Introduction: Surgical resection is the standard recommended treatment in localized pancreatic cancer. The benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is still debated. The aim of this population-based study was to describe the pancreatic cancer surgical management.

Article Synopsis
- Vulvar Paget's Disease (VPD) is a rare skin cancer with good outcomes but high recurrence rates, affecting patients' quality of life.
- A study conducted in Franche Comté examined data from 21 patients diagnosed with VPD over 40 years, revealing that many experienced a delayed diagnosis and had a significant likelihood of recurrence, especially after surgical treatment.
- The use of postoperative adjuvant therapies notably improved patients' chances of remaining free from recurrence, highlighting the importance of thorough follow-up care.
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.
Context And Aims: Eribulin is used in taxane and anthracycline refractory HER2-negative metastatic breast cancers (MBC). Patients treated in pivotal clinical trials achieved low survival rates, therefore, the identification of prognostic criteria for long progression-free survival (PFS) is still an unmet medical need. In this study, we sought to determine potential prognostic criteria for long-term eribulin response in HER2-negative MBC.

- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in people with fair skin but is often underreported, leading to a lack of incidence data globally.* -
- This study analyzed BCC incidence rates in two French regions, Doubs and Haut-Rhin, revealing significant increases from 1980 to 2019, with higher rates among men and older adults.* -
- While the overall rates are still rising, the study notes a slowdown in the growth of BCC incidents post-2000, suggesting changes in BCC management practices.*
