Article Abstract
Objectives: to analyze the completeness of variables from Hospital-Based Cancer Registries of cases of prostate neoplasm in the Oncology Care Network of a Brazilian state between 2000 and 2020.
Methods: an ecological time series study, based on secondary data on prostate cancer Hospital-Based Cancer Registries prostate. Data incompleteness was classified as excellent (<5%), good (between 5%-10%), fair (10%-20%), poor (20%-50%) and very poor (>50%), according to the percentage of lack of information.
Results: there were 13,519 cases of prostate cancer in the Hospital-Based Cancer Registries analyzed. The variables "family history of cancer" (p<0.001), "alcoholism" (p<0.001), "smoking" (p<0.001), "TNM staging" (p<0.001) had a decreasing trend, while "clinical start of treatment" (p<0.001), "origin" (p=0.008) and "occupation" (p<0.001) indicated an increasing trend.
Conclusions: most Hospital-Based Cancer Registries variables showed excellent completeness, but important variables had high percentages of incompleteness, such as TNM and clinical staging, in addition to alcoholism and smoking.

Dietary monounsaturated fatty acids in relation to risk of gastric cancer.
Eur J Nutr
August 2025
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Hillman Cancer Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Background: Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are considered healthy fats with a single double bond in the constituent fatty acids and have antioxidant properties, cholesterol-lowering properties, and ability to reduce chronic inflammation. Evidence regarding the effect of MUFA intake on gastric cancer risk is inconclusive among diverse populations. Given the differences in dietary composition among different racial/ethnicities, we aimed to evaluate the association between MUFA intake and risk of gastric cancer in a hospital-based case-control study comprising 1182 incident cases of gastric cancer and 2965 controls in Vietnam.

Background: Familial melanoma represents approximately 10% of cutaneous melanomas. Individuals with pathogenic germline variants have a higher risk of developing multiple primary melanomas (MPM). However, differences in clinical, dermoscopic, and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features between variant carriers and non-carriers are not well established.

Division of Health Sciences Centre for Interprofessional Education, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Clinical workplaces such as hospitals are often keen to arrange interprofessional learning activities for students on clinical placements, but radiation therapy (RT) students are often overlooked because of a lack of awareness and understanding of their role in patient care. Furthermore, there are challenges in setting up hospital-based interprofessional education (IPE) because of the logistics of liaising with a large number of staff, as students are from different disciplines. Hospitals that offer RT are ideal sites to offer IPE, as invariably staff in these settings work interprofessionally to support patients with cancer and can immediately see its value.

Division of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.
Background: Despite being integral to the deprescribing process, integration of shared decision making (SDM) into structured deprescribing interventions and its relation to patient outcomes remain understudied.
Methods: We conducted a scoping review of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and PsycInfo (through September 2023) with a medical librarian's guidance. Studies of SDM interventions for deprescribing in older adults with polypharmacy were included.
Colorectal Cancer Risk and Protective Factors Among People of African Descent: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cureus
July 2025
General Practice, Lagos State University College of Medicine, Lagos, NGA.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly affecting populations in low- and middle-income countries. Lower screening utilization among African descent has been linked to delayed diagnosis and early intervention. This review aims to identify the most common risk and protective factors of CRC among people of African descent.
