Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Morbidity and Mortality of Cancers”, highlights the complex interrelationships and challenges faced in the diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare of cancer. It is dedicated to examining the burden of disease (morbidity) and mortality associated with different types of cancer. The aim of this Special Issue is to present new research findings, clinical trials, and innovative approaches to improving the care and survival of cancer patients.

It focuses on topics such as the impact of cancer on quality of life, the role of comorbidities, differences in cancer mortality between different population groups and advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. In addition, the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to reduce cancer mortality and improve long-term prognosis will be discussed.

This Special Issue is aimed at oncologists, surgeons, epidemiologists, healthcare providers, and researchers involved in the epidemiology, treatment, and prevention of cancer. It will provide a comprehensive analysis of the current challenges and future prospects in the fight against cancer and emphasizes the need for further research and collaboration on a global scale to sustainably reduce cancer morbidity and mortality.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background: Physical activity has been associated with a lower risk of various types of cancer and reduced cancer-specific mortality. Less is known about its impact on pancreatic cancer. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize evidence on the association between physical activity and pancreatic cancer risk and mortality. Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched until May 2024 for studies examining physical activity in relation to pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality. Summary risk estimates for highest vs. lowest physical activity levels were calculated using a random-effects model. The risk of publication bias was assessed with a funnel plot and Egger’s regression test. Results: A total of seven case–control and eighteen prospective cohort studies were included that investigated the association between physical activity and pancreatic cancer incidence. Our meta-analysis showed a summary estimate of 0.75 (95% CI 0.64–0.88) for case–control studies (I2 = 23%, n = 7) and a summary estimate of 0.91 (95% CI 0.86–0.97) for prospective cohort studies (I2 = 5%, n = 18). Among the six prospective cohort studies that assessed pancreatic cancer mortality, the summary estimate was 1.03 (95% CI 0.83–1.27), I2 = 50%. Conclusions: Higher levels of physical activity were associated with reduced pancreatic cancer risk. Evidence from a limited number of studies suggests that pre-diagnosis physical activity does not affect pancreatic cancer mortality. Full article
