    Abstract Background: An increasing trend in incidence of vestibular schwannomas (VS) has been reported, though not consistently, across populations.  Materials and methods: We obtained data from the Finnish Cancer Registry on 1,149 VS cases diagnosed in 1990-2017 with tabular data up to 2022. We calculated age-standardised incidence rates (ASR) overall, by sex, and for 10-year age groups. We analysed time trends using Poisson and joinpoint regression.
    Results: The average ASR of VS in Finland during 1990-2017 was 8.6/1,000,000 person-years for women and 7.5/1,000,000 for men. A declining trend was found with an average annual percent change of -1.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.8%, -0.6%) for women, -2.2% (95% CI: -3.6%, -0.7%) for men, and -1.9% (95% CI: -2.9%, -1.0%) for both sexes combined. The ASR in women was 11.6/1,000,000 person-years in 1990 and it decreased to 8.2/1,000,000 by 2017. Correspondingly, the incidence in men was 7.1/1,000,000 in 1990 and decreased to 5.1/1,000,000 by 2017. Some decline in incidence over time was found in all age groups below 80 years, but the decline (2.3-3.1% per year) was statistically significant only in age groups 40-49, 50-59, and 60-69 years. In the oldest age group (80+ years), the incidence of VS increased by 16% per year. For 2018-2022, the ASR was 7.6/1,000,000 for both sexes combined, with a decline by -1.7% (95% CI: -2.3%, -1.2%) annually for the entire period 1990-2022.
    Conclusion: In contrast to the increasing incidence reported in some studies, we found a decreasing trend in VS incidence for both sexes in Finland.

    Abstract Background: Cancer registries in Nigeria, as well as in other sub-Saharan African countries, face challenges in adhering to international cancer registration standards. We aimed to improve cancer incidence estimation by identifying under-reporting of new cancers through matching patient-reported local government areas (LGAs) in Edo state, Nigeria, to their respective catchment populations.
    Methods: Information on cancers was obtained from records of hospitals, medical clinics, pathology laboratories, and death certificates according to IARC guidelines. We utilized normalized scores to establish consistency in the number of cancers by calendar time, and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) to assess the variation in cancer incidence across LGAs compared to Edo state average. Subsequently, we estimated sex- and site-specific annual incidence using the average number of cancers from 2016 to 2018 and the predicted mid-year population in three LGAs. Age-standardization was performed using the direct method with the World Standard Population of 1966.
    Results: The number of incident cancers consistent between 2016-2018 in Egor, Oredo, and Uhunmwonde showed a significantly increased SIR. From 2016 to 2018 in these three LGAs, 1,045 new cancers were reported, with 453 (42.4%) in males and 592 (57.6%) in females. The average annual age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) was 50.6 (95% CI: 45.2 - 56.6) per 10
    Conclusions: We found lower age-standardized incidence rates than those reported earlier for the Edo state population. Collecting information on the local government areas of the cancers allows better matching with the respective target population. We recommend using LGA information to improve the evaluation of population-based cancer incidence in sub-Saharan countries.

    Abstract Context: Observational studies have shown conflicting results as to whether exposure to neonatal phototherapy is associated with increased rates of childhood cancer.
    Objective: To describe the rates of childhood neoplasms and cancer after neonatal phototherapy.
    Data sources: The CENTRAL, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases.
    Study selection: Observational studies regardless of design were included.
    Data extraction: The data were extracted by one author and validated by another. The risk-of-bias assessment was performed using the ROBINS-E and Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools.
    Results: Six cohort and 10 case-control studies were included. The overall risk of bias was high in seven and low in nine studies. In cohort studies, the odds ratio (OR) was increased for hematopoietic cancer (1.44; confidence interval [CI]: 1.16-1.80) and solid tumors (OR: 1.18; CI: 1.00-1.40). In case-control studies, the OR was 1.63 (CI: 0.99-2.67) for hematopoietic cancers and 1.18 (CI: 1.04-1.34) for solid tumors.
    Conclusions: Children with a history of neonatal phototherapy had increased risk of hematopoietic cancer and solid tumors. The evidence quality was limited due to the high risk of bias and potential residual confounding.
    Impact statement: Exposure to neonatal phototherapy increased later risk of hematopoietic cancer and solid tumors. This is the most comprehensive study on the association between phototherapy and cancer, but the evidence quality was limited due risk of bias and residual confounding. Future large scale well conducted studies are still needed to better estimate the association and.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus and cancer are both common health issues, but the correlation between these two diseases remains unclear. We investigated the association of cumulative exposure of diabetes mellitus as an indication of hyperglycemia in terms of disease duration on multiple cancer types. We hypothesized that the risk of cancer would increase over time after the onset of diabetes. The study population consisted of a population-based cohort of 398,708 people and it was constructed from the Finnish CARING project. The Diabetes group consisted of 185,258 individuals, and the non-diabetic reference group comprised 187,921 individuals. Over 4.1 million person-years were accumulated, and the median follow-up time was 10.55 years. In the diabetes group, 25,899 cancer cases were observed compared with 23,900 cancers in the non-diabetic group. We did not find a clear relationship between the duration of diabetes mellitus and most cancer types examined. However, for cancers of the pancreas, prostate gland, bronchus, and lungs, a temporal relationship was found. Furthermore, even within the cancer types where the relationship was detected, it did not change over time. These findings indicate that diabetes does not independently increase the risk of cancer. Instead, the development of diabetes may be attributed to shared risk factors with cancer, such as obesity and/or insulin resistance accompanied by hyperinsulinemia. Thus, it is likely that the clock for increased cancer risk starts ticking already before onset of diabetes and hyperglycemia.

    Abstract Background: Meningiomas are the most common primary neoplasm of the central nervous system. Previous research on the incidence of meningioma in Finland showed an increase in the age-standardized incidence rate over three decades (1968-1997). In this study, we analysed meningioma incidence in Finland during 1990-2017.
    Materials and methods: Data on 9842 meningioma patients were obtained from the Finnish Cancer Registry, and population size by calendar year, sex, and age group from Statistics Finland. The European Standard Population was used to calculate age-standardized incidence rates. Poisson regression was used to evaluate differences by sex and age, and joinpoint regression to examine changes in trend.
    Results: At the beginning of the study period, the age-standardized incidence of meningioma for men was 2.35/100,000 and for women 6.96/100,000. In the end, it was 4.09/100,000 and 10.19/100,000, respectively. The annual percent change (APC) for women was +4.6 (95% confidence interval, CI 3.10 to 6.20) from 1990 to 2001 and -1.0 (95% CI -1.70 to -0.30) from 2001 to 2017. For men, the APC was +3.1 (95% CI 0.80-5.40) during 1990-2002 and -0.9 (95% CI -2.10 to 0.30) in 2002-2017. The incidence of meningioma in women was 2.8 times higher than in men (rate ratio 2.81; 95% CI 2.68-2.94).
    Conclusions: Meningioma incidence increased in both sexes from 1990, but the trend reversed in 2001-2002. Medical imaging or risk factors do not appear to explain the changes.

    Abstract Introduction: Evidence on the effectiveness of prostate cancer screening based on prostate-specific antigen is inconclusive and suggests a questionable balance between benefits and harms due to overdiagnosis, and complications from biopsies and overtreatment. However, diagnostic accuracy studies have shown that detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer can be reduced by MRI combined with targeted biopsies.The aim of the paper is to describe the analysis of the ProScreen randomised trial to assess the performance of the novel screening algorithm in terms of the primary outcome, prostate cancer mortality and secondary outcomes as intermediate indicators of screening benefits and harms of screening.
    Methods: The trial aims to recruit at least 111 000 men to achieve sufficient statistical power for the primary outcome. Men will be allocated in a 1:3 ratio to the screening and control arms. Interim analysis is planned at 10 years of follow-up, and the final analysis at 15 years. Difference between the trial arms in prostate cancer mortality will be assessed by Gray's test using intention-to-screen analysis of randomised men. Secondary outcomes will be the incidence of prostate cancer by disease aggressiveness, progression to advanced prostate cancer, death due to any cause and cost-effectiveness of screening.
    Ethics and dissemination: The trial protocol was reviewed by the ethical committee of the Helsinki University Hospital (2910/2017). Results will be disseminated through publications in international peer-reviewed journals and at scientific meetings.
