Article Synopsis
- The study investigates survival trends in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) in Italy from 1990 to 2015, revealing stagnation in survival rates.
- Analysis of data from 38 cancer registries indicated a decrease in 1-year and 2-year net survival rates, while 5-year conditional survival showed a slight increase but was not statistically significant.
- The findings suggest that current treatment and control strategies for VSCC need to be re-evaluated in Italy and worldwide due to the lack of improvement in survival outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the trends of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma incidence among women in Italy from 1990 to 2015, focusing on two age groups.
- Results indicate a significant overall decrease in incidence, particularly among women aged 60 and above, while younger women (under 60) showed an increasing trend, especially after 2012.
- The findings contrast with trends seen in many Western countries and highlight a complex relationship between age, birth cohorts, and cancer risk over time.
