Lung cancer: sex difference in the lifetime risk and 10-year risk between 1995 and 2013 in a Swiss population

Introduction: In Switzerland, lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death. Because smoking is the major cause of lung cancer, trends in lung cancer incidence are following trends in smoking habits in the population, with a latency time of about 30 years. In Switzerland, there was a peak in men’s lung cancer incidence in the 1980s, followed by a decrease until now. Among women, the incidence has increased since the 1970s and, apparently, has not yet reached a peak. Because cancers are feared diseases, an adequate communication about the individual risk of developing cancer is important. Mortality and incidence are traditionally used to assess cancer burden. However, these metrics are difficult to interpret at the individual level. Providing the lifetime and 10-year risk of cancer could improve risk communication for patients and health professionals. Our aim was to estimate trends in the lifetime and 10-year risk of lung cancer, in men and women, between 1995 and 2013

Is overdiagnosis of prostate cancer leveling off? Recent changes in incidence and surgery rates in Switzerland

Many western countries, including Switzerland. Various organizations have recently recommended against routine screening, notably due to the high risk of overdiagnosis or overtreatment. Our aim was to examine whether recent changes in secular trends in the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer, as well as prostatectomy rates have been observed in Switzerland
