Examining the relationship between incidence and mortality for commonly diagnosed cancers in the USA: an observational study using population-based SEER database by H Gilbert Welch, Adewole S Adamson, Vishal R Patel

“…There was little or no relationship between incidence and mortality for cancers in the low-correlation tercile (r: 0.33 to −0.10): melanoma, prostate, breast and thyroid. The risk of death from the diagnosed cancer for these patients was either lower or no different than their risk of death from other causes.Conclusions For some cancers in the USA, the fundamental epidemiologic measure of disease frequency—incidence—now has little relationship with cancer death (mortality). …”

Spore-Derived Isolates from a Single Basidiocarp of Bioluminescent <i>Omphalotus olivascens</i> Reveal Multifaceted Phenotypic and Physiological Variations by Rudy Diaz, David Bermudes

“…This same subset produced an anticancer agent that was highly potent against MDA-MB-468 breast cancer tumor cells. We interpret these variations in haploids as significant in altering <i>Omphalotus</i> physiology and its production of secondary metabolites, which may in turn alter their ecology and life cycle, and could be further applied to studying fungal physiologies and facilitate linking them to their genetic underpinnings.…”
