Epidemiological Profile of Cancer in the Pijao Indigenous Population in Colombia: A 20-Year Analysis
To characterize the epidemiological profile of cancer in the Pijao indigenous population enrolled in an Indigenous Health Provider (EPSI, according to the spanish abbreviation) between 2002 and 2022.
Prostate cancer is the leading cancer among men in the Caribbean, yet early detection is limited by underrepresentation in genomic research and the invasive nature of standard screening methods, which many men avoid. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of a commercial polygenic risk score (PRS) for stratifying prostate cancer risk in a predominantly African ancestry population from Bermuda
Several chronic inflammatory and infectious conditions have been linked to an increased risk of various cancers. While the association between head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) and HPV infection is well established, it remains unclear whether similar associations exist with other medical conditions. We aimed to investigate the association between personal medical history and head and neck cancer (HNC) in the French West Indies (FWI).
High cancer mortality in small island developing states (SIDS) is compounded by the insufficient evidence from local epidemiological studies. Stakeholder engagement is particularly important in SIDS to ultimately drive these studies and cancer control. We aimed to map cancer control stakeholders as part of the development of the CaSIDEC study.
