Othmane B, Yi Z, Zhang C, Chen J, Zu X, Fan B. Filling the gaps in the research about second primary malignancies after bladder cancer: Focus on race and histology. Front Public Health 2022; 10:1036722. [PMID: 36466542 PMCID: PMC9713240 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.1036722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Previous research has shown that bladder cancer has one of the highest incidences of developing a second primary malignancy. So, we designed this study to further examine this risk in light of race and histology. Patients and methods Using the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) 18 registry, we retrospectively screened patients who had been diagnosed with bladder cancer between 2000 and 2018. We then tracked these survivors until a second primary cancer diagnosis, the conclusion of the trial, or their deaths. In addition to doing a competing risk analysis, we derived standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for SPMs by race and histology. Results A total of 162,335 patients with bladder cancer were included, and during follow-ups, a second primary cancer diagnosis was made in 31,746 of these patients. When the data were stratified by race, SIRs and IRRs for SPMs showed a significant difference: Asian/Pacific Islanders (APIs) had a more pronounced increase in SPMs (SIR: 2.15; p 0.05) than White and Black individuals who had an SIRs of 1.69 and 1.94, respectively; p 0.05. In terms of histology, the epithelial type was associated with an increase in SPMs across all three races, but more so in APIs (IRR: 3.51; 95% CI: 2.11-5.85; p 0.001). Conclusion We found that race had an impact on both the type and risk of SPMs. Additionally, the likelihood of an SPM increases with the length of time between the two malignancies and the stage of the index malignancy.

Maciejewski A, Lacka K. Vitamin D-Related Genes and Thyroid Cancer-A Systematic Review. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:13661. [PMID: 36362448 PMCID: PMC9658610 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Vitamin D, formerly known for its role in calcium-phosphorus homeostasis, was shown to exert a broad influence on immunity and on differentiation and proliferation processes in the last few years. In the field of endocrinology, there is proof of the potential role of vitamin D and vitamin D-related genes in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer-the most prevalent endocrine malignancy. Therefore, the study aimed to systematically review the publications on the association between vitamin D-related gene variants (polymorphisms, mutations, etc.) and thyroid cancer. PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases were searched for relevant studies. A total of ten studies were found that met the inclusion criteria. Six vitamin D-related genes were analyzed (VDR-vitamin D receptor, CYP2R1-cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily R member 1, CYP24A1-cytochrome P450 family 24 subfamily A member 1, CYP27B1-cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily B member 1, DHCR7-7-dehydrocholesterol reductase and CUBN-cubilin). Moreover, a meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the data from the studies on VDR polymorphisms (rs2228570/FokI, rs1544410/BsmI, rs7975232/ApaI and rs731236/TaqI). Some associations between thyroid cancer risk (VDR, CYP24A1, DHCR7) or the clinical course of the disease (VDR) and vitamin D-related gene polymorphisms were described in the literature. However, these results seem inconclusive and need validation. A meta-analysis of the five studies of common VDR polymorphisms did not confirm their association with increased susceptibility to differentiated thyroid cancer. Further efforts are necessary to improve our understanding of thyroid cancer pathogenesis and implement targeted therapies for refractory cases.
