Are global cancer incidences substantially under-estimated due to under-ascertainment in elderly cancer cases?
The global cancer incidence estimate is substantially under-estimated due to under-ascertainment in elderly cases. This correction is performed mathematically; the results, however, emphasize the need for practical strategies to prevent under-ascertainment in the elderly.
Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies can be safely performed after lung and heart transplantation and in patients on the waiting list for these organs.
