Aim: Real-life estimations of survival by stage in colorectal cancer are scanty. We estimated population-based net survival by pathological stage and location, and for rectal cancer by patterns of evolution according to clinical and pathological stage with regard to neoadjuvant therapy.
Method: Age-standardized net survival was estimated on 19,630 colorectal cancers diagnosed between 2009 and 2015.
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.
Purpose: Biological markers are crucial factors in order to differentiate female breast cancers and to determine the right therapy. This study aims at evaluating whether testing for biomarkers for female breast cancer has similar frequency and characteristics across and within countries.
Methods: Population-based cancer registries of the Association for cancer registration and epidemiology in Romance language countries (GRELL) were asked to complete a questionnaire on biomarkers testing.
