Using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2013 methodology, the GBD Cancer Collaboration investigators estimate mortality, incidence, years lived with disability, years of life lost, and disability-adjusted life years for 28 cancers in 188 countries by sex from 1990 to 2013.

Opinion from JAMA — Newborn Screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency — Progress and Challenges (RT @JAMA_current: #Newborn Screening for Severe Combined #Immunodeficiency http://t.co/opTP3izQBP...
Alfredo Corell's insight:
September 30, 2014, marks the 50th anniversary of the Children’s Bureau recommendation for “the screening of all newborn infants for PKU [phenylketonuria] on a routine basis.”1 By 1968, 43 states had made screening for PKU mandatory.1 As a result of technological advances, newborn screening in the United States has been extended to as many as 37 core conditions in some states.2 As reported by Kwan and colleagues3 in this issue of JAMA, newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) has been undertaken in 23 states and the Navajo Nation, beginning in Wisconsin in January 2008. The authors present data on more than 3 million newborns screened with a T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) assay followed by confirmatory flow cytometry from 11 of these programs (10 states and the Navajo Nation).

Conclusions and Relevance Cancer poses a major threat to public health worldwide, and incidence rates have increased in most countries since 1990. The trend is a particular threat to developing nations with health systems that are ill-equipped to deal with complex and expensive cancer treatments. The annual update on the Global Burden of Cancer will provide all stakeholders with timely estimates to guide policy efforts in cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and palliation.
