Abstract: Aims and background. Although several studies have assessed cancer research performance in individual European countries, comparisons of European Union (EU27) performance with countries of similar population size are not available. Methods. We compared cancer research performance in 2000-2008 between EU27 and 11 countries with over 100 million inhabitants. Performance should not have been affected by the 2007-2009 recession. We examined 143 journals considered oncology journals by Journal Citation Reports, accessing them via Scopus. Publications were attributed to countries using a published counting procedure. Results. for number of publications, the USA held a clear lead in 2006-2008 (yearly averages: 10,293 USA vs 9,962 EU27), whereas the EU27 held the lead previously. EU27 was also second to the USA for total impact factor. China markedly improved its cancer publications record over the period. Compared to the USA, EU27 and Japan, the other countries (all developing) had a poor publications record. Conclusions. Comparative cancer research spending data are not available. However from 2002 to 2007, gross domestic expenditure on research and development (UN-ESCO data) increased by 34% in North America, 161% in China and only 28% in EU27. Thus the European Union is lagging behind North America and may well be eclipsed by China in research and development spending in the near future. We suggest that these new findings should be considered by policymakers in Europe and other countries when developing policies for cancer control.

Abstract: Aims and background. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has fluctuating pathological complete response (pCR) rates to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) according to published reports. Biomarkers predicting pCR rates of NAG would improve TNBC patients’ outcomes. We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the prognostic function of Ki-67 in relation to pCR rates of NAG in TNBC. Methods and study design. Relevant publications in the literature from January 2006 to March 2013 were selected by searching PubMed, SpringerLink, Web of Science, Scopus and the Cochrane Library. The quality of prognostic studies was evaluated according to the standard reported by Hayden et al. Relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the prognostic function of Ki-67 for pCR rates ihTNBC. The fail-safe number was used to detect possible publication bias. Review Manager and MIX software was used to merge extracted data. Results. The pCR rate of TNBC with high Ki-67 expression was 3.36 times that of low Ki-67 expression TNBC. The merged RR was 3.36 (95% CI: 1.61-7.02) and the fail-safe number was 34. No obvious publication bias but heterogeneity of the case series was deteeted. Conclusions. Ki-67 was a predictor of pCR rates to NAG in TNBC.

? Ben Abdelaziz, A., Harrabi, I., Aouf, S., Gaha, R. and Ghannem, H. (2002), Typology of Tunisian medical research Indexed in MEDLINE from 1965 to 1999. Tunisian Medical, 40 (9), 548-555.

Abstract: the medical research is a criteria of a country development and the performance of its health system. This study tried to describe the typology of the Tunisian medical research (themes, journals, types of publication, ..). It was a bibliometric and exhaustive survey of Tunisian manuscripts indexed in MEDLINE from 1965 to 1999. Among the 3673 eligible references to the study, 73% have been produced in clinic sciences. The main subjects were: Cancer, hydratic cyst and tuberculosis represented respectively 3.9%, 2.9% and 1.8% of manuscripts. 91% of articles have been published in French. 65% of articles have been published in national journals. This work showed that the medical scientific production remains globally lower in relation to the national human resources, that its social relevance is insufficient in relation to the load of morbidity and that the radiance of the Tunisian medical research would be limited by the choice of no English-writing journals. Thus, the promotion of the national medical research requires the backing of the teaching of: documentary techniques, English and written communication.
