Smoking is a major preventable cause of cancers and is increasingly concentrated among the most deprived individuals leading to increasing socioeconomic inequalities in the incidence of cancers linked to smoking. We aimed to estimate the tobacco-attributable cancer burden according to socioeconomic position in France. The analysis was restricted to cancer sites for which tobacco smoking was recognized as a risk factor.

It may fail to detect more radical changes with a major medium-term or long-term impact on public health. To increase proactivity, the French Institute for Public Health Surveillance has opted for a prospective monitoring approach.

- Time-to-treatment for cancer is increasingly seen as a political and social issue, highlighting the need to address delays that lead to unequal access to care.
- A study analyzed data from 14,596 lung cancer patients diagnosed in 2009-2010, assessing median timeframes for treatment phases post-bronchoscopy, revealing significant variations based on age and geographic location.
- The findings aim to assist in developing guidelines for timely access to lung cancer treatment in France, marking the first research of its kind using a medico-administrative database.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are examining the impact of treatment delays on cancer care, particularly focusing on colon cancer (CC) and rectal cancer (RC) in France.
- A study analyzed data from 15,694 CC patients and 6,623 RC patients treated in 2009-2010, highlighting significant differences in treatment timelines, with RC patients facing longer wait times than CC patients.
- The results indicate regional disparities in treatment access, with northern areas experiencing longer delays, which could influence future healthcare policies aimed at improving timely cancer treatment.
Introduction: Long-term exposure to air pollution (AP) has been shown to have an impact on mortality in numerous countries, but since 2005 no data exists for France.
Objectives: We analyzed the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality at the individual level in a large French cohort followed from 1989 to 2013.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 20,327 adults working at the French national electricity and gas company EDF-GDF.
