“…This unchanged AC incidence contrasts with the incidence rates reported from other countries where it is rising (Zheng et al, 1996;Vizcaino et al, 1998;Bergstrom et al, 1999;Plaxe and Saltzstein, 1999;Smith et al, 2000;Liu et al, 2001;Sasieni and Adams, 2001;Visioli et al, 2004;Wang et al, 2004;Bray et al, 2005). However, a stable pattern has been reported more often (Vizcaino et al, 1998;Chan et al, 2003;Bulk et al, 2005), although a decreasing incidence has also been recorded (Vizcaino et al, 1998;Bray et al, 2005;Howlett et al, 2007). Studies covering the years after 1995 more often found a decrease in AC incidence after an earlier increase; for example, Howlett et al (2007) found an increase in AC incidence from 1981 to 1995 and a decrease in incidence from 1995 to 2001.…”

“…Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for the majority of tumors. Adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas comprise 10% to 18% of all cervical malignant tumors and seem to be increasing in absolute number of cases, as well as in relative percentage of invasive cervical tumors diagnosed (18,19). The observed survival rate for patients with adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma has generally been poorer than the survival rate for patients with squamous cell carcinoma (19,20).…”

Purpose: Recent studies have suggested a novel oncogenic role of a bric-a-brac tramtrack broad complex (also known as POZ) domain gene, NAC-1, in ovarian carcinomas. The aim of this study was to clarify the functional role of NAC-1in human cervical carcinomas. Experimental Design: NAC-1 expression in cervical cancer was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and data on clinical variables were collected by retrospective chart review. NAC-1 gene knockdown using small interfering RNA and a NAC-1 gene transfection system were used to asses NAC-1function in cervical cancer in vivo. Results: Immunohistochemical and gene expression analysis revealed that NAC-1is significantly overexpressed in cervical adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas compared with squamous cell carcinomas. Patients with squamous cell carcinomas positive for NAC-1 expression who received radiotherapy had significantly shorter overall survival than peers whose tumors did not express NAC-1, and multivariate analysis showed that NAC-1expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival after radiotherapy. Overexpressions of the NAC-1gene stimulated cell proliferation in cervical carcinoma cells of theTCS, CaSki, and HeLa P3 lines, which do not have endogenous NAC-1 expression. NAC-1 gene knockdown inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in HeLa, HeLaTG, and ME180 cells, all of which overexpressed NAC-1. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that NAC-1 may play an important role in cervical carcinomas; moreover, these findings provide a rationale for future development of NAC-1^based therapy for cervical carcinomas that overexpress this candidate oncogene.

BACKGROUNDThe American Cancer Society, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Cancer Institute, and North American Association of Central Cancer Registries collaborate annually to provide U.S. cancer information, this year featuring the first comprehensive compilation of cancer information for U.S. Latinos.METHODSCancer incidence was obtained from 90% of the Hispanic/Latino and 82% of the U.S. populations. Cancer deaths were obtained for the entire U.S. population. Cancer screening, risk factor, incidence, and mortality data were compiled for Latino and non‐Latino adults and children (incidence only). Long‐term (1975–2003) and fixed‐interval (1995–2003) trends and comparative analyses by disease stage, urbanicity, and area poverty were evaluated.RESULTSThe long‐term trend in overall cancer death rates, declining since the early 1990s, continued through 2003 for all races and both sexes combined. However, female lung cancer incidence rates increased from 1975 to 2003, decelerating since 1991 and breast cancer incidence rates stabilized from 2001 to 2003. Latinos had lower incidence rates in 1999–2003 for most cancers, but higher rates for stomach, liver, cervix, and myeloma (females) than did non‐Latino white populations. Latino children have higher incidence of leukemia, retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and germ‐cell tumors than do non‐Latino white children. For several common cancers, Latinos were less likely than non‐Latinos to be diagnosed at localized stages.CONCLUSIONSThe lower cancer rates observed in Latino immigrants could be sustained by maintenance of healthy behaviors. Some infection‐related cancers in Latinos could be controlled by evidence‐based interventions. Affordable, culturally sensitive, linguistically appropriate, and timely access to cancer information, prevention, screening, and treatment are important in Latino outreach and community networks.
