“…Helicobacter pylori infection is a well-established risk factor for gastric cancer, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified it as a class I carcinogen for gastric cancer (Brenner et al, 2009;Ford et al, 2014;Moore, 2014). As would be expected, helicobacter pylori infection is generally more prevalent in countries with high gastric cancer incidence rates than countries with low gastric cancer incidence rates (Fock, 2014).…”

“…Smoking is a causal risk factor for gastric cancer and it is estimated that about one in six gastric cancers are attributable to smoking (Gonzalez et al, 2003;LadeirasLopez et al, 2008;Brenner et al, 2009;Moore, 2014). There is also an established link between a high dietary salt intake and gastric cancer and a recent meta-analysis of prospective studies found a relative risk of 1.68 (95% confidence interval: 1.17-2.41) for high versus low salt intakes (D'Elia et al, 2012;D'Elia et al, 2014;Moore, 2014).…”

Gastric cancer incidence rates vary dramatically by world region with East Asia having the highest rate. The Asian population of the United States (US) is growing rapidly and over 17 million Americans are of Asian descent. A majority of Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese Americans are immigrants. Americans of East and Southeast Asian descent experience marked gastric cancer disparities and the incidence rate among Korean men in the US is over five times higher than the incidence rate among non-Hispanic white men. Randomized controlled trials have provided evidence for the effectiveness of helicobacter pylori identification and eradication in preventing gastric cancer. Additionally, Japan and South Korea have both experienced improvements in gastric cancer mortality following the implementation of programs to detect early stage gastric cancers. There are currently no clear US guidelines regarding the primary and secondary prevention of gastric cancer in high-risk immigrant populations. However, it is likely that a proportion of US physicians are already recommending gastric cancer screening for Asian patients and some Asian immigrants to the US may be completing screening for gastric cancer in their native countries. Surveys of US primary care physicians and Asian American communities should be conducted to assess current provider practices and patient uptake with respect to gastric cancer prevention and control. In the absence of clinical guidelines, US health care providers who serve high-risk Asian groups could consider a shared decision-making approach to helicobacter pylori identification and eradication, as well as gastric endoscopy.

“…In accordance, many reports highlight the increasing trend in breast cancer incidence in developed countries and many of which have been detected in advanced stages where the cure is not possible [ 1 ]. Lifestyle (carcinogens, alcohol, tobacco, post-menopausal obesity and less exercise), reproductive factors (early menarche, late menopause, hormone level, and pregnancy) and diet with high-fat content have been established as the common risk factors for breast cancer development especially in asian population [ 2 ].…”

Detection of HER2 Gene Polymorphism in Breast Cancer: PCR Optimization Study

Cancers are the most deadly diseases in the world and their incidences continue to increase over time. Particularly, breast cancer in females places 1st rank among other types of cancers in term of cancer cases (23%) and death incidence (14%). Recent findings support the correlation between Ile655Val SNP in the HER2 gene with breast cancer risk. Moreover, the Ile655Val HER2 gene polymorphism could be a predictive factor in a neoadjuvant therapy setting. Precise detection of the Ile655Val HER2 gene SNP in early breast cancer patients will be beneficial in designing the most suitable treatment and in increasing the efficacy of anticancer drugs. Here we develop a rapid and inexpensive method for Ile655Val SNP detection in the HER2 gene based on allele-specific PCR technology. Two forward primers and one common reverse primer were designed to anneal specifically either on the HER2 gene fragment containing the GG genotype or to the HER2 gene fragment containing the AA genotype where one of these primers had been added with poly-GC at 5’ upstream. Moreover, to increase discrimination level, mismatch bases at the SNP site and the 3rd base of each forward primers from 3’end were added. To test the performance of the designed primers in discriminating a polymorphism and its annealing temperature, breast cancer specimen-derived genomic DNA (with GG genotype) and pGEM_HER2/AA (with AA genotype) were used as templates in the PCR reaction. The optimal annealing temperature for SNP detection was at 51.5°C as showed by the appearance of a 150 base pair (bp) band as AA genotype (pGEM_HER2/AA template), 116bp band as GG genotype (genomic DNA template), and both types of bands as AG genotype (mix of pGEM_HER2/AA and genomic DNA template). Allelic types of breast cancer patients were also determined using this optimized method compared to sanger sequencing. The 100% accordance was shown for all types of genotypes in both methods. The allele-specific PCR in this study may have application in determining polymorphisms of the breast cancers-originated Ile655Val HER2 gene.

“…Early efforts have reported several challenges including the lack of access to care, contamination of the environment, and cancer fatalistic attitudes among individuals in China, lack of informed healthcare staff, and sociocultural barriers in India, and inadequate assessment of cancer burden, negative societal attitudes towards cancer prevention, and lack of partnerships and engagement in Russia [66]. Many countries (both developed and developing) have cited the need for better assessments of cancer burden, determination of risk and protective factors, early detection and screening, interventions in vaccination, tobacco cessation efforts and palliative care, coordination and measurement of impact [67,68]. The U.S. NCCCP provides a successful model, addressing all these factors in a coordinated, impactful, and collaborative approach for these countries to learn from and adapt.…”

Cancer is the second leading cause of the death in the United States (U.S.). The National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) is a national, public health practice program funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The NCCCP has been planning and implementing interventions to reduce the burden of cancer since 1998. Interventions are implemented across three areas primary prevention, early detection, and survivorship using health systems and environmental changes to promote sustainable cancer control. The aim of this chapter is to provide a summary of the NCCCP, and highlight specific examples of interventions and successes to aid cancer planning in other countries. Cancer plan analyses show that all NCCCP participant cancer plans address reducing tobacco use for cancer prevention and 98% contain activities to increase colorectal cancer screening. The vast majority implement activities to improve the quality of life following a cancer diagnosis (94%). Relatively fewer cancer plans contain activities to reduce radon exposure (42%), promote human papilloma virus vaccination (62%), and incorporate the use of genomics in cancer control (56%). The examples of NCCCP activities demonstrate success in controlling cancer and other non-communicable diseases through public health practice.
