Stat Bite Annual Anal Cancer Incidence Rates Among HIV-Infected Individuals in the U.S.

601 Background: Anal cancer comprises only 2.5% of all digestive system malignancies in the United States; only 8200 new cases are diagnosed annually, nevertheless, an increasing incidence rate has been noted. The goal of this study is to describe the incidence rates of anal cancer in New Mexico. New Mexico is a unique, mainly rural state, with unique demographics consisting of a large mix of patients being primarily Non-Hispanic White, Hispanics or Native Americans. Methods: All incident cases of anal cancer diagnosed among New Mexico residents during the twenty-year period 1995-2014 were identified from the population-based New Mexico Tumor Registry. Average annual age-adjusted incidence rates (US 2000 standard) were calculated by the direct method for non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics and American Indians. Incidence rates for non-Hispanic whites in nine core areas of the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program served as the comparison. Results: A total of 556 anal cancers were diagnosed among New Mexico residents during the study period, an average of approximate 28 cancers annually. Anal cancer incidence rates per 100,000 were highest for non-Hispanic whites (1.80, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.62-1.98) in New Mexico, which were similar to rates for non-Hispanic whites (1.70, 95% CI 1.66-1.74) in nine core areas of the SEER Program. Statistically significant lower rates were observed in New Mexico Hispanics (0.92, 95% CI 0.76-1.11) and American Indians (0.75, 95% CI 0.45-1.16). Females had higher rates than males in each of these three racial/ethnic groups. Incidence rates increased from 1995-2004 to 2005-2014 for all race/ethnic groups, with the largest increase observed in Hispanic females. Conclusions: Anal cancer incidence rates vary by race/ethnicity and sex in New Mexico. Further research is needed to characterize time trends in incidence and to identify factors that may account for observed differences in incidence rates by race/ethnicity and sex in New Mexico.

29 Background: Gastric and esophageal cancers are the fourth and eighth most common cancers worldwide, with an estimated 1.5 million new cases combined in 2008. A comprehensive, international comparison of the descriptive epidemiology of these diseases is lacking. The objectives of this study are to (1) characterize the current and projected incidence rates and the current case fatality of these cancer types by age and gender within countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, and Africa; (2) describe the temporal variation in cardia and non-cardia gastric cancer and squamous and adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer in the U.S. by age and gender. Methods: Data from GLOBOCAN were used to calculate country-specific incidence rates (per 100,000) for 2012, 2015, and 2025, and the country-specific case fatality (%) in 2012. Data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program in the U.S. were used to estimate gastric cancer incidence rates from 2004-2011 (per 100,000) and 12-month survival (%) stratified by gender, age (0-64/65+), stage at diagnosis, gastric cancer subtype, and esophageal cancer histology. Joinpoint regression was used to quantify changes in the Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) in these outcomes. Results: GLOBOCAN results showed wide geographic variation in gastric and esophageal cancer incidence rates. In most countries, the case-fatality among males and females 65+ years was > 60%. In the U.S., the annual incidence of all gastric cancer subtypes decreased significantly among males and females 65+ (AAPC= -2.4% & -1.6%, respectively). Esophageal cancer incidence decreased in both genders and age groups, with a significant decline observed among females 65+ with squamous histology (-3.5%). Twelve-month survival in esophageal cancer showed modest improvements, with a significant increase observed among males 65+ with adenocarcinoma histology (2.0%). Conclusions: The worldwide burden of gastric and esophageal cancers is substantial. In the U.S., declines in incidence and modest improvements in survival of these cancers were observed.

Cancer Incidence Rates

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between pancreatic cancer incidence and selected dietary factors, alcohol consumption, and tobacco smoking in Poland in 1960–2008. Data on pancreatic cancer morbidity were derived from the National Cancer Registry and on food consumption from the national food balance sheets. In 1960–1989 correlations were found between pancreatic cancer incidence rates and energy (0.60 for males and 0.57 for females), cholesterol (0.87 and 0.80), fibre (−0.84 and −0.89) and folate (−0.45 and −0.49) intake, the consumption of total fats (0.94 and 0.91), animal fats (0,90 and 0,82), sugar (0.88 and 0.87), cereals (−0.93 and −0.91), and alcohol (0.86 and 0.82). In 1990–2008 morbidity correlated with the consumption of red meat (0.67 and 0.48), poultry (−0.88 and −0.57), and fruit (−0.62 and −0.50). Correlation with tobacco smoking was observed in the whole studied period (0.55 and 0.44). Increased incidence of pancreatic cancer in 1960–1995 was probably related to adverse dietary patterns up to 1989, especially high consumption of fats, sugar, and alcohol. Further positive changes in the diet such as lowering red meat consumption and increasing fruit consumption could influence incidence reduction in recent years. Also changes in tobacco smoking could affect the morbidity.
