Introduction: Occupation can contribute to differences in risk and stage at diagnosis of breast cancer. This study aimed at determining whether occupation, along with skill level and the socio-professional category, affect the breast cancer survival (BCS) up to 10 years after diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: We used cancer registry records to identify women diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer in western Switzerland over the period 1990-2014 and matched them with the Swiss National Cohort.
Introduction: Lung and breast cancer are important in the working-age population both in terms of incidence and costs. The study aims were to estimate the 10-year risk of lung and breast cancer by occupation and smoking status and to create easy to use age-, and sex-specific 10-year risk charts.
Methods: New lung and breast cancer cases between 2010 and 2014 from all 5 cancer registries of Western Switzerland, matched with the Swiss National Cohort were used.
Importance: Cardiotoxicity is a serious adverse effect that can occur in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Identifying patients who will develop cardiotoxicity remains challenging.
Objective: To identify, describe, and evaluate all prognostic models developed to predict cardiotoxicity following treatment in women with breast cancer.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how obesity impacts COVID-19 outcomes in cancer patients, looking specifically at ICU admissions, severe complications, and in-hospital mortality using data from French hospitals between March 2020 and February 2022.
- Among 992,899 cancer patients analyzed, 53,090 had COVID-19, with obese patients showing a higher likelihood of needing ICU care and experiencing severe complications regardless of obesity severity.
- While general obesity doesn't significantly raise the risk of in-hospital mortality, massive obesity increases this risk, especially for solid cancer patients without COVID-19 and hematological cancer patients with COVID-19, highlighting the need for extra caution with such patients.
Work-Related Factors and Lung Cancer Survival: A Population-Based Study in Switzerland (1990-2014).

Article Synopsis
- A Swiss study examined the impact of occupation and work-related factors on lung cancer survival among patients diagnosed between 1990 and 2014.
- Results indicated that lower skill levels correlated with worse survival rates for both men and women; particularly, men in certain occupational groups had a higher risk of mortality.
- The study suggests further research is necessary, focusing on factors like smoking habits and cancer treatments, to better understand how work conditions affect lung cancer survival.
