“…is on the decline . Hence, this is potentially a phenomenon unique to the tongue subsite specifically . These findings suggest the possible emergence of new etiological or genetic factors driving carcinogenesis in the tongue, which features more strongly in certain geographic areas, and in different sexes, accounting for heterogeneous results observed herein .…”

“…Is there a real increase in incidence or is this merely an unmasking of a patient cohort consequent to successful anti‐tobacco programs and a decrease in the number of tobacco‐related malignancies? Studies from several tertiary centers and population databases have contradictory results . There are a number of reasons why this may be so.…”

“…In other cases, the reduction has been linked with changes of treatments, notably hormone replacement therapy [44,45] or the use of screening or testing like Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer in Italy [46]. On the other hand, increase of cancer of the tongue has been recorded in Nordic countries [47], thyroid cancer in the U.S. [48] and Australia [49], distant stage breast cancer in the US [50] and India [51]. Variations in screening and lifestyle factors are considered to provide substantial incidence variation [52] but others suggest variations of other risk factors [53].…”

The proportion of cancer-related entries in PubMed has increased considerably; is cancer truly “The Emperor of All Maladies”?

In this work, the public database of biomedical literature PubMed was mined using queries with combinations of keywords and year restrictions. It was found that the proportion of Cancer-related entries per year in PubMed has risen from around 6% in 1950 to more than 16% in 2016. This increase is not shared by other conditions such as AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis, Diabetes, Cardiovascular, Stroke and Infection some of which have, on the contrary, decreased as a proportion of the total entries per year. Organ-related queries were performed to analyse the variation of some specific cancers. A series of queries related to incidence, funding, and relationship with DNA, Computing and Mathematics, were performed to test correlation between the keywords, with the hope of elucidating the cause behind the rise of Cancer in PubMed. Interestingly, the proportion of Cancer-related entries that contain “DNA”, “Computational” or “Mathematical” have increased, which suggests that the impact of these scientific advances on Cancer has been stronger than in other conditions. It is important to highlight that the results obtained with the data mining approach here presented are limited to the presence or absence of the keywords on a single, yet extensive, database. Therefore, results should be observed with caution. All the data used for this work is publicly available through PubMed and the UK’s Office for National Statistics. All queries and figures were generated with the software platform Matlab and the files are available as supplementary material.

“…Other observed or suspected risk factors include diets low in fruit and vegetables, poor dental care, professional exposure to carcinogens or viral infection with Epstein–Barr virus or human immunodeficiency virus . But in recent decades, a lot of countries have observed changes in the epidemiological pattern of a subset of these cancers: the United States, Canada and Scandinavian countries have seen an increase in the incidence of oropharyngeal cancers, whereas the incidence of other HNC is decreasing or constant. For example, from Canadian Cancer Registry data, Forte et al .…”

This suggests an increasing incidence of head and neck cancers due to HPV infection. The difference was less marked in men as compared to women, most likely because of a higher contamination in the HPV-related group by cancers due to tobacco or alcohol consumption. AbstractHuman papilloma virus (HPV) has been recently recognised as a carcinogenic factor for a subset of head and neck cancers (HNC). In Europe, France has one of the highest incidence rates of HNC. The aim of this study is to explore changes in HNC incidence in France, potentially in relation with infection by HPV.HNC were classified into two anatomical groups: potentially HPV-related and HPVunrelated. Trends over the period 1980-2012 were analysed by an age-period-cohort model based on data from eleven French cancer registries.Among men, the age-standardised incidence rate (ASR) of HNC decreased in both groups, but less so for HPV-related sites as compared to unrelated sites, especially in recent years

The increase in incidence of cancer of the tongue in the Nordic countries continues into the twenty-first century

Abstract: In all, 12 280 cases were reported, of which 673 were diagnosed in patients aged 20-39 years. The trend of an increase persisted after 1994 in both sexes and all three age groups except in young males.
