The global burden of childhood and adolescent cancer in 2017: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.
Accurate childhood cancer burden data are crucial for resource planning and health policy prioritisation. Model-based estimates are necessary because cancer surveillance data are scarce or non-existent in many countries. Although global incidence and mortality estimates are available, there are no previous analyses of the global burden of childhood cancer represented in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). ⋯ Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC), and St. Baldrick's Foundation.

Surgical resection based on ontogenetic cancer field theory for cervical cancer: mature results from a single-centre, prospective, observational, cohort study.
Previous findings from our centre suggest that carcinoma of the cervix propagates within ontogenetic cancer fields, tissue compartments defined by staged morphogenesis. We aimed to determine whether surgical treatment that accounts for stage-associated, ontogenetic cancer fields and their associated lymphoid tissues results in locoregional tumour control without the need for adjuvant radiotherapy. ⋯ Leipzig School of Radical Pelvic Surgery, University of Leipzig Medical School, and the Gynecologic Oncology Research Foundation.
