“…In Khon Kaen in Thailand, 89% of histologically confirmed cases of liver cancer are ICC, and almost all ICC cases are related to O. viverrini infection 36,38. In a C. sinensis endemic area in Korea, there is also a high incidence of liver cancer, with truncated incidence rates (35‐ to 64‐year age group) of 74.8/105 in males and 15.6/105 in females 39. ICC accounted for more than 20% of liver cancers in Pusan, Korea 40…”

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), also known as cholangiocellular carcinoma or peripheral bile duct carcinoma, is an intrahepatic malignant tumor that consists of cells resembling the biliary epithelium. The proportion of ICC among primary hepatic malignancies is approximately 10% worldwide. Although the etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear in a great majority of cases, preceding pathologic conditions or etiologies in the development of ICC are known or suspected in a proportion of these patients. Some forms of ICC, such as those associated with hepatolithiasis or liver fluke infestation, are endemic in parts of the world, particularly in East Asia. ICC is reportedly a late complication of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Most of these preceding pathologic conditions are forms of chronic cholangitis, and longstanding inflammation, chronic injury, and regenerative hyperplasia of the biliary epithelium may be causally related to malignant transformation. Biliary epithelial dysplasia is encountered in the intrahepatic bile ducts both near and remote from ICC foci in the liver and near and remote from the chronically inflamed biliary tree. This lesion could be a precancerous lesion, and it shows telomerase activity and increased proliferative activities. Furthermore, congenital and developmental disorders of the biliary system, such as Caroli's disease, congenital hepatic fibrosis, and pancreatico-biliary malformation are occasionally associated with ICC. Benign biliary tumors, such as biliary papillomatosis, may eventually undergo malignant transformation. These lesions could be regarded as precancerous or borderline lesions. Some ICCs may also develop in nonbiliary viral cirrhosis. In the majority of cases of ICC, however, the etiology, pathogenesis, and developmental processes and precancerous lesions of the ICC remain unclear.

“…59 The age-adjusted incidence of thyroid cancer in 1986 was 3.9 in females and 0.8 in males per 100 000 people per year. 60 According to the data from the Korean National Cancer Registry, the ageadjusted incidence of thyroid cancer in 2007 was 64.8 in females and 11.6 in males per 100 000 people per year. 59 This dramatic increase in thyroid cancer incidence during the past 20 years appears to result from the improved diagnosis of small cancers due to the increased use of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies in South Korea.…”

Over the last four decades, rapid industrialisation and a Westernized lifestyle have changed disease patterns in South Korea. This study was conducted to review the current state of men's health in South Korea. By reviewing reports of government authorities and domestic and foreign studies related to men's health, we found that in men o65 years of age, 28.4% considered their health status good, whereas 38.3% considered their health status poor. The prevalence of moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms was similar to that in Caucasians. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction was higher than the global average. The incidence of cryptorchidism and hypospadias showed a tendency towards increase. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus continuously increased by 10.8% in 2008 and was the fifth leading cause of death in 2008. The prevalence of obesity increased from 26.0% in 1998 to 31.7% in 2007. The prevalence of ischaemic heart disease has continuously increased, with heart diseases causing one of every 12 deaths. The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 2005 was 17.2% among adults o45 years of age. The top five prevalent cancers in men, in descending order, were cancers of the stomach, lung, liver, large bowel and prostate, among which the incidence of stomach, lung and liver cancers decreased by 0.7%, 0.6% and 2.2%, respectively, from 1999 to 2007, whereas the incidence of large bowel and prostate cancers increased by 7.0% and 13.2%, respectively. The prevalence of depression, dementia and sleep disorders was estimated as 17.3%, 4.21% and 20.2%, respectively. Together, these findings suggest that disease patterns in South Korean men are becoming Westernized.

“…Bile duct cancer is more prevalent in Asian countries than in the United States and Europe. For example, there is a high prevalence of intrahepatic bile duct cancer in areas such as Thailand (96/100 000 in men and 38/100 000 in women) [1] and South Korea (75/100 000 in men and 16/100 000 in women) [24] , whereas its prevalence in the United States is low with only 1-2/100 000 [25] . The geographic differences in the prevalence of bile duct cancer may be attributed to various distributions of local risk factors for bile duct cancer such as hepatolithiasis or liver-fluke infestation.…”
