Lung Cancer Mortality and Topography: A Xuanwei Case Study.

ABSTRACT: The epidemic of lung cancer in Xuanwei City, China, remains serious despite the reduction of the risk of indoor air pollution through citywide stove improvement. The main objective of this study was to characterize the influences of topography on the spatiotemporal variations of lung cancer mortality in Xuanwei during 1990-2013. Using the spatially empirical Bayes method, the smoothed mortality rate of lung cancer was obtained according to the mortality data and population data collected from the retrospective survey (1990-2005) and online registration data (2011-2013). Spatial variations of the village-level mortality rate and topographic factors, including the relief degree of land surface (RDLS) and dwelling conditions (VDC), were characterized through spatial autocorrelation and hotspot analysis. The relationship between topographic factors and the epidemic of lung cancer was explored using correlation analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR). There is a pocket-like area (PLA) in Xuanwei, covering the clustered villages with lower RDLS and higher VDC. Although the villages with higher mortality rate (>80 per 10⁵) geographically expanded from the center to the northeast of Xuanwei during 1990-2013, the village-level mortality rate was spatially clustered, which yielded a persistent hotspot area in the upward part of the PLA. In particular, the epidemic of lung cancer was closely correlated with both RDLS and VDC at the village scale, and its spatial heterogeneity could be greatly explained by the village-level VDC in the GWR model. Spatiotemporally featured lung cancer mortality in Xuanwei was potentially influenced by topographic conditions at the village scale.

Sleep Duration across the Adult Lifecourse and Risk of Lung Cancer Mortality: A Cohort Study in Xuanwei, China.

Project description:Sufficient sleep duration is crucial for maintaining normal physiological function and has been linked to cancer risk; however, its contribution to lung cancer mortality is unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between average sleep duration in various age-periods across the adult lifecourse, and risk of lung cancer mortality in Xuanwei, China. An ambidirectional cohort study was conducted in 42,422 farmers from Xuanwei, China. Participants or their surrogates were interviewed in 1992 to assess average sleep hours in the age periods of 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, and ?71 years, which were categorized as ?7, 8 (reference), 9, and ?10 hours/day. Vital status was followed until 2011. Sex-specific Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for lung cancer mortality in 1994-2011, adjusted for demographic, anthropometric, medical, and household characteristics. J-shaped relationships were found between average sleep duration and lung cancer mortality. The patterns were consistent across sex, age periods, and fuel usage. Compared with sleeping 8 hours/day on average, ?7 hours/day was associated with significantly increased HRs ranging from 1.39 to 1.58 in ages ?41 years in men, and 1.29 to 2.47 in ages ?51 years in women. Furthermore, sleeping ?10 hours/day was associated with significantly increased HRs ranging from 2.44 to 3.27 in ages ?41 year in men, and 1.31 to 2.45 in ages ?60 years in women. Greater and less than 8 hours/day of sleep in various age-periods may be associated with elevated risk of lung cancer mortality in Xuanwei, China. Cancer Prev Res; 10(6); 327-35. ©2017 AACR.

Tuberculosis and subsequent risk of lung cancer in Xuanwei, China.

Project description:Tobacco and indoor air pollution from smoky coal are major causes of lung cancer in rural Xuanwei County, China. Tuberculosis has been suggested to increase lung cancer risk, but data from prior studies are limited. We conducted an analysis of data from a retrospective cohort study of 42,422 farmers in Xuanwei. In 1992, interviewers administered a standardized questionnaire that included lifetime medical history, including tuberculosis. Subjects were followed from 1976, with deaths from lung cancer ascertained through 1996. We used proportional hazards regression to assess the association between tuberculosis and subsequent lung cancer mortality. Tuberculosis was reported by 246 subjects (0.6%), and 2,459 (5.8%) died from lung cancer during follow-up. Lung cancer mortality was substantially higher in subjects with tuberculosis than in those without (25 vs. 3.1 per 1,000 person-years). The association was especially pronounced in the first 5 years after tuberculosis diagnosis (hazard ratios [HRs] ranging 6.7-13) but remained strong 5-9.9 years (HR 3.4, 95% CI 1.3-9.1) and 10+ years (HR 3.0, 95% CI 1.3-7.3) after tuberculosis. These associations were similar among men and women and among smoky coal users (70.5% of subjects). Adjustment for demographic characteristics, lung disease and tobacco use did not affect results. In Xuanwei, China, tuberculosis is an important risk factor for lung cancer. The increased lung cancer risk, persisting years after a tuberculosis diagnosis, could reflect the effects of chronic pulmonary inflammation and scarring arising from tuberculosis.

Smoky coal, tobacco smoking, and lung cancer risk in Xuanwei, China.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Lung cancer rates in Xuanwei are the highest in China. In-home use of smoky coal has been associated with lung cancer risk, and the association of smoking and lung cancer risk strengthened after stove improvement. Here, we explored the differential association of tobacco use and lung cancer risk by the intensity, duration, and type of coal used. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We conducted a population-based case-control study of 260 male lung cancer cases and 260 age-matched male controls. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for tobacco use was calculated by conditional logistic regression. RESULTS:Use of smoky coal was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, and tobacco use was weakly and non-significantly associated with lung cancer risk. When the association was assessed by coal use, the cigarette-lung cancer risk association was null in hazardous coal users and elevated in less hazardous smoky coal users and non-smoky coal users. The risk of lung cancer per cigarette per day decreased as annual use of coal increased (>0-3 tons: OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.03-1.17; >3 tons: OR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.95-1.03). Among more hazardous coal users, attenuation occurred at even low levels of usage (>0-3 tons: OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.91-1.14; >3 tons: OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.97-1.03). CONCLUSION:We found evidence that smoky coal attenuated the tobacco and lung cancer risk association in males that lived in Xuanwei, particularly among users of hazardous coal where even low levels of smoky coal attenuated the association. Our results suggest that the adverse effects of tobacco may become more apparent as China's population continues to switch to cleaner fuels for the home, underscoring the urgent need for smoking cessation in China and elsewhere.

Risk of lung cancer associated with domestic use of coal in Xuanwei, China: retrospective cohort study.

Project description:ObjectiveTo estimate the risk of lung cancer associated with the use of different types of coal for household cooking and heating.SettingXuanwei County, Yunnan Province, China.DesignRetrospective cohort study (follow-up 1976-96) comparing mortality from lung cancer between lifelong users of "smoky coal" (bituminous) and "smokeless coal" (anthracite).Participants27,310 individuals using smoky coal and 9962 individuals using smokeless coal during their entire life.Main outcome measuresPrimary outcomes were absolute and relative risk of death from lung cancer among users of different types of coal. Unadjusted survival analysis was used to estimate the absolute risk of lung cancer, while Cox regression models compared mortality hazards for lung cancer between smoky and smokeless coal users.ResultsLung cancer mortality was substantially higher among users of smoky coal than users of smokeless coal. The absolute risks of lung cancer death before 70 years of age for men and women using smoky coal were 18% and 20%, respectively, compared with less than 0.5% among smokeless coal users of both sexes. Lung cancer alone accounted for about 40% of all deaths before age 60 among individuals using smoky coal. Compared with smokeless coal, use of smoky coal was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer death (for men, hazard ratio 36 (95% confidence interval 20 to 65); for women, 99 (37 to 266)).ConclusionsIn Xuanwei, the domestic use of smoky coal is associated with a substantial increase in the absolute lifetime risk of developing lung cancer and is likely to represent one of the strongest effects of environmental pollution reported for cancer risk. Use of less carcinogenic types of coal could translate to a substantial reduction of lung cancer risk.

Polymorphisms in innate immunity genes and lung cancer risk in Xuanwei, China.

Project description:The high incidence of lung cancer in Xuanwei County, China has been attributed to exposure to indoor smoky coal emissions that contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The inflammatory response induced by coal smoke components may promote lung tumor development. We studied the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in innate immunity and lung cancer risk in a population-based case-control study (122 cases and 122 controls) in Xuanwei. A total of 1,360 tag SNPs in 149 gene regions were included in the analysis. FCER2 rs7249320 was the most significant SNP (OR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.16-0.55; P: 0.0001; false discovery rate value, 0.13) for variant carriers. The gene regions ALOX12B/ALOX15B and KLK2 were associated with increased lung cancer risk globally (false discovery rate value <0.15). In addition, there were positive interactions between KLK15 rs3745523 and smoky coal use (OR: 9.40; P-interaction = 0.07) and between FCER2 rs7249320 and KLK2 rs2739476 (OR: 10.77; P-interaction = 0.003). Our results suggest that genetic polymorphisms in innate immunity genes may play a role in the genesis of lung cancer caused by PAH-containing coal smoke. Integrin/receptor and complement pathways as well as IgE regulation are particularly noteworthy.

Assessment of lung cancer risk factors and mortality in Qatar: A case series study.

Project description:BackgroundThe global burden of cancer has exponentially increased over the last few years. In 2018 alone, approximately more than half of the 18.1 million individuals who had cancer succumbed to it. Lung cancer cases and fatalities are particularly on the rise. Therefore, exploring the factors surrounding lung cancer mortality is of utmost importance.AimsWe investigate the clinicopathological and epidemiological characteristics of patients with lung cancer undergoing treatments, and their 5-year survival rates from a case series study in Qatar.Methods and resultsAll patients' data (between January 2010 and December 2014) in this case series study were retrieved from Al-Amal Hospital database. Kaplan-Meier survival plots, life tables and Cox regression were utilized for the statistical analysis. A total of 229 lung cancer patients were included in this study; of which 23.6% are Qatari (40 males and 14 females) and 76.4% non-Qatari (133 males and 42 females). Approximately 57.6% of our patients received at least one type of treatment. We observe a 5-year survival rate of 9.4% in our patient cohort. We also observe other predictive factors, such as distant metastasis (adjusted hazards ratio, HR = 2.414, 95% CI: 1.035-5.632), smoking status (adjusted HR = 3.909, 95% CI: 1.664-9.180) and the treatment history (adjusted HR = 0.432, 95% CI: 0.270-0.691), to be significant.ConclusionLung cancer is a prevalent health condition in Qatar, particularly owing to the rising use of tobacco in the country. The survival rate for lung cancer patients in this country is lower, compared to the global average. Moreover, several factors such as distant metastasis, smoking status, and treatment history are associated with lung cancer survival in Qatar.

Household air pollution and lung cancer in China: a review of studies in Xuanwei.

Project description:Over half of the world's population is exposed to household air pollution from the burning of solid fuels at home. Household air pollution from solid fuel use is a leading risk factor for global disease and remains a major public health problem, especially in low- and mid-income countries. This is a particularly serious problem in China, where many people in rural areas still use coal for household heating and cooking. This review focuses on several decades of research carried out in Xuanwei County, Yunnan Province, where household coal use is a major source of household air pollution and where studies have linked household air pollution exposure to high rates of lung cancer. We conducted a series of case-control and cohort studies in Xuanwei to characterize the lung cancer risk in this population and the factors associated with it. We found lung cancer risk to vary substantially between different coal types, with a higher risk associated with smoky (i.e., bituminous) coal use compared to smokeless (i.e., anthracite) coal use. The installation of a chimney in homes resulted in a substantial reduction in lung cancer incidence and mortality. Overall, our research underscores the need among existing coal users to improve ventilation, use the least toxic fuel, and eventually move toward the use of cleaner fuels, such as gas and electricity.

Copy number alterations in 8 lung cancer in Xuanwei samples

Project description:In order to screen potential novel 'driver genes' in lung cancer in Xuanwei (LCXW), genome-wide DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) were detected on 8 paired LCXW and non-cancerous lung (NCL) tissues by array-based comparative genomic hybridization microarrays. The log2 copy-number ratio calculation and CNA calls were determined using segMNT algorithm in NimbleScan. Log2 ratio test/control thresholds of 0.25 and -0.25 were defined as copy number gains and losses, respectively. Deviant signal intensity ratios involving 5 or more neighboring probes were considered as genomic aberrations. A large number of CNAs and DEGs were detected, respectively. Many recurrent CNAs were screened out, including gains at 5p15.33-p15.32, 5p15.1-p14.3 and 5p14.3-p14.2, and losses at 11q24.3, 21q21.1, 21q22.12-q22.13 and 21q22.2.

Lung Cancer Mortality in the Lung Screening Study Feasibility Trial.

Project description:The Lung Screening Study was a multicenter controlled feasibility trial that randomly assigned subjects to undergo two rounds of screening with either low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) or chest X-ray (CXR). Long-term follow-up was performed to evaluate any differences in lung-cancer-specific and all-cause mortality between arms. In 2000, subjects were randomly assigned at six screening centers. Linkage with the National Death Index was performed to ascertain long-term mortality for subjects. Median follow-up for mortality of the 1660 and 1658 subjects randomly assigned to LDCT and CXR, respectively, was 5.2 years. There were 32 and 26 deaths from lung cancer in the two groups, respectively, corresponding to lung cancer death rates of 3.84 and 3.10 per 1000 person-years, and a risk ratio of 1.24 (95% confidence interval = 0.74 to 2.08). The risk ratio for all-cause mortality was 1.20 (95% confidence interval = 0.94 to 1.54). These findings can contribute to the overall knowledge on LDCT lung cancer screening.
