Article Synopsis
- Testicular cancer is relatively rare, making up 1-3% of all cancers in men, but projections suggest a 25% rise in cases across Europe by 2025.
- A study analyzed trends in surgical treatment for testicular cancer in France from 2000 to 2014, involving 29,760 patients and highlighting an overall incidence increase of 21.3% during that period.
- The highest rates of testicular cancer were found in men aged 30-44, and geographical variations in incidence trends were observed, indicating that hospital discharge data can effectively track cancer trends in areas lacking comprehensive population-based registries.
Background: The development and use of healthcare databases accentuates the need for dedicated tools, including validated selection algorithms of cancer diseased patients. As part of the development of the French National Health Insurance System data network REDSIAM, the tumor taskforce established an inventory of national and internal published algorithms in the field of cancer. This work aims to facilitate the choice of a best-suited algorithm.

- Time-to-treatment for cancer is increasingly seen as a political and social issue, highlighting the need to address delays that lead to unequal access to care.
- A study analyzed data from 14,596 lung cancer patients diagnosed in 2009-2010, assessing median timeframes for treatment phases post-bronchoscopy, revealing significant variations based on age and geographic location.
- The findings aim to assist in developing guidelines for timely access to lung cancer treatment in France, marking the first research of its kind using a medico-administrative database.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are examining the impact of treatment delays on cancer care, particularly focusing on colon cancer (CC) and rectal cancer (RC) in France.
- A study analyzed data from 15,694 CC patients and 6,623 RC patients treated in 2009-2010, highlighting significant differences in treatment timelines, with RC patients facing longer wait times than CC patients.
- The results indicate regional disparities in treatment access, with northern areas experiencing longer delays, which could influence future healthcare policies aimed at improving timely cancer treatment.
