Incidence of Severe Osteonecrosis Requiring Total Joint Arthroplasty in Children and Young Adults Treated for Leukemia or Lymphoma: A Nationwide, Register-Based Study in Finland and Denmark.

The population-based incidence of severe osteonecrosis (ON) necessitating total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in patients with hematological cancer is unknown. This study assessed the incidence of ON requiring primary TJA in children and young adults treated for leukemia or lymphoma. Patients diagnosed with leukemia or lymphoma before 31 years of age were identified from the Finnish and Danish Cancer Registries.

Survival of European patients diagnosed with myeloid malignancies: a HAEMACARE study.

Population-based information on the survival of patients with myeloid malignancies is rare mainly because some entities were not recognized as malignant until the publication of the third revision of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology and World Health Organization classification in 2000. In this study we report the survival of patients with myeloid malignancies, classified by updated criteria, in Europe. We analyzed 58,800 cases incident between 1995 to 2002 in 48 population-based cancer registries from 20 European countries, classified into HAEMACARE myeloid malignancy groupings.

[The health of children born after cancer treatments].

With the development of cancer treatments an increasing number of patients having contracted cancer at a young age will survive. Those who have recovered from cancer will, however, have children almost twice more infrequently than their siblings. Women who have received radiotherapy especially in the abdominal and pelvic region possess an increased risk of premature delivery.

Population-based estimates of the occurrence of multiple vs first primary basal cell carcinomas in 4 European regions.

Objective: To estimate the population-based incidence of first and multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) throughout Europe.

Design: The registry practices of 4 population-based cancer registries that routinely register BCC incidence were evaluated for inclusion of first and subsequent histologically confirmed BCCs. Where multiple BCCs were not routinely registered, comparisons with hospital databases were made.

Increased relative risk of lung cancer in 2,904 patients with saccular intracranial aneurysm disease in eastern Finland.

Background And Objective: To analyze the long-term incidence of cancer after the first diagnosis of saccular intracranial aneurysm (sIA) disease.

Methods: The Neurosurgery Department of the Kuopio University Hospital (KUH) solely serves a defined Eastern Finnish population. The Kuopio sIA database contains 2,904 consecutive sIA cases from 1980 to 2007, 618 unruptured (170 familial and 448 sporadic) and 2,286 ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) cases (308 familial and 1,978 sporadic).
