    Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the number of new cancer cases attributable to diet among adults aged 30–84 years in France in 2015, where convincing or probable evidence of a causal association exists, and, in a secondary analysis, where at least limited but suggestive evidence of a causal association exists. Cancer cases attributable to diet were estimated assuming a 10-year latency period. Dietary intake data were obtained from the 2006 French National Nutrition and Health Survey. Counterfactual scenarios of dietary intake were based on dietary guidelines. Corresponding risk relation estimates were obtained from meta-analyses, cohort studies and one case–control study. Cancer incidence data were obtained from the French Network of Cancer Registries. Nationally, unfavourable dietary habits led to 16 930 new cancer cases, representing 5·4 % of all new cancer cases. Low intake of fruit and dietary fibre was the largest contributor to this burden, being responsible for 4787 and 4389 new cancer cases, respectively. If this is expanded to dietary component and cancer pairs with at least limited but suggestive evidence of a causal association, 36 049 new cancer cases, representing 11·6 % of all new cancer cases, were estimated to be attributable to diet. These findings suggest that unfavourable dietary habits lead to a substantial number of new cancer cases in France; however, there is a large degree of uncertainty as to the number of cancers attributable to diet, including through indirect mechanisms such as obesity, and therefore additional research is needed to determine how diet affects cancer risk.

    Abstract: Early death from cancer is potentially preventable. In developing countries, it is not only a human tragedy but also an economic tragedy. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the estimated number of deaths for people 15–64 years in 2018 was 262,141, with Brazil being the country with the largest number of cases in the region (38.2%). The mortality rate for cancer in Brazil was 68.7/100,000. The analysis of causes impacting premature mortality is an essential function of public health surveillance. This study aims to estimate Potential Productive Life Years of Lost (YPPLL) due to cancer from 2000 to 2016, according to the region, sex and cancer site. Methods Official data from the Brazilian government were used for the period 2000–2016 for the 15–64 age group (economically active population). For each cancer death in working-age people, potential years of productive life lost (YPPLL) were calculated as the difference between pensionable age and age at death from cancer (based on the age group mid-point). The limit considered as pensionable age was 65 years for men and 60 years for women. Results The total of cancer deaths among working-age people was 61,547 in 2000 and increased to 93,551 in 2016. The correspondent YPPLL was 717,883 and 944,565, respectively (increase of 31.6%), mostly coming from males (56.8%). Highest individual YPPLL were observed in the North and Northeast and Midwest, for both sexes. The most substantial changes observed from 2000 to 2016 in total YPPLL were for colorectal cancer, which moved from sixth to the second position nationally. Conclusions The YPPLL due to cancer is increasing in Brazil and present different patterns by sex and geographic regions. While in the South and Southeast lung cancer has the highest impact among males, in the North and Northeast most YPPLL come from stomach cancer. Among females, a clear pattern is observed with breast cancer being responsible for most YPPLL excepting in the North, where cervical cancer still having a major impact compared to other tumors.

    OP513 Disparities In Cancer Premature Mortality In Brazil: Predictions Up To 2030 And Sustainable Development Goals

    Abstract: Premature mortality affects the economy directly due to the loss of productivity of individuals who die, thus ceasing to contribute economically to the country. The one-third reduction in premature mortality (30–69 years) from chronic noncommunicable diseases is goal 3.4 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG). Although cancer is a chronic disease, it comprises more than 100 different conditions, with different risk factors and prognosis. This study aimed to calculate current and predicted premature mortality by 2030 for Brazil and regions, compared with the SDG 3.4 target and identify regional progress and future needs. Methods Mortality data were extracted from the National Mortality Information System of Brazil (SIM) and subsequently corrected for ill-defined causes. Crude and age-standardized mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants were calculated. NordPred package by software R was used to calculate predictions up to 2030 and compared with the goal of one-third reduction of premature deaths. Results Comparison of observed (2011–2015) and predicted (2026–2030) mortality rates show a 12.0% reduction in the likelihood of death among men and 4.6 percent among women nationally. Although predicted rates for 2026–2030 are lower than those observed in 2011–2015, the predicted number of deaths increases by 75,341 for men and 90,513 for women. Lung cancer mortality rates are predicted to decrease more among men than women, while colorectal cancer mortality will increase for both sexes. Conclusions The profile of cancer premature mortality is diverse in Brazil. Nationally, only male lung cancer will be close to reaching the SDG 3.4 target, endorsing the government's long-term efforts to reduce tobacco consumption. Colorectal cancer mortality increases in most regions, reflecting the epidemiological transition. Despite progress in cervical cancer control, it will continue to be a major challenge, especially in the North and Northeast. Our results provide a baseline for public policies for both prevention and access to treatment to reduce premature mortality in Brazil. Differences in cancer patterns show the need to plan and to adapt regionally for each reality.
