequencing to quantify ancestry, pathogenic variants in DNA damage response genes, and polygenic risk.

Results: Of 285 men, 67% upgraded at surgery. PSA density and percent of cancer in pre-prostatectomy positive biopsy cores were significantly associated with upgrading. No assessed genetic risk factor was predictive of upgrading, including polygenic risk scores for prostate cancer diagnosis.

Conclusions: In a cohort of patients with low-grade prostate cancer, a majority upgraded at radical prostatectomy. PSA density and percent of cancer in pre-prostatectomy positive biopsy cores portended the presence of higher-grade disease, while germline genetics was not informative in this setting. Patients with low-risk prostate cancer, but elevated PSA density or percent cancer in positive biopsy cores, may benefit from repeat biopsy, additional imaging or other approaches to complement active surveillance.

Impact: Further risk stratification of patients with low-risk prostate cancer may provide useful context for active surveillance decision-making.

背景:局部前列腺肿瘤显示出明显的空间异质性,高级别疾病区域与低级别疾病区域相邻。因此,前列腺癌活检容易出现取样偏差,可能导致肿瘤分级被低估。为了研究这种现象的临床、流行病学和分子特征,我们开展了一项关于分级升级的前瞻性研究:活检与手术之间检测到的前列腺癌分级差异:我们建立了一个前瞻性的多机构队列,对象是活检发现 1 级(GG1)前列腺癌并接受根治性前列腺切除术的男性。在切除的肿瘤中发现 GG2+ 即为升级。对192名受试者的种系DNA进行了全基因组测序,以量化血统、DNA损伤反应基因中的致病变异和多基因风险:285名男性中,67%在手术时升级。PSA密度和前列腺切除术前阳性活检核心中癌症的百分比与升级有显著相关性。包括前列腺癌诊断的多基因风险评分在内,没有任何评估的遗传风险因素可预测手术升级:结论:在一组低分化前列腺癌患者中,大多数人在根治性前列腺切除术后病情有所改善。PSA密度和前列腺切除术前阳性活检核心中癌症的百分比预示着存在更高级别疾病,而种系遗传学在这种情况下并不具有参考价值。低风险前列腺癌患者,如果PSA密度或活检阳性核芯中的癌症比例升高,可能会受益于重复活检、额外的影像学检查或其他辅助积极监测的方法:影响:对低风险前列腺癌患者进行进一步的风险分层可为主动监测决策提供有用的依据。

Background: Risk factors including smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity (PA), and sleep patterns have been associated with cancer risk. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), including mosaic chromosomal alterations and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential, is linked to increased hematopoietic cancer risk and could be used as common preclinical intermediates for the better understanding of associations of risk factors with rare hematologic malignancies.

Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from 478,513 UK Biobank participants without hematologic malignancies using multivariable-adjusted analyses to assess the associations between lifestyle factors and CH types.

Results: Smoking was reinforced as a potent modifiable risk factor for multiple CH types, with dose-dependent relationships persisting after cessation. Males in socially deprived areas of England had a lower risk of mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY), females with moderate/high alcohol consumption (2-3 drinks/day) had increased mosaic loss of the X chromosome risk [OR = 1.17; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-1.25; P = 8.31 × 10-6] compared with light drinkers, active males (moderate-high PA) had elevated risks of mLOY (PA category 3: OR = 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.08; P = 7.57 × 10-6), and men with high body mass index (≥40) had reduced risk of mLOY (OR = 0.57; 95% CI, 0.51-0.65; P = 3.30 × 10-20). Sensitivity analyses with body mass index adjustment attenuated the effect in the mLOY-PA associations (IPAQ2: OR = 1.03; 95% CI, 1.00-1.06; P = 2.13 × 10-2 and IPAQ3: OR = 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06; P = 7.77 × 10-3).

Conclusions: Our study reveals associations between social deprivation, smoking, and alcohol consumption and CH risk, suggesting that these exposures could contribute to common types of CH and potentially rare hematologic cancers.

Impact: This study underscores the impact of lifestyle factors on CH frequency, emphasizing social, behavioral, and clinical influences and the importance of sociobehavioral contexts when investigating CH risk factors.

背景:吸烟、饮酒、体力活动(PA)和睡眠模式等风险因素与癌症风险有关。克隆性造血(CH),包括镶嵌染色体改变(mCAs)和不确定潜能的克隆性造血(CHIP),与造血癌症风险增加有关,可作为常见的临床前中间体,用于更好地了解风险因素与罕见血液恶性肿瘤的关联:我们使用多变量调整分析法分析了478513名未患血液系统恶性肿瘤的英国生物库参与者的横截面数据,以评估生活方式因素与CH类型之间的关联:结果发现:吸烟是导致多种类型癌症的一个强有力的可改变的风险因素,其剂量依赖关系在戒烟后仍然存在。英格兰社会贫困地区的男性发生 Y 染色体马赛克缺失(mLOY)的风险较低;与轻度/高度饮酒(每天 2-3 杯)的女性相比,发生 mLOX 的风险增加(OR=1.17,95%CI:[1.09-1.25],p=8.与轻度饮酒者相比,活跃男性(中度-高度 PA)的 mLOY 风险升高(PA 类别 3:OR=1.06,95%CI:[1.03-1.08],p=7.57×10-6),高 BMI(≥40)男性的 mLOY 风险降低(OR=0.57,95%CI:[0.51-0.65],p=3.30×10-20)。调整体重指数的敏感性分析削弱了 mLOY-PA 关联的影响(IPAQ2:OR=1.03,95%CI:[1.00-1.06],p=2.13×10-2;IPAQ3:OR=1.03,95%CI:[1.01-1.06],p=7.77×10-3):我们的研究揭示了社会贫困、吸烟、饮酒与CH风险之间的关联,表明这些暴露可能导致常见类型的CH和潜在的罕见血液癌症:本研究强调了生活方式因素对CH发病率的影响,强调了社会、行为和临床影响,以及在调查CH风险因素时社会行为背景的重要性。

Background: Benzene exposure has been associated with increased risk of leukemia and other cancers; however, epidemiologic evidence is inconsistent for the latter, and confounding from smoking and alcohol was rarely adjusted.

Methods: We investigated associations between occupational benzene exposure and risk of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and lung, stomach, liver, and kidney cancers in a population-based cohort of 61,377 men, ages 40 to 74 years. A job-exposure matrix, constructed by industrial hygienists specifically for the study population, was used to derive cumulative benzene exposure from all jobs held. Cox regressions were performed to estimate adjusted HRs (aHR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for benzene-cancer risk associations with adjustment for potential confounders.

Results: Over 15 years of follow-up, 1,145 lung cancer, 656 stomach cancer, 445 liver cancer, 243 kidney cancer, 100 leukemia, 124 lymphoma, and 46 myeloma cases were identified. Benzene exposure >550 mg/m3 was associated with an increased risk of leukemia (aHR = 2.3; 95% CI, 1.1-4.5), lung cancer (aHR = 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.6), and stomach cancer (aHR = 1.4; 95% CI, 1.0-1.9); benzene exposure was associated with early cancer diagnosis age. The benzene-leukemia and benzene-stomach cancer associations followed a linear dose-response pattern (Plinear = 0.016 and 0.023), whereas the benzene-lung cancer association was evident at higher exposure levels (Pnonlinear = 0.027). Alcohol consumption modified the benzene-leukemia association (aHR = 3.0; 95% CI, 1.1-8.3 for drinkers and aHR = 0.9; 95% CI, 0.4-2.0 for nondrinkers, Pinteraction = 0.047).

Conclusions: Benzene exposure was associated with an increased risk of leukemia, stomach cancer, and lung cancer. Alcohol consumption may modify the benzene-leukemia association, although estimates are imprecise.

Impact: Our study provides additional evidence that benzene exposure increases cancer risk beyond leukemia, information important for policymakers to develop programs to mitigate cancer risk among benzene-exposed workers.

背景:苯暴露与白血病和其他癌症风险的增加有关;然而,关于后者的流行病学证据并不一致,而且很少对吸烟和饮酒造成的混杂因素进行调整:方法:我们在一个由 61,377 名 40-74 岁男性组成的人群队列中调查了职业苯暴露与白血病、淋巴瘤、骨髓瘤、肺癌、胃癌、肝癌和肾癌风险的相关性。工业卫生学家专门为研究人群构建了一个工作-接触矩阵,用于推算所有工作中累积的苯接触量。在对潜在混杂因素进行调整后,通过 Cox 回归估算出苯与癌症风险关联的调整后危险比 (aHR) 和 95% 置信区间 (CI):在 15 年的随访中,共发现 1,145 例肺癌、656 例胃癌、445 例肝癌、243 例肾癌、100 例白血病、124 例淋巴瘤和 46 例骨髓瘤病例。苯暴露量大于 550 毫克/立方米与白血病(aHR=2.3,95%CI=1.1-4.5)、肺癌(aHR=1.2,95%CI=1.0-1.6)和胃癌(aHR=1.4,95%CI=1.0-1.9)风险增加有关;苯暴露与癌症诊断年龄提前有关。苯与白血病和胃癌的关系呈线性剂量反应模式(Plinear=0.016 和 0.023),而苯与肺癌的关系在暴露水平较高时明显(Pnon-linear=0.027)。饮酒改变了苯与白血病的关系(饮酒者的 HR=3.0,95%CI=1.1-8.3;不饮酒者的 aHR=0.9,95%CI=0.4-2.0,Pinteraction=0.047):结论:苯暴露与白血病、胃癌和肺癌风险的增加有关。饮酒可能会改变苯与白血病的关系,但估计值并不精确:我们的研究提供了更多证据,证明苯暴露会增加白血病以外的癌症风险,这些信息对于政策制定者制定减轻苯暴露工人癌症风险的计划非常重要。

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) cancer survivors disproportionately experience physical and mental health comorbidities compared with their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. A recent study by Waters and colleagues evaluates associations between LGBTQ+ identity and physical and mental health comorbidities and activity limitations using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. Consistent with previous work, their findings suggest that LGBTQ+ survivors have higher odds of several chronic conditions, including asthma, depressive disorders, heart attacks, kidney disease, stroke, and diabetes, as well as reporting disabilities related to vision and cognition and difficulty with activities of daily living, including walking, dressing, and running errands. Waters and colleagues expand on previous work by providing estimates separately for sexual orientation and gender identity. Their results for lesbian, gay, and bisexual survivors were similar to those for LGBTQ+ survivors overall. In novel findings, they report much stronger associations between identifying as transgender or gender nonconforming and nearly all comorbidities compared with cisgender survivors, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. This commentary advocates for the importance of future work considering the drivers of disparities in cancer outcomes based on sexual orientation and gender identity. See related article by Waters et al., p. 1405.

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和同性恋者(LGBTQ+)癌症幸存者与异性恋和同性别的癌症幸存者相比,在身体和精神健康方面的合并症特别多。沃特斯及其同事最近的一项研究利用行为风险因素监测系统数据评估了 LGBTQ+ 身份与身心健康合并症和活动限制之间的关联。与之前的工作一致,他们的研究结果表明 LGBTQ+ 幸存者罹患几种慢性疾病的几率更高,包括哮喘、抑郁症、心脏病、肾病、中风和糖尿病,以及报告与视力和认知有关的残疾和日常生活活动困难,包括行走、穿衣和跑腿。沃特斯及其同事在之前工作的基础上,分别提供了性取向和性别认同的估计值。他们对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋幸存者的研究结果与 LGBTQ+ 幸存者的总体研究结果相似。在新的研究结果中,他们报告称,与双性恋幸存者(包括女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋幸存者)相比,变性人或性别不符者与几乎所有合并症之间的关联要强得多。这篇评论强调了未来工作的重要性,即考虑基于性取向和性别认同的癌症结果差异的驱动因素。参见 Waters 等人的相关文章,第 1405 页。

Background: We investigated clinical characteristics and prostate cancer survival patterns among Latino patients considering nativity compared with non-Latino Black (NLB) and non-Latino White (NLW) patients.

Methods: We used data from the California Cancer Registry (1995-2021), which included 347,540 NLW, 50,032 NLB, and 75,238 Latino patients with prostate cancer. Frequencies of sociodemographic and clinical variables were assessed using χ2 tests. Multivariable regression models were fitted to evaluate determinants of treatment reception, Gleason upgrade, and survival differences. Exploratory analyses were conducted grouping Latino cases into US born and non-US born by country of origin.

Results: Compared with NLW, NLB cases had the greatest proportion of younger patients, whereas non-US-born Latino patients had the greatest proportion of low socioeconomic status and uninsured patients. Non-US-born Latinos showed a greater proportion of diagnoses completed with <6 core biopsies, Gleason >8, stage IV tumors, and metastasis. Multivariable analyses showed that compared with NLW, Latino patients were as likely to receive treatment, whereas NLB cases were less likely (OR = 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-0.98; P = 0.029). Compared with NLW, non-US-born Latino cases were less likely to die of prostate cancer (HR = 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.64-0.94; P = 0.011), with no difference reported for NLB cases.

Conclusions: Considering sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, non-US-born Latino patients with prostate cancer had better survival than NLW. This highlights the need to identify key determinants of these survival differences and the importance of sociodemographic and clinical determinants in survival disparities.

Impact: Our study emphasizes the importance of considering nativity among Latino patients to understand prostate cancer disparities and outcomes in this population.

背景:我们对拉丁裔患者的临床特征和前列腺癌(PCa)生存模式进行了调查,并将其与非拉丁裔黑人(NLB)和非拉丁裔白人(NLW)患者进行了比较:我们使用了加州癌症登记处(1995-2021 年)的数据,其中包括 347,540 名非拉丁裔黑人、50,032 名非拉丁裔白人和 75,238 名拉丁裔 PCa 患者。社会人口学和临床变量的频率通过Chi-square检验进行评估。多变量回归模型用于评估治疗接受度、Gleason 升级和生存率差异的决定因素。根据原籍国将拉丁裔病例分为美国出生和非美国出生两组,并进行了探索性分析:与北大西洋公约组织相比,北大西洋公约组织病例中年轻患者的比例最高,而非美国出生的拉丁裔患者中社会经济地位低和无保险的患者比例最高。非美国出生的拉美裔患者中,诊断为8期、IV期肿瘤和转移瘤的比例更高。多变量分析表明,与北大西洋公约组织相比,拉丁裔患者接受治疗的可能性相同,而北大西洋公约组织病例接受治疗的可能性较低(OR = 0.81,95% CI:0.67-0.98,p = 0.029)。与北大西洋公约组织相比,非美国出生的拉丁裔病例死于 PCa 的可能性较低(HR = 0.78;95% CI = 0.64-0.94,p=0.011),而北大西洋公约组织病例则无差异:考虑到社会人口学和临床特征,非美国出生的拉丁裔 PCa 患者的生存率高于非拉丁裔。这凸显了确定这些生存率差异关键决定因素的必要性,以及社会人口学和临床决定因素在生存率差异中的重要性:影响:我们的研究强调了考虑拉丁裔患者的原籍对了解该人群的 PCa 差异和预后的重要性。

Background: We evaluated the association between metabolic syndrome (obesity plus two metabolic risk factors) and breast cancer outcomes according to molecular subtype.

Methods: This population-based prospective cohort consisted of 3,267 women aged 20-69 diagnosed with a first primary invasive breast cancer from 2004-2015 in the Seattle-Puget Sound region. Breast cancer was categorized into three subtypes based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression: luminal (ER+), triple-negative (ER-/PR-/HER2-), and HER2-overexpressing (H2E) (ER-/HER2+). We used time-varying Cox models to assess the association between prevalent and incident metabolic syndrome and risks of recurrence, breast cancer-specific mortality, and all-cause mortality.

Results: Metabolic syndrome was associated with a greater risk of recurrence (HR:3.24; 95% CI:1.13-9.33) and breast cancer-specific mortality (HR:5.34; 95% CI:2.32-12.31) only for the H2E subtype, and greater risks of all-cause mortality for luminal (HR:1.92; 95% CI:1.37-2.68), H2E (HR:5.09; 95% CI:2.51-10.32), and all cases combined (HR:1.90; 95% CI:1.42,2.53). We also observed heterogeneity in recurrence and mortality outcomes across specific components of metabolic syndrome and molecular subtypes.

Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome is associated with all-cause mortality among women with breast cancer and with breast cancer-specific mortality among women with the H2E subtype.

Impact: These results highlight the importance of managing comorbidities to decrease the risk for adverse outcomes among breast cancer survivors.

背景我们根据分子亚型评估了代谢综合征(肥胖加上两个代谢风险因素)与乳腺癌预后之间的关系:这个基于人群的前瞻性队列包括西雅图-普吉特海湾地区 2004-2015 年间确诊为初次原发性浸润性乳腺癌的 3267 名 20-69 岁女性。根据雌激素受体(ER)、孕激素受体(PR)和人表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)的表达情况,乳腺癌被分为三个亚型:管腔型(ER+)、三阴型(ER-/PR-/HER2-)和 HER2-高表达型(H2E)(ER-/HER2+)。我们使用时变 Cox 模型评估了代谢综合征的发病率与复发风险、乳腺癌特异性死亡率和全因死亡率之间的关系:结果:代谢综合征与更高的复发风险(HR:3.24; 95% CI:1.13-9.33)和乳腺癌特异性死亡率(HR:5.34; 95% CI:2.32-12.31)相关。仅 H2E 亚型的死亡率(HR:3.24;95% CI:1.13-9.33)和乳腺癌特异性死亡率(HR:5.34;95% CI:2.32-12.31)较高,而腔隙型(HR:1.92;95% CI:1.37-2.68)、H2E(HR:5.09;95% CI:2.51-10.32)和所有病例合并的死亡率(HR:1.90;95% CI:1.42,2.53)较高。我们还观察到代谢综合征特定成分和分子亚型在复发和死亡结果方面的异质性:代谢综合征与乳腺癌女性患者的全因死亡率有关,与H2E亚型女性患者的乳腺癌特异性死亡率有关:这些结果凸显了控制合并症以降低乳腺癌幸存者不良后果风险的重要性。

Background: Modifying dietary behaviors into healthier habits may attenuate the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary changes and the risk of CRC.

Methods: Following dietary recommendations for red and processed meat, fruit and vegetables, and alcohol consumption, we classified 50,640 participants into poor and good adherence groups in the UK Biobank. Changes in dietary habits were defined as stable poor, poor to good, good to poor, and stable to good adherence. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the association between dietary changes and CRC risk.

Results: Women were more likely to follow dietary recommendations than men. After a median of 3.3 years from the latest follow-up, 8,328 (16.4%) participants followed an improved dietary habit and 5,808 (11.5%) participants had a worsened diet. Compared to men who stably consumed fruit and vegetables <5 servings/day, those who increased their consumption to ≥5 servings/day were related to CRC risk reduction (hazard ratio: 0.24, [0.09-0.63]). However, the beneficial associations of increased fruit and vegetable consumption were not statistically significant in women (hazard ratio: 0.41, [0.11-1.56]).

Conclusions: Our findings support the evidence that increasing fruit and vegetable intake could serve as a beneficial strategy to mitigate CRC risk in men.

Impact: Participants from the UK Biobank significantly changes their adherence to dietary recommendations during the follow-up. Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption was inversely associated with CRC risk among men.

背景:将饮食行为转变为更健康的习惯可能会降低结直肠癌(CRC)风险。本研究旨在调查饮食变化与 CRC 风险之间的关系:根据有关红肉、加工肉类、水果和蔬菜以及饮酒的饮食建议,我们将英国生物库中的 50,640 名参与者分为膳食习惯不良组和膳食习惯良好组。饮食习惯的变化被定义为稳定的不良、从不良到良好、从良好到不良以及从稳定到良好。结果显示,女性更有可能遵循饮食习惯:结果:女性比男性更有可能遵循饮食建议。在最近一次随访的中位数为 3.3 年后,8328 名参与者(16.4%)的饮食习惯有所改善,5808 名参与者(11.5%)的饮食习惯有所恶化。与稳定摄入水果和蔬菜的男性相比 结论:我们的研究结果支持了增加水果和蔬菜摄入量的证据:我们的研究结果支持增加水果和蔬菜摄入量可作为降低男性 CRC 风险的有益策略的证据:英国生物库的参与者在随访期间明显改变了对饮食建议的遵守情况。增加水果和蔬菜的摄入量与男性患 CRC 的风险成反比。

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated shutdowns disrupted healthcare access and resulted in decreased cancer screenings. Cancer diagnosis delays have concerning downstream effects on late-stage cancer, especially for marginalized populations.

Methods: The study population included 349,458 adults in the California Cancer Registry diagnosed with cancer between January 2019-December 2021, during which California experienced two stay-at-home orders. We examined the percentage of late-stage (III-IV) cancer diagnoses across five periods: Pre-Pandemic (January 2019-February 2020), Shutdown #1 (March-June 2020), Post-Shutdown #1 (July-November 2020), Post-Shutdown #2 (December 2020-March 2021), and Post-Vaccine Rollout (April-December 2021). To examine the association between time-period and late-stage diagnoses, we conducted a multivariable log binomial regression model adjusted for sociodemographic and neighborhood factors.

Results: The percentage of late-stage cancer diagnoses increased during Shutdown #1 (+5.2%) and returned to baseline Post-Vaccine Rollout. Groups with notably higher increases in the percentage of late-stage cancer (vs. overall population) during Shutdown #1 include: Pacific Islander (+13.7%), Thai (+11.2%), Chinese (+8.1%), Native Hawaiian (+7.4%), Filipino (+6.6%), and uninsured (+7.4%). Uninsured (vs. private insurance) (PR: 1.41), low neighborhood SES (nSES) (vs. high) (PR: 1.19), and racial and ethnic minoritized groups (vs. NH White) (PR's: 1.04-1.19) had higher likelihood for late-stage cancer diagnosis.

Conclusions: The pandemic exacerbated late-stage cancer disparities for racial and ethnic minoritized groups, underinsured, and low nSES communities in California (2020-2021).

Impact: Interventions to improve cancer screening must be focused on racial and ethnic minoritized, underinsured, and low nSES communities, as they are likely to be more vulnerable to healthcare disruptions like the pandemic.

背景:COVID-19 大流行和相关的停工扰乱了医疗保健服务,导致癌症筛查减少。癌症诊断延误会对晚期癌症产生令人担忧的下游影响,尤其是对边缘化人群:研究对象包括加利福尼亚癌症登记处在 2019 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间确诊患有癌症的 349,458 名成年人,在此期间,加利福尼亚经历了两次停摆。我们研究了五个时期的晚期(III-IV 期)癌症诊断比例:大流行前(2019 年 1 月至 2020 年 2 月)、1 号停工令(2020 年 3 月至 6 月)、1 号停工令后(2020 年 7 月至 11 月)、2 号停工令后(2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 3 月)和疫苗推广后(2021 年 4 月至 12 月)。为了研究时间段与晚期诊断之间的关系,我们建立了一个多变量对数二项式回归模型,并对社会人口和邻里因素进行了调整:结果:晚期癌症诊断比例在 1 号停产期间有所上升(+5.2%),在疫苗推广后恢复到基线水平。在 1 号关机期间,晚期癌症比例(与总人口相比)明显增加的群体包括太平洋岛民(+13.7%)、泰国人(+11.2%)、中国人(+8.1%)、夏威夷原住民(+7.4%)、菲律宾人(+6.6%)和无保险者(+7.4%)。无保险(与私人保险相比)(PR:1.41)、低社区社会经济地位(nSES)(与高社区社会经济地位相比)(PR:1.19)以及少数种族和族裔群体(与新罕布什尔州白人相比)(PR:1.04-1.19)被诊断为癌症晚期的可能性更高:结论:大流行加剧了加利福尼亚州(2020-2021 年)少数种族和族裔群体、保险不足以及社会经济地位低的社区的晚期癌症差异:影响:改善癌症筛查的干预措施必须重点关注少数种族和族裔、保险不足以及社会经济地位低下的群体,因为他们可能更容易受到大流行病等医疗保健干扰的影响。

Background: Despite the promise of mail-based human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection programs for increasing cervical cancer screening, few have been evaluated in the United States. We report the results of a mail-based HPV self-collection program for underscreened women living in Appalachia.

Methods: We conducted a group randomized trial during 2021-2022 in the Appalachian regions of Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virgnia. Participants were women ages 30-64 who were underscreened for cervical cancer and from a participating health system. Participants in the intervention group (n=464) were mailed an HPV self-collection kit followed by telephone-based patient navigation (if needed), and participants in the usual care group (n=338) were mailed a reminder letter to get a clinic-based cervical cancer screening test. Generalized linear mixed models compared cervical cancer screening between study groups.

Results: Overall, 14.9% of participants in the intervention group and 5.0% of participants in the usual care group were screened for cervical cancer. The mail-based HPV self-collection intervention increased cervical cancer screening compared to the usual care group (OR=3.30, 95% CI: 1.90-5.72, p=0.005). One or more high-risk HPV types were detected in 10.5% of the returned HPV self-collection kits. Among participants in the intervention group who patient navigators attempted to contact, 44.2% were successfully reached.

Conclusions: HPV self-collection increased cervical cancer screening, and future efforts are needed to determine how to optimize such programs, including the delivery of patient navigation services.

Impact: Mail-based HPV self-collection programs are a viable strategy for increasing cervical cancer screening among underscreened women living in Appalachia.

背景:尽管邮寄人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)自采项目有望提高宫颈癌筛查率,但在美国进行评估的项目很少。我们报告了针对生活在阿巴拉契亚地区筛查不足的妇女开展的基于邮件的 HPV 自我收集计划的结果:方法:2021-2022 年期间,我们在肯塔基州、俄亥俄州、弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州的阿巴拉契亚地区开展了一项团体随机试验。参与者为 30-64 岁、宫颈癌筛查不足的女性,来自参与试验的医疗系统。干预组的参与者(人数=464)会被邮寄HPV自取试剂盒,随后(如有需要)还会接受电话患者指导;常规护理组的参与者(人数=338)会被邮寄一封提醒信,提醒她们接受诊所提供的宫颈癌筛查测试。广义线性混合模型比较了各研究组的宫颈癌筛查情况:总体而言,干预组中有 14.9% 的参与者接受了宫颈癌筛查,常规护理组中有 5.0% 的参与者接受了宫颈癌筛查。与常规护理组相比,邮寄 HPV 自我收集干预措施提高了宫颈癌筛查率(OR=3.30,95% CI:1.90-5.72,p=0.005)。在 10.5%退回的 HPV 自采试剂盒中检测到一种或多种高危 HPV 类型。在患者导航员尝试联系的干预组参与者中,44.2%的人成功联系上了患者导航员:结论:HPV自采提高了宫颈癌筛查率,今后需要努力确定如何优化此类项目,包括提供患者指导服务:影响:基于邮件的 HPV 自我收集计划是提高阿巴拉契亚地区筛查不足妇女宫颈癌筛查率的可行策略。

Background: Ferritin, an iron storage protein and acute phase reactant, has been implicated in various aspects of human health and disease, including cancer. Previous studies have identified elevated serum ferritin (SF) levels in several cancer types, but a comprehensive examination across different malignancies remains lacking. This study aims to fill this gap by utilizing anonymized data from Maccabi Health Services (MHS), one of Israel's largest health organizations, to explore the association between elevated SF levels and the diagnosis of different malignancies.

Methods: An extensive dataset from MHS, comprising 2.7 million members, including 1.3 million individuals who underwent SF level testing, was analyzed. Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the association between high SF levels and cancer diagnosis. Subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate variations across different malignancies.

Results: The analysis revealed a significant association between elevated SF levels and cancer diagnosis among MHS members, with an OR of 1.9 (95% CI 1.71-2.15). Sub- group analysis unveiled differences in the association across malignancy types, with hematological, hepatobiliary and respiratory malignancies more strongly associated with high SF levels.

Conclusions: This study provides further support for the link between elevated SF levels and malignancy, leveraging a vast dataset from MHS, underscoring potential utilities of elevated SF levels as a potential indicator for cancer with a variable role among different malignancy types.

Impact: The identification of elevated SF levels as a potential indicator for underlying malignancy for seemingly-healthy individuals.

背景:铁蛋白是一种铁储存蛋白和急性时相反应物,与人类健康和疾病(包括癌症)的各个方面都有关系。以前的研究已发现几种癌症类型的血清铁蛋白(SF)水平升高,但仍缺乏对不同恶性肿瘤的全面检查。本研究旨在利用以色列最大的医疗机构之一马卡比医疗服务公司(Maccabi Health Services,MHS)的匿名数据填补这一空白,探讨 SF 水平升高与不同恶性肿瘤诊断之间的关联:方法:分析了马卡比医疗服务的大量数据集,这些数据集包括 270 万名会员,其中 130 万人接受了 SF 水平检测。计算了几率比(OR)和95%置信区间(CI),以评估高SF水平与癌症诊断之间的关联。还进行了分组分析,以研究不同恶性肿瘤之间的差异:分析结果显示,在MHS成员中,SF水平升高与癌症诊断之间存在明显的关联,OR值为1.9(95% CI为1.71-2.15)。分组分析揭示了不同恶性肿瘤类型之间的关联差异,血液、肝胆和呼吸系统恶性肿瘤与 SF 水平高的关联度更高:这项研究进一步证实了 SF 水平升高与恶性肿瘤之间的联系,利用了来自 MHS 的大量数据集,强调了 SF 水平升高作为癌症潜在指标的潜在作用,在不同恶性肿瘤类型中的作用各不相同:对于看似健康的人来说,将 SF 水平升高确定为潜在恶性肿瘤的潜在指标。
