Purpose
To investigate the 5-year conditional relative survival and competing mortality in surgically treated patients with localized and regional kidney cancer.
Materials and Methods
Using a nationwide population-based database, the Korea Clinical Data Utilization Network for Research Excellence, conditional relative survival conditioned on 1 to 3 years of survival after diagnosis was measured. These rates were stratified by age, sex, socioeconomic status, comorbidities, and treatment received. Cause of death and estimated cause-specific mortality were also described and considered with competing risks.
Results
This study included a total of 19,749 newly diagnosed patients with kidney cancer who underwent surgical treatment from 2013 to 2019. The baseline conditional relative survival rates for the entire cohort, patients with localized disease, and patients with regional disease were 97.2%, 99.4%, and 82.6%, respectively. After one year, these rates increased to 99.4%, 100.0%, and 95.3%, respectively. Patients who underwent surgery only had the highest baseline conditional relative survival rates (99.3%) compared with those who received surgery with radiotherapy (74.0%), with chemotherapy (38.9%), and with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (16.2%). Specifically, patients who underwent robotic surgery or partial nephrectomy showed higher baseline conditional relative survival rates (>100%) than others. Furthermore, kidney cancer was the leading cause of death (49.6%), followed by other types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Over time, kidney cancer-specific mortality decreased.
Conclusion
Conditional survival after surgery for localized or regional kidney cancer was high and improved over time. These findings indicate that long-term prognosis varies by stage and patient characteristics and should inform postoperative surveillance.
Purpose Helicobacter pylori is the single most important risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). However, H. pylori eradication (HPE) does not eliminate risk of GC.
To clarify the association of lifestyle factors with GC risk after HPE.
Materials and Methods
Using the Korean National Health Insurance Services (NHIS) database, adult individuals who claimed HPE between 2010 and 2016 were analyzed. The adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for GC were analyzed according to the lifestyle status including smoking (never; light [<10PY]; moderate [10-20PY]; heavy [≥20PY]), alcohol (none; mild [<30g/day]; heavy [30g/day]), and abdominal obesity by using Cox proportional hazard model.
Results
During a median follow-up period of 6.7 years, 9,754 individuals were newly diagnosed with GC among the total of 1,282,702 subjects. Compared with never smokers, moderate (aHR, 1.12 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04 to 1.20]) and heavy smokers (1.34 [95% CI, 1.27 to 1.42]) had greater risks of post-HPE GC with dose-response manner. Heavy drinkers had increased risk of GC (1.23 [95% CI, 1.15 to 1.32]) compared with non-drinkers, and those with abdominal obesity had slightly elevated GC risk compared with those without that (1.11 [95% CI, 1.06 to 1.15]). In subgroup analyses, those who had HPE at age ≥ 55 were shown to be more affected by the unhealthy lifestyles (smoking [p-for-interaction < 0.001], alcohol [0.019], and abdominal obesity [0.024]). Also, male showed greater risk increase by smoking habit (p-for-interaction=0.022) than female.
Conclusion
Unhealthy lifestyles like smoking, alcohol, and abdominal obesity were shown as risk factors for post-HPE GC. Those with late HPE were more likely to be affected by unhealthy lifestyles.
Purpose
Previous studies from mostly Western populations have suggested possible associations between obesity and melanoma risk. This study aimed to investigate associations between obesity status and melanoma using a nationwide cohort of Koreans.
Materials and Methods
A total of 4,441,403 adults who received a national health examination in 2012 were included from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, and followed until December 31, 2022. Obesity status was defined based on the body mass index at the baseline health examination. Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to evaluate associations between obesity status and incident melanoma, with adjustment for confounders. Stratified analyses were performed by sex and menopausal status (in women).
Results
Overall, melanoma risk increased according to obesity status (p for trend=0.024); adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for melanoma risk were 0.766 (0.438–1.340) in underweight; 1.292 (1.072–1.557) in overweight; 1.202 (1.002–1.442) in obesity; and 1.191 (0.798–1.778) in severe obesity compared to normal weight (reference). In stratified analyses, similar trends to those of the overall study population were observed among men and premenopausal women (p for trend=0.052 in men and 0.036 in premenopausal women). Among premenopausal women, the risk of melanoma increased linearly with obesity status. Meanwhile, among postmenopausal women, melanoma risk showed no significant difference or trend according to obesity status.
Conclusion
Overweight and obesity were associated with increased risk of melanoma in a population-based cohort of Koreans. Obese individuals, especially men and premenopausal women, may require more thorough prevention and screening strategies for melanoma.

Purpose
Previous studies suggested an association between alcohol consumption and reduced kidney cancer risk. Given a potential interaction between alcohol’s insulin-sensitizing effect and hyperglycemia-related insulin resistance, we aimed to assess whether the dose-response association between alcohol intake and kidney cancer risk varies based on glycemic status.
Materials and Methods
This nationwide cohort study analyzed data from 9,492,331 adults who underwent a national health screening program in 2009 and were followed until 2018. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models were applied to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results
Over a median follow-up period of 8.3 years, 12,381 participants were diagnosed with kidney cancer. A U-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and kidney cancer risk was observed among individuals with normoglycemia (light-to-moderate: HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.89 to 0.99 and heavy: HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.09, respectively). In prediabetic individuals, alcohol consumption was not significantly associated with kidney cancer risk. In individuals with diabetes, a dose-dependent increase in kidney cancer risk was noted with higher alcohol consumption (light-to-moderate consumption: HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.22; heavy consumption: HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.42; p for trend < 0.01).
Conclusion
A modest U-shaped dose-response association between alcohol consumption and kidney cancer risk was observed exclusively in individuals with normoglycemia. Individuals with diabetes demonstrated a dose-dependent increased risk of kidney cancer with higher alcohol consumption. Tailored patient education and personalized risk assessments regarding alcohol consumption and kidney cancer risk should be emphasized over a generalized ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.

Purpose Widely used breast cancer risk-prediction tools are based on data from Western countries, but risk factors may differ for Asian women. Hence, we aimed to develop a risk assessment tool for breast cancer in Asian women using a nationwide, population-based mammographic screening cohort.
Materials and Methods Women aged ≥ 40 years who underwent breast cancer screening and general health examination in 2009 were included. Age, body mass index (BMI), breast density, lifestyle and reproductive factors, and comorbidities were used to develop 5-year breast cancer risk-prediction models for premenopausal (n=771,856) and postmenopausal (n=1,108,047) women at baseline. The best-fit risk prediction model was constructed using backward stepwise selection in a Cox proportional hazards model and was transformed into a risk score nomogram. The performance was assessed by discrimination and calibration.
Results In premenopausal women, high BMI, low parity, short breastfeeding period, early age at menarche, high breast density, a history of benign breast masses, and family history of breast cancer contributed to the risk prediction of breast cancer. In postmenopausal women, age, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, late-onset menopause, and hormone replacement therapy use were additional risk predictors of breast cancer. Our risk-prediction model showed a concordant statistic of 0.58 (0.57-0.59) for premenopausal women and 0.64 (0.63-0.65) for postmenopausal women. The calibration plot demonstrated good correlations for both models.
Conclusion Our breast cancer risk-prediction model demonstrated performance comparable to that of Western countries, especially among postmenopausal women. This provides a foundation for implementing risk-based screening recommendations in Asian women.
Purpose Cancer survivors are at increased risk of diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, the prevalence of obesity, which is also a risk factor for DM, is increasing in cancer survivors. We investigated the associations between weight change after cancer diagnosis and DM risk.
Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study used data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service. Participants who were newly diagnosed with cancer from 2010 to 2016 and received national health screening before and after diagnosis were included and followed until 2019. Weight change status after cancer diagnosis was categorized into four groups: sustained normal weight, obese to normal weight, normal weight to obese, or sustained obese. Cox proportional hazard analyses were performed to examine associations between weight change and DM.
Results The study population comprised 264,250 cancer survivors. DM risk was highest in sustained obese (adjusted hazard ratios [aHR], 2.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.08 to 2.26), followed by normal weight to obese (aHR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.54 to 1.79), obese to normal weight (aHR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.39), and then sustained normal weight group (reference). In subgroup analyses according to cancer type, most cancers showed the highest risks in sustained obese group.
Conclusion Obesity at any time point was related to increased DM risk, presenting the highest risk in cancer survivors with sustained obesity. Survivors who changed from obese to normal weight had lower risk than survivors with sustained obesity. Survivors who changed from normal weight to obese showed increased risk compared to those who sustained normal weight. Our finding supports the significance of weight management among cancer survivors.

Purpose
The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EoCRC) is increasing worldwide. The association between hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and EoCRC risk remains unclear.
Materials and Methods
We conducted a nationwide cohort study of 3,340,635 individuals aged 20-49 years who underwent health checkups between 2009 and 2011 under the Korean National Health Insurance Service. HTG was defined as serum triglyceride (TG) level ≥ 150 mg/dL. According to the change in TG status, participants were categorized into persistent normotriglyceridemia (NTG; group 1), NTG to HTG (group 2), HTG to NTG (group 3), and persistent HTG (group 4) groups. The EoCRC incidence was followed up until 2019.
Results
In total, 7,492 EoCRC cases developed after a mean of 6.05 years of follow-up. Group 4 had the highest risk of EoCRC (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.097; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.025 to 1.174). While the risk of rectal cancer was significantly increased in groups 3 and 4 (aHR [95% CI], 1.236 [1.076 to 1.419] and 1.175 [1.042-1.325], respectively), no significant risk differences were observed in right colon cancer. In group 4, male sex and diabetes were associated with a further increased risk of EoCRC (aHR [95% CI], 1.149 [1.082 to 1.221] and 1.409 [1.169 to 1.699], respectively). In addition, there was a dose-response relationship between serum TG levels and the risk of EoCRC (p for trends < 0.0001).
Conclusion
Persistent HTG increased the risk of EoCRC, which was significantly higher only for rectal cancer and marginally higher for other colonic subsites.

Purpose
While renal impairment is one of the first clinical manifestations of multiple myeloma (MM), declined renal function may conversely be a risk factor for cancers including MM. In this study, we investigated the relationship between chronic kidney disease and MM at a population level.
Materials and Methods
A total of 9,809,376 adults who participated in a nationwide health screening program and had no MM, cancer or end-stage renal disease at baseline were investigated for incidence of MM. The impact of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and random urine dipstick proteinuria, and interactive associations of the two factors on the MM incidence were evaluated.
Results
The general incidence of MM was 4.8 per 100,000 person-years (mean follow-up of 8.3 years). Participants with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (5.8% of participants) had higher MM incidence than those with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.17 to 1.43). When eGFR was graded into five levels, there was a significant inverse dose-response relationship between eGFR level and MM incidence at the lower eGFR levels (reference: eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2). A dose-response relationship was also found with degree of dipstick proteinuria and incidence of MM.
Conclusion
Adults with decreased renal function indicated either by decreased eGFR or presence of proteinuria are at a higher risk of developing MM compared to those without, and there is a dose-response relationship between the severity of renal impairment and MM incidence.

Purpose
Implementation of screening program may lead to increased health disparity within the population if participation differs by socioeconomic status. In Korea, colorectal cancer screening is provided at no or minimal cost to all people over 50 by National Cancer Screening Program. We investigated colorectal cancer screening participation rate and its trend over the last 10 years in relation to disabilities.
Materials and Methods
We linked national disability registration data with National Cancer Screening Program data. Age, sex-standardized participation rates were analyzed by type and severity of disability for each year, and factors associated with colorectal cancer screening participation were examined by multivariate logistic regression.
Results
Age, sex-standardized participation rate in people without disability increased from 16.2 to 33.9% (change, +17.7), but it increased from 12.7% to 27.2% (change, +14.5) among people with severe disability. People with severe disabilities showed a markedly lower colorectal cancer screening participation rate than people without disability (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.714; 95% confidence interval, 0.713 to 0.720). People with autism (aOR, 0.468), renal failure (aOR, 0.498), brain injury (aOR, 0.581), ostomy (aOR, 0.602), and intellectual disability (aOR, 0.610) showed the lowest participation rates.
Conclusion
Despite the availability of a National Cancer Screening Program and overall increase of its usage in the Korean population, a significant disparity was found in colorectal cancer screening participation, especially in people with severe disabilities and or several specific types of disabilities. Greater effort is needed to identify the barriers faced by these particularly vulnerable groups and develop targeted interventions to reduce inequality.
