Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to determine the best time frame for considering second primary cancers (SPCs) following a first cancer diagnosis, as current definitions vary widely without clear reasoning. //!
- Researchers analyzed data from 696,775 patients diagnosed with a first cancer between 1989 and 2010, finding a median synchronicity period of about 120.5 days, which translates to approximately 4 months. //!
- The study revealed variations in this synchronicity period based on factors like gender, age, and the type of first cancer, indicating that men tended to take longer to show SPC compared to women. //!
Purpose: To evaluate the evolution of living conditions (LC) in long-term survivors of localised prostate cancer 10 years after treatment compared with those of a same-age control group from the general population.
Methods: Two hundred and eighty-seven patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2001 were selected in 11 French cancer registries. They were matched with controls randomly selected for age and residency.
Background: The European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA), which aims to standardize the quality of patient care in Europe, has defined quality indicators (QIs) for breast cancer (BC) care to assess compliance to current care standards. These QIs are a useful tool to evaluate care organizations. Only population-based studies are able to assess health system performance in "real-life" situations.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between lung cancer risk and wood dust exposure after adjusting for occupational exposures.
Methods: Data were obtained from 2276 cases and 2780 controls on smoking habits and lifelong occupational history, using a standardised questionnaire with a job-specific questionnaire for wood dust exposure.
Background: Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare disease, and most available data on gastric MALT lymphoma (GML) come from clinical studies of selected patients treated in centres of excellence.
Aims: To analyse the clinical features, management and survival of GML patients in a population-based study in France METHODS: All new cases of GML diagnosed between 2002 and 2010 in 11 French areas covered by cancer registries were included. Pathology reports were verified and, if necessary, reviewed by an expert pathologist.
