Purpose Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of
cancer mortality worldwide. Incidence rates are increasing in the
United States. Monitoring incidence, survival, and mortality rates
within at-risk populations can facilitate control efforts.
Methods Age-adjusted incidence trends for HCC were examined in the
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries from
1975 to 2005. Age-specific rates were examined for birth cohorts born
between 1900 and 1959. Age-adjusted incidence and cause-specific
survival rates from 1992 to 2005 were examined in the SEER 13
registries by race/ethnicity, stage, and treatment. United States
liver cancer mortality rates were also examined.
Results Age-adjusted HCC incidence rates tripled between 1975 and
2005. Incidence rates increased in each 10-year birth cohort from 1900
through the 1950s. Asians/Pacific Islanders had higher incidence and
mortality rates than other racial/ethnic groups, but experienced a
significant decrease in mortality rates over time. From 2000 to 2005,
marked increases in incidence rates occurred among Hispanic, black,
and white middle-aged men. Between 1992 and 2004, 2- to 4-year HCC
survival rates doubled, as more patients were diagnosed with localized
and regional HCC and prognosis improved, particularly for patients
with reported treatment. Recent 1-year survival rates remained,
however, less than 50%.
Conclusion HCC incidence and mortality rates continue to increase,
particularly among middle-aged black, Hispanic, and white men.
Screening of at-risk groups and treatment of localized-stage tumors
may contribute to increasing HCC survival rates in the United States.
More progress is needed.

supports)? They seem to be talking about people of certain ethnic
backgrounds living in the USA, not living in their nation of origin
and eating a "traditional" diet. Once you clarify this (if you can),
we can, perhaps, begin a reasonable discussion of the topic. If
Asians come to the USA with high iron levels, then switch over to a
typical American diet, one would assume that they would be at higher
risk for certain diseases.

They already have a high rate of lupus .. at HOME ..
You just conveniently forget I pointed that out already ..

Hawaiians have the highest rate of Staph infection .. and they TOO are
already .. home ..
You may want to say something about their Western diet having
something to do with the manifestation of their diseases ..
It is the iron .. which they have already been found to have a high
level .. OF ..

disease, not ethnic group. I posted a study on this newsgroup quite a
while ago that pointed out how rates of various "chronic disease" rose
significantly when Malaysians switched over to a "Western diet"
without leaving their nation, for example. Get your statistics, post
them (or a link), and I can then examine the evidence. The evidence
I've seen is strongly suggestive, and is also consistent with the
molecular-level evidence. What, exactly, are you trying to claim?
One would expect rates of certain disease to rise significantly from
the 1960s or 1970s, when cheap, PUFA-rich oils came to be used in
place of highly saturated fat sources, such as lard and butter. In
fact, the lard of today is much more unsaturated than it was a couple
of hundred years ago, making lard more of an "unsaturated fat" than a
"saturated one" today, at least in the USA.

trying to claim? <<
Iron causes disease ..
I think elevated iron causes disease ..
You don't understand that .. ?
One might think you already should have understood that is what I
claim ..
Asian / Pacific Islanders HAVE the highest rate of **iron** ..
The study shows they .. coincidentally .. ALSO have the highest rate
of liver cancer ..
Pretty straight forward .. pretty easy to understand ..
You can try to press your agenda .. but .. personally .. ?
Ain't interested .. there .. buddy ..

Look at the India case discussed here previously, Tom. All Indians
have high iron levels but only the South is dying from diabetes and
CHD. What makes the difference between the healthy North and the
diseased South ? Well in Northern India they eat enough meat and
still use coconut oil for cooking. On the other hand in the Southern
coastal regions they thrive on refined carbohydrates, don't eat enough
high quality protein and use a lot of vegetable oils for cooking.
Take your guesses ...

You seem to want to talk about some Indian study ..
The SAME .. study .. referred to by another .. person with an
agenda ..
I told that person to shove his .. study .. up his ass ..
Now for some reason YOU think you can bring the same study up and
NOT be told to shove it up your ass .. ?
Nope ..
Take you Indian study .. somewhere .. ELSE ..
This thread is about high iron in Asians / Pacific Islanders and their
high
rate of iron related hepatocellular carcinoma ..
NOT about diabetes ..

I haven't been impressed with your position on fatty acids in general
over time BUT this is certainly an interesting tidbit. Since I find the
arguments that the the Paleo diet is the most effective for overall
health, and given that it varies from latitude to latitude (more
protein/fat the farther north one lives (the colder and longer the
winters are) with a natural limit on calories from protein at about
35%), the variations in India make a lot of sense. If the more
southerner Indians would avoid the refined carbs and veggies oils and
return to more native traditions and natural foods (very minimally
processed and excluding grains), I suspect that the greater carb content
of the southern diet over the northern one would not be a factor in
health and longevity.
I still however think that iron is naturally too high in modern man
since ancient man most likely had more parasites and more injuries on
average from hunting etc. than modern man and most likely lost iron from
both those causes on a regular basis. This may be mitigated by the fact
that modern many tends to eat less protein and get less iron than
ancient man.

gotten old.)

Sub-sahara Africa is KNOWN to have a high level of iron excess .. IE:

Asian / Pacific Islanders have the highest rate of iron excess of
anyone ..
http://www.uptodate.com/patients/content/topic.do?topicKey=~/AyUNscJQaYRkr
"High incidence regions (more than 15 cases per 100,000 population per
year) include sub-Saharan Africa, the People's Republic of China, Hong
Kong, and Taiwan . The incidence is 24.2/100,000 in parts of Africa,
and the 35.5/100,000 seen in eastern Asia . Over 40 percent of all
cases of HCC occur in the People's Republic of China, which has an
annual incidence of 137,000 cases . Japan has one of the highest
incidence rates of HCC associated with chronic HCV infection. The
incidence appears to be decreasing in recent years .
Intermediate incidence areas include several countries in eastern and
western Europe, Thailand, Indonesia, Jamaica, Haiti, New Zealand
(Maoris), and Alaska (Eskimos) ."
