Cost items in melanoma patients by clinical characteristics and time from diagnosis
Buja A, Cozzolino C, Zanovello A, Geppini R, Miatton A, Zorzi M, Manfredi M, Bovo E, Del Fiore P, Tropea S, dall'Olmo L, Rossi CR, Mocellin S, Rastrelli M, Rugge M. Front Oncol. 2023 Nov 8;13:1234931. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1234931. eCollection 2023. Abstract Background: Costs related to the care of melanoma patients have been rising over the past few years due to increased disease incidence as well as the introduction of innovative treatments. The aim of this study is to analyse CMM cost items based on stage at diagnosis, together with other diagnostic and prognostic characteristics of the...
Sex Differences in Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Incidence, Clinicopathological Profile, Survival, and Costs
Buja A, Rugge M, Tropea S, Cozzolino C, Formaro CM, Grotto G, Zorzi M, Vecchiato A, Del Fiore P, Brunello A, Sbaraglia M, Ferroni E, Rossi CR, Dei Tos AP, Mocellin S. J Womens Health (Larchmt). 2023 Nov;32(11):1257-1264. doi: 10.1089/jwh.2023.0019. Epub 2023 Oct 11. Abstract Background: There are evident sex differences in the incidence of and mortality rates for several tumors. Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) account for no more than 1% of all malignancies in adults. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the sex differences in the epidemiology of STSs and the related costs....
Acceptability of deferring the start of cervical cancer screening to age 30 for women vaccinated against human papillomavirus
Martello G, Gori S, Frayle H, Franceschi S, Zorzi M, Del Mistro A. Prev Med Rep. 2023 Sep 22;36:102438. doi: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2023.102438. eCollection 2023 Dec. Abstract HPV vaccination of girls younger than 15 is very effective in reducing their risk of cervical cancer. In Italy, for vaccinated women, the starting age for cervical cancer screening is set to change from 25 to 30. Adherence to a protocol change is crucial to assure efficacy. The aim of our study was to monitor women's reaction to the change and learn about their attitudes. In September 2022, an anonymous online questionnaire...
Projecting cancer prevalence by phase of care: a methodological approach for health service planning
Francisci S, Tursini F, Dal Maso L, Gigli A, Guzzinati S. Front Oncol. 2023 Aug 30;13:1201464. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1201464. eCollection 2023. Abstract Background: In most developed countries, the number of cancer survivors is expected to increase in the coming decades because of rising incidence and survival rates and an aging population. These patients are heterogeneous in terms of health service demands: from recently diagnosed patients requiring first-course therapy to patients with extensive care needs and severe disabilities to long-term survivors who only need minimal care....
Cancer and Pregnancy: Estimates in Italy from Record-Linkage Procedures between Cancer Registries and the Hospital Discharge Database.
Pierannunzio D, Maraschini A, Lopez T, Donati S, Amodio R, Bianconi F, Bruni R, Castaing M, Cirilli C, Fantaci G, Guarda L, Iacovacci S, Mangone L, Mazzoleni G, Mazzucco W, Melcarne A, Merlo E, Parazzini F, Peccatori FA, Rugge M, Sampietro G, Scambia G, Scarfone G, Sferrazza A, Stracci F, Torrisi A, Vitale MF, Francisci S. Cancers (Basel). 2023 Aug 28;15(17):4305. doi: 10.3390/cancers15174305. Abstract The aim of this study is to describe the frequency and trend of pregnancy-associated cancer (PAC) in Italy, an increasingly relevant phenomenon due to postponing age at childbirth. To this...
Cancer data quality and harmonization in Europe: the experience of the BENCHISTA Project – international benchmarking of childhood cancer survival by stage
Lopez-Cortes A, Didonè F, Botta L, Hjalgrim LL, Jakab Z, Canete Nieto A, Stiller C, Zeller B, Gatta G, Pritchard-Jones K; BENCHISTA Project Working Group. Front Oncol. 2023 Aug 22;13:1232451. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1232451. eCollection 2023. Abstract Introduction: Variation in stage at diagnosis of childhood cancers (CC) may explain differences in survival rates observed across geographical regions. The BENCHISTA project aims to understand these differences and to encourage the application of the Toronto Staging Guidelines (TG) by Population-Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) to the most common...
Indicators of clinical performance in monitoring soft tissue sarcoma management: a population-based perspective.
Rugge M, Buja A, Tropea S, Girardi G, Cozzolino C, Zorzi M, Vecchiato A, Stefano A, Del Fiore P, Brunello A, Brazzale A, Sbaraglia M, Dei Tos AP, Baldo V, Benini P, Bortolami A, Rastrelli M, Dall'Olmo L, Rossi CR, Mocellin S. Front Med (Lausanne). 2023 Aug 8;10:1226090.doi: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1226090. eCollection 2023. Abstract Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignancies which prognosis varies significantly by primary site, histological subtype, and tumor stage. Their low incidence, and the complexity of their clinico-pathological characteristics demand standardized,...
Synchronous and metachronous multiple primary cancers in melanoma survivors: a gender perspective
Guzzinati S, Buja A, Grotto G, Zorzi M, Manfredi M, Bovo E, Del Fiore P, Tropea S, Dall'Olmo L, Rossi CR, Mocellin S, Rugge M. Front Public Health. 2023 Jun 16;11:1195458. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1195458. eCollection 2023. Abstract Background: Long-term survivors of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) risk subsequent malignancies due to both host-related and environmental risk factors. This retrospective population-based study differentially assesses the risk of synchronous and metachronous cancers in a cohort of CMM survivors stratified by sex. Methods: The cohort study (1999-2018) included...
