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.
Article Synopsis
- 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.
