Prognostic value of the CRM-status in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma - data from a regional cancer registry.

Background: Ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) still has a dismal prognosis even when deemed resectable. A cancer free resection margin (R0) is associated with a more favourable prognosis than the presence of tumour cells at resection margin (R1). However, the precise definition of the R0 status is still a matter of debate in PDAC.

Use of chemotherapy and loco-regional therapy in stage IA triple-negative breast cancer and their association with oncologic outcomes: A cancer registry study.

We aimed to evaluate the role of adjuvant chemotherapy and loco-regional therapy for stage IA (pT1, pN0) triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in a real-world setting. We identified patients with pT1, pN0 TNBC diagnosed between 2009 and 2021 within the Baden-Württemberg cancer registry (BWCR), Germany. Overall survival (OS) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier statistics and multivariate Cox regression models (adjusted for age, use of chemotherapy, local therapy (breast conserving therapy [breast conserving surgery + radiotherapy] vs.

Oncologic Outcomes for Different Axillary Staging Techniques in Patients with Nodal-Positive Breast Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Systematic Treatment: A Cancer Registry Study.

Background: Targeted approaches such as targeted axillary dissection (TAD) or sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) showed false-negative rates of < 10% compared with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with nodal-positive breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NAST). We aimed to evaluate real-world oncologic outcomes for different axillary staging techniques.

Methods: We identified nodal-positive breast cancer patients undergoing NAST from 2016 to 2021 from the state cancer registry of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.

[Incidence, therapy, and prognosis of prostate cancer in Baden-Württemberg: analysis based on cancer registry data].

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common solid tumor in men in Germany. Collection of epidemiological and clinical data has been centralized for several years due to legal requirements via the state cancer registries. Thus, the reporting of diagnosis, therapy, and progression of cancer is obligatory in Germany.

Clinical Characterization of HCC/CCA Mixed Cancers in a Population-based Cohort.

Background And Aims: Primary liver cancer (PLC) ranks among of the most common cancers worldwide. Within this group, a minority of cases displays characteristics of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), known as combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC- CCA). Currently, there is no specific standardized therapy for these mixed tumors.
