Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the role of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in breast cancer and aims to assess its potential for targeted treatments and diagnostic imaging.* -
- Researchers analyzed immunohistochemistry data from 58 breast cancer patients, finding that only a small percentage showed notable PSMA expression, particularly in non-luminal tumors.* -
- The findings suggest that low PSMA expression in many breast cancer subtypes may hinder the effectiveness of developing targeted theranostic strategies.*
Background: The impact of geographical accessibility on cancer survival has been investigated in few studies, with most research focusing on access to reference care centers, using overall mortality and limited to specific cancer sites. This study aims to examine the association of access to primary care with mortality in excess of patients with the 10 most frequent cancers in France, while controlling for socioeconomic deprivation.
Methods: This study included a total of 151,984 cases diagnosed with the 10 most common cancer sites in 21 French cancer registries between 2013 and 2015.
Purpose: Three generic claims-based algorithms based on the Illness Classification of Diseases (10th revision- ICD-10) codes, French Long-Term Illness (LTI) data, and the Diagnosis Related Group program (DRG) were developed to identify retirees with cancer using data from the French national health insurance information system (Système national des données de santé or SNDS) which covers the entire French population. The present study aimed to calculate the algorithms' performances and to describe false positives and negatives in detail.
Methods: Between 2011 and 2016, data from 7544 participants of the French retired self-employed craftsperson cohort (ESPrI) were first matched to the SNDS data, and then toFrench population-based cancer registries data, used as the gold standard.
Background: The impact of several non-clinical factors on cancer survival is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of travel time to the nearest referral center on survival of patients with cancer.
Patients And Methods: The study used data from the French Network of Cancer Registries that combines all the French population-based cancer registries.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed trends in the incidence of vaginal cancer in France over 28 years and assessed survival rates for women diagnosed recently (2010-2015).
- Data from French cancer registries showed a significant 3% annual decline in the age-standardized incidence rate of vaginal cancer from 1990 (0.4 cases per 100,000) to 2018 (0.2 cases per 100,000).
- Although vaginal cancer remains rare, with a median diagnosis age of 75 and low 5-year net survival rates (45%), the decrease in incidence is not yet clearly linked to HPV vaccination, as the disease primarily affects older women.
