Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed breast cancer treatments, survival rates, and prognostic factors based on the age of women diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer between 1998 and 2009 in Côte d'Or.
- Older women (over 74 years) had more advanced tumors and comorbidities, resulting in a lower use of effective treatments like breast-conserving surgery and higher rates of being untreated.
- While older women generally had more favorable tumor characteristics, their survival rates were significantly worse if they had comorbid conditions, did not participate in screening, and received inadequate treatment.
Background: The aim of this population-based study was to assess independent prognostic factors in ovarian cancer using relative survival (RS) and to investigate changes in RS rates from 1982 to 2005.
Methods: Data on 748 patients with ovarian cancer were provided by the Côte d'Or gynaecologic cancer registry. The RS was estimated using a generalized linear model with a Poisson error structure.
Background: Few population-based studies have reported jointly analyses of relative survival according to the following prognostic factors: tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, age, number of examined and positive nodes, hormonal status, histological Scarff, Bloom and Richardson (SBR) grade, tumour extension, hormone receptor status and tumour multifocal status.
Patients And Methods: Data on female invasive breast cancer were provided by the Cote d'Or breast cancer registry. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to estimate and compare the survival probability at 1, 5, 10 and 15 years.
Using the 2,208 non metastatic breast cancer diagnosed women who underwent breast surgery from the 2,432 first breast cancers recorded by the French département of Côte-d'Or cancer registry from 1982 to 1992, we described in this well-defined population, the trend in breast-cancer adjuvant treatment, and related practices with recommendations according to risk groups. Adjuvant treatment was received by 44.1% of the 2,208 women.

In the course of 7 years (1976-1982), 45 new cases of anal canal cancer were recorded. Age standardized rates using world standard population are 1.
