Impact of colorectal cancer screening on incidence, mortality and surgery rates: Evidences from programs based on the fecal immunochemical test in Italy.
Zorzi M, Urso EDL. Dig Liver Dis. 2022 Aug 20:S1590-8658(22)00633-8. doi: 10.1016/j.dld.2022.08.013. Online ahead of print. Abstract Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are among the most commonly used tests for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs worldwide. However, no randomised controlled trials have been carried out evaluating the impact of FIT-based screening programs (FIT-progr) on CRC incidence and mortality rates. Italian FIT-progr represent one of the most widespread and established experience worldwide. This paper reviews the evidence on the impact of FIT-progr on CRC...
Clinical performance indicators for monitoring the management of cutaneous melanoma: a population-based perspective
Buja A, Rugge M, De Luca G, Zorzi M, Cozzolino C, Vecchiato A, Del Fiore P, Tropea S, Bortolami A, Benini P, Rossi CR, Mocellin S. Melanoma Res. 2022 Oct 1;32(5):353-359. doi: 10.1097/CMR.0000000000000841. Epub 2022 Jul 19. Abstract The prognosis of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is based on disease progression. The highly heterogeneous clinical-pathological characteristics of CMM necessitate standardized diagnostic and therapeutic interventions tailored to cancer's stage. This study utilizes clinical performance indicators to assess the quality of CMM care in Veneto (Northeast Italy)....
Direct Costs of Care for Adults with Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Population-Based Study
Rugge M, Buja A, Tropea S, Girardi G, Franzese LC, Cozzolino C, Zorzi M, Vecchiato A, Del Fiore P, Brunello A, Brazzale AR, Baldo V, Dei Tos AP, Rossi CR, Mocellin S.

Giorgi Rossi P, Ronco G, Mancuso P, Carozzi F, Allia E, Bisanzi S, Gillio-Tos A, De Marco L, Rizzolo R, Gustinucci D, Del Mistro A, Frayle H, Confortini M, Iossa A, Cesarini E, Bulletti S, Passamonti B, Gori S, Toniolo L, Barca A, Bonvicini L, Venturelli F, Benevolo M; NTCC2 Working Group. Int J Cancer. 2022 May 17. doi: 10.1002/ijc.34120. Online ahead of print. Abstract As the primary screening test, E6/E7 mRNA has shown similar sensitivity for CIN3+ and lower positivity rate than the HPV DNA test. Nevertheless, the overall mRNA positivity is too high for immediate colposcopy, making a...
Use of Routine Health Datasets to Assess the Appropriateness of Diagnostic Tests in the Follow-Up of Breast Cancer Patients: A Population-Based Study on 3930 Patients
Gion M, Cardinali G, Guzzinati S, Morandi P, Trevisiol C, Fabricio ASC, Rugge M, Zorzi M Risk Management and Healthcare Policy 2022, 15:1087-1100 Abstract Purpose: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) recommend against intensive follow-up in asymptomatic women with breast cancer(BC). The present study assessed the adherence to CPGs of diagnostic tests ordering during BC follow-up by exploring routinelycollected health data through an algorithm developed to distinguish patients according to their status at follow-up.Patients and Methods: A retrospective population-based cohort study was...
