Objectives: Concurrence of pregnancy and cancer diagnosis is increasingly frequent in Italy. The study aimed to compare women with pregnancy-associated cancers (PACs) to those of childbearing age, focusing on fertility, induced abortion, and miscarriage.
Methods: The population-based study included women aged 15-49 years, both with and without PAC, who were residents in the area covered by the 19 participating Cancer Registries between 2003 and 2015 and identified by individual deterministic linkage with the Hospital Discharge Database.
Introduction: The increasing survival of patients with breast cancer has prompted the assessment of mortality due to all causes of death in these patients. We estimated the absolute risks of death from different causes, useful for health-care planning and clinical prediction, as well as cause-specific hazards, useful for hypothesis generation on etiology and risk factors.
Materials And Methods: Using data from population-based cancer registries we performed a retrospective study on a cohort of women diagnosed with primary breast cancer.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prevalence and trends of pregnancy-associated cancer (PAC) in Italy, highlighting the growing concern as more women delay childbirth.
- - Utilizing data from 19 cancer registries covering 22% of the population, the research analyzed over 2.8 million pregnancies, identifying 3,559 cases of PAC with breast, thyroid, and melanoma cancers being the most common types.
- - Findings indicate a rising trend of PAC from 2003 to 2015, with 53.1% of cases resulting in delivery, emphasizing a shift in clinical practices for managing cancer during pregnancy, providing crucial insights for healthcare providers.
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.
The literature concerning the neurocognitive evolution of children with transfusion-transfusion syndrome (TTS) is poor beyond the first year of life. It is therefore of particular interest to trace the developmental and management pathway, from the age of 18 months to 11 years, of a boy who presented with TTS in utero. This example illustrates the benefit of early multidisciplinary support and the diagnostic issues raised with the development of the child.
