Cutaneous Melanoma in Alpine Population: Incidence Trends and Clinicopathological Profile.
Buja A, Rugge M, De Luca G, Bovo E, Zorzi M, De Toni C, Cozzolino C, Vecchiato A, Del Fiore P, Spina R, Cinquetti S, Baldo V, Rossi CR, Mocellin S. Curr Oncol. 2022 Mar 21;29(3):2165-2173. doi: 10.3390/curroncol29030175. Abstract Previous studies associated high-level exposure to ultraviolet radiation with a greater risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). This study focuses on the changing incidence of CMM over time (from 1990 to 2017) in the Veneto region of Northeast Italy, and its Alpine area (the province of Belluno). The clinicopathological profile of CMM by residence is also...
Malignant Melanoma: Direct Costs by Clinical and Pathological Profile
Buja A, Rugge M, De Luca G, Zorzi M, De Toni C, Cozzolino C, Vecchiato A, Del Fiore P, Tropea S, Spina R, Baldo V, Rossi CR, Mocellin S. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb). 2022 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s13555-022-00715-z. Online ahead of print. Abstract Introduction: A number of studies have examined the impact of tumor stage on direct health care costs of patients with melanoma. This study aimed to investigate the association between the direct costs for melanoma and the patients' clinical and histological characteristics. Methods: The present analysis included 1368 patients diagnosed with melanoma in...
Cancer screening programmes in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic: an update of a nationwide survey on activity volumes and delayed diagnoses
Battisti F, Falini P, Gorini G, Sassoli de Bianchi P, Armaroli P, Giubilato P, Giorgi Rossi P, Zorzi M, Battagello J, Senore C, Zappa M, Mantellini P. Ann Ist Super Sanita. 2022 Jan-Mar;58(1):16-24. doi: 10.4415/ANN_22_01_03. Abstract Introduction: In Italy, regional governments are in charge of implementing cervical, breast and colorectal cancer screening programmes. The 2020 Coronavirus pandemic led to a national lockdown and the temporary suspension of several non-urgent healthcare activities, including cancer screening. This paper aims to describe the results of a national survey...
Impact of Wide Local Excision on Melanoma Patient Survival: A Population-Based Study
Buja A, Rugge M, Damiani G, De Luca G, Zorzi M, Fusinato R, De Toni C, Vecchiato A, Del Fiore P, Falasco F, Spina R, Rossi CR, Mocellin S. Front Public Health. 2022 Mar 31;10:806934. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.806934. eCollection 2022. Abstract Introduction: Promoting standardization and quality assurance (QA) in oncology on the strength of real-world data is essential to ensure better patient outcomes. Wide excision after primary tumor biopsy is a fundamental step in the therapeutic pathway for cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). The aim of this population-based cohort study is to assess...

Late Mortality, Subsequent Malignant Neoplasms and Hospitalisations in Long-Term Survivors of Adolescent and Young Adult Hematological Cancers.
Trama A, Vener C, Lasalvia P, Bernasconi A; Ada Working Group. Front Oncol. 2022 Feb 25;12:823115. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2022.823115. eCollection 2022. Abstract Background: Increased success in the treatment of hematological cancers contributed to the increase of 5-year survival for most adolescent and young adults (AYAs) with these tumours. However, as 5-year survival increased, it became clear that AYA long-term survivors were at increased risk for severe late effects. Moreover, limited information on long-term cancer impact is available for AYAs, since most studies focused on children and...
Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in cancer versus non-cancer-patients: A population-based study in northeastern Italy
Rugge M, Zorzi M, Guzzinati S, Stocco C, Avossa F, Del Zotto S, Clagnan E, Bricca L, Dal Maso L, Serraino D. Tumori. 2022 Feb 8:3008916211073771. doi: 10.1177/03008916211073771. Online ahead of print. Abstract Introduction: This study assesses the risk of infection and clinical outcomes in a large consecutive population of cancer and non-cancer patients tested for SARS-CoV-2 status. Methods: Study patients underwent SARS-CoV-2 molecular-testing between 22 February 2020 and 31 July 2020, and were found infected (CoV2+ve) or uninfected. History of malignancy was obtained from regional...
