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.
Background: Increasing evidence of cure for some neoplasms has emerged in recent years. The study aimed to estimate population-based indicators of cancer cure.
Methods: Information on more than half a million cancer patients aged 15-74 years collected by population-based Italian cancer registries and mixture cure models were used to estimate the life expectancy of fatal tumors (LEFT), proportions of patients with similar death rates of the general population (cure fraction), and time to reach 5-year conditional relative survival (CRS) >90% or 95% (time to cure).
Aims: In Italy, incidence rates of thyroid cancer (TC) are among the highest worldwide with substantial intracountry heterogeneity. The aim of the study was to examine time trends of TC incidence in Italy and to estimate the proportion of TC cases potentially attributable to overdiagnosis.
Methods: Data on TC cases reported to Italian cancer registries during 1998-2012 aged <85 years were included.
Background: Estimates of cancer prevalence are widely based on limited duration, often including patients living after a cancer diagnosis made in the previous 5 years and less frequently on complete prevalence (i.e., including all patients regardless of the time elapsed since diagnosis).

DISEGNO: un campione di residenti nei comuni di Augusta, Priolo e Melilli (Sicilia orientale) è stato selezionato per lo studio di biomonitoraggio umano. Un questionario dettagliato è stato somministrato a ogni partecipante per raccogliere informazioni anagrafiche sulle abitudini di vita e alimentari.
