Z 1,043 milionu nových nádorů děložního hrdla, těla a vaječníků ve světě v roce 2008 uvádí databáze Globocan 2008 (IARC) 31 % ve vyspělých a 69 % v méně vyspělých zemích; z 489 tisíc zemřelých uvádí 27 % ve vyspělých a 73 % v méně vyspělých zemích. Do roku 2030 mohou nová onemocnění ve světě vzrůst o 550 tisíc, tj. 53 %, a úmrtí o 303 tisíc, tj. 62 %. V méně vyspělých zemích může být nárůst o 65 % na 1,19 milionu nových případů, o 80 % na 639 tisíc úmrtí, ve vyspělých zemích o 19 % na 382 tisíc nových případů, o 29 % na 168 tisíc úmrtí. Z odhadu pětileté prevalence 3,203 milionu případů ve světě se v roce 2008 vyskytlo 67 % v méně vyspělých a 33 % ve vyspělých zemích včetně 677 tisíc v Evropě. Porovnáním hrubé incidence 40 zemí Evropy byly ženy ČR první u nádoru děložního těla, deváté u nádorů vaječníků a jedenácté u nádoru děložního hrdla. Výzva WHO „Společně je to možné” spojuje úsilí o snížení budoucí incidence a rozdílů v onkologické péči., Of a total of 1.043 million worldwide new cases of cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer in 2008 based in Globocan 2008 (IARC), 31 % were estimated in more developed and 69 % in less developed countries; of 489 thousand deaths from cancer, 27 % were in more developed and 73 % in less developed countries. By 2030 an estimated worldwide increase is by 550 thousand, i.e. 53 % for new cases and 303 thousand, i.e. 62 % for deaths. The expected increasing will be by 65 % up to 1.19 million new cases and 80 % up to 639 thousand deaths in less developed countries, and by 19 % (up to 382 thousand new cases) and 29 % (up to 168 thousand deaths) in more developed countries. Of the estimated five-year prevalence of 3.203 million cases worldwide there were 67 % in less, and 33 % in more developed countries which included Europe with 677 thousand cases in 2008. On comparison of crude incidence rates of 40 European countries, Czech females ranked alarming first in uterine, ninth in ovarian and eleventh in cervical cancer. The WHO appeal “Together It Is Possible” calls for a joint effort to reduce the future incidence and disparities in cancer care., Edvard Geryk, Bohuslav Svoboda, Martina Kubecová, Petr Kubíček, Pavla Líbalová, Dalibor Pacík, and Literatura 20
Aims: This is the first study carried out to describe the role of fetal microchimerism (FM) in the pathogenesis of uterine cancer. The prevalence and concentration of male fetal microchimeric cells (FMCs) were examined in endometrial tissues in relation to subtypes of uterine cancer, and the histological grade and stage of the tumor. FM occurrence was analyzed in relation to risk factors including hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, age at cancer diagnosis and patient pregnancy history. The prevalence and concentration of FMCs were examined in endometrial tissues using real-time polymerase chain reaction, SRY and b-globin sequences as markers for male fetal FMCs and total DNA. The studied group involved 47 type 1 endometrial cancers, 28 type 2 endometrial cancers and 41 benign uterine diseases. Results: While the prevalence of FM was decreased only in type 1 endometrial cancer, compared to benign uterine disorders (38.3% vs.70.7%; OR = 0.257, 95% CI: 0.105 to 0.628, p = 0.003), FMC concentrations did not differ within examined groups. The lower FM prevalence was detected in low grade (grade 1 and grade 2) endometrioid cancer (38.3% vs. 70.7%, OR = 0.256, 95% CI: 0.105 to 0.627, p = 0.003) and in FIGO 1 tumors (40.7% vs. 70.7%, OR= 0.285, 95% CI: 0.120 to 0.675, p = 0.004). No correlation between FM prevalence or FMC concentrations and risk factors was demonstrated. Conclusions: A lower prevalence of male FM seemed to be associated with better prognoses in uterine cancer based on tumor subtype, histological grade and stage of the tumor. and Ilona Hromadnikova, Katerina Kotlabova, Petra Pirkova, Pavla Libalova, Zdenka Vernerova, Bohuslav Svoboda, Eduard Kucera
