“…and colon/rectum cancers were the main causes of cancer death. Heart disease, diabetes mellitus and hypertensive diseases associated with MetS were also leading causes of death in Korea, accounting for approximately 16 % of all deaths (20) . Prevalence of MetS in Korea was 24·9 % in 1998 and increased to 31·3 % in 2007 (Fig.…”

Over a few decades, Korean diet has changed from traditional diet, mainly composed of rice and vegetables, to Westernised diet rich, in meat and milk, along with the economic development and globalisation. Increasing prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases such as cancer and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is becoming a heavy burden to society and requires further attention. In this review, the association of meat and milk consumption with cancer and MetS among Koreans was discussed. Previous meta-analyses showed that meat intake was positively associated with increased risk of cancers, especially colon, as well as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and that the intake of milk and dairy products was negatively associated with colorectal cancer, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, based on studies conducted mostly in Western countries. In Korea and other Asian countries, the association of meat and milk intake with cancers were inconclusive and varied by types of cancers. Conversely, milk intake was negatively associated with MetS risk as reported in Western countries. The difference in results between Korea and Western countries might come from the differences in dietary patterns and study designs. Most Koreans still maintain traditional dietary pattern, although rapid change towards Westernised diet is underway among the younger age group. Randomised clinical trials or prospective cohort studies with consideration of combined effects of various dietary factors in Korea and other Asian countries are needed to elucidate the impact of meat and milk or related dietary patterns in their diet.

“…Colorectal cancer is generally less common in Asia than in the Western world (Ferlay et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2015) but is becoming of greater importance and is generally on the increase, for example in Korea (Jung et al, 2015), Turkey (Seydaoğlu et al, 2013) and in Iran, for example in Kermanshah and Hamadan provinces; however, change did not reach significance in Ilam and Kurdistan provinces (Abdifard et al, 2013), increasing East Azerbaijan (Somi et al, 2014) and Kerman (Roya and Abbas, 2013). In China, age-specific rates of colorectal remained relatively stable in one study (Zhou et al, 2015) and in Japan, colorectum and lung (males), showed a pattern of increasing incidence and mortality rates until the mid-1990s, stabilizing or decreasing thereafter (Katanoda et al, 2013).…”

Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality in Kazakhstan are relatively high but exact statistics have hitherto been lacking and trends over time are unclear. The present study was therefore undertaken to retrospectively assess data for East Kazakhstan, accessed from the central registration office, for the period 2004-2013. Approximate age standardized data for incidence and mortality were generated and compared across age groups, gender and year. It was determined that during the studied period 3,417 new cases of colorectal cancer were registered and 2,259 died of this pathology. Average cancer cancer incidence and mortality over the ten years were 24.1/10 5 and 15.9/10 5 respectively, and the overall ratio of mortality/incidence (M/I) was 0.69:1 (range 0.58-0.73). Both incidence and mortality tended to remain constant in both males and females. The male to female ratios also did not significantly vary over time but a trend for improvement of the mortality to incidence ratio was observed, especially for rectum. Whether this might be related to screening remains unclear. These preliminary data indicate that whereas colorectal cancer continues to be important, change in environmental factors are not having a great impact on incidence in East Kazakhstan.

“…9,10 In a study conducted in Japan, synchronous esophageal cancer and GC were detected in 23 patients (8.0%) and 8 patients (2.8%) of 287 patients with HNSCC during initial endoscopic examination. 8 Histologically, most GCs are adenocarcinoma, and the risk factors for GC are Helicobacter pylori infection and certain life habits, such as salty diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption.…”

Background/Aims: Gastric cancer (GC) is the second most common cancer in Korea and the most common in men in the south of the country. We investigated the incidence of synchronous GC in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in the southern part of Korea. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of HNSCC patients treated between 2011 and 2014. In patients with synchronous GC, evaluation included a history of smoking and alcohol consumption, endoscopic findings, Campylobacter-like organism (CLO) test, and immunohistochemical analysis of preserved HNSCC tissues. Results: Analysis of the records of 153 HNSCC patients revealed tumors of the larynx in 56 patients (36.6%), of the pharynx in 74 patients (48.4%), and tumors at other locations in 23 patients (15.0%). The mean age of patients was 66.0 years, and the men:women ratio was 8:1. Synchronous cancers were detected in 12 patients. We observed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in five patients (3.3%), and gastric adenocarcinoma in seven patients (4.6%). Synchronous GC was detected in patients with laryngeal SCC. All cases of GC were classified as early GC. Conclusions: Synchronous GC was as frequent as esophageal SCC in patients with HNSCC, and all cases of GC were observed to be early stage cancers in this study. Thorough endoscopic examination should be performed in patients with laryngeal cancer to de-
