Erratum to “Worldwide comparison of ovarian cancer survival: Histological group and stage at diagnosis (CONCORD-2)” [Gynecol. Oncol. 144 (2017) 396–4…
2017
Objective. Ovarian cancer comprises several histological groups with widely differing levels of survival. We aimed to explore international variation in survival for each group to help interpret international differences in survival from all ovarian cancers combined. We also examined differences in stage-specific survival. Methods. The CONCORD programme is the largest population-based study of global trends in cancer survival, including data from 60 countries for 695,932 women (aged 15–99 years) diagnosed with ovarian cancer during 1995–2009. We defined six histological groups: type I epithelial, type II epithelial, germ cell, sex cord-stromal, other specific non-epithelial and non-specific…
Age-related socio-economic and geographic disparities in breast cancer stage at diagnosis: a population-based study.
2015
Background: This study aimed to determine the impact of socio-economic and geographic disparities on disease stage at diagnosis according to age in breast cancer (BC) patients. Secondary purpose was to describe survival . Methods: All women with primary invasive BC, diagnosed from 1998 to 2009 in the department of Cote d’Or were retrospectively selected using data from the Cote d’Or BC registry. European transnational ecological deprivation index (French European Deprivation Index) was used to measure the socio-economic environment. Relationships between socio-geographic deprivation and disease stage at diagnosis according to age were assessed by a multilevel ordered logistic regression mod…
Management and prognosis of pancreatic cancer over a 30-year period.
2009
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to report on changes in the diagnostic assessment, patterns of care and survival over time for pancreatic cancers. METHODS: A total of 2986 cases of pancreatic cancer from the Digestive Cancer Registry of Burgundy (France) over a 30-year period (1976–2005) were considered. Non-conditional logistic regressions were carried out to identify the factors associated with resection for cure and with the use of chemotherapy. A multivariate relative survival analysis was carried out. RESULTS: Diagnostic procedures have changed. Ultrasonography and computed tomography progressively have become the major diagnostic procedures. There was a slight improvement in sta…
Quality analysis of population-based information on cancer stage at diagnosis across Europe, with presentation of stage-specific cancer survival esti…
2017
Abstract Background Cancer registries (CRs) are fundamental for estimating cancer burden, evaluating screening and monitoring health service performance. Stage at diagnosis—an essential information item collected by CRs—has been made available, for the first time, by CRs participating in EUROCARE-5. We analysed the quality of this information and estimated stage-specific survival across Europe for CRs with good data quality. Data and methods Sixty-two CRs sent stage (as TNM, condensed TNM or extent of disease) for 15 cancers diagnosed in 2000–2007. We assessed the quality, partly by comparing stage according to the three systems. We also developed procedures to reconstruct stage (categories…
Understanding variations in survival for colorectal cancer in Europe: a EUROCARE high resolution study
2000
BACKGROUND—Marked differences in population based survival across Europe were found for colorectal cancers diagnosed in 1985-1989. AIMS—To understand the reasons for these differences in survival in a new analysis of colorectal cancers diagnosed between 1988 and 1991. SUBJECTS—A total of 2720 patients with adenocarcinoma of the large bowel from 11 European cancer registries (CRs). METHODS—We obtained information on stage at diagnosis, diagnostic determinants, and surgical treatment (not routinely collected by CRs) and analysed the data in relation to three year observed survival, calculating relative risks (RRs) of death and adjusting for age, sex, site, stage, and determinants of stage. RE…
Reasons for low cervical cancer survival in new accession European Union countries: a EUROCARE-5 study.
2019
Purpose: With better access to early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, cervical cancer (CC) burden decreased in several European countries. In Eastern European (EE) countries, which accessed European Union in 2004, CC survival was worse than in the rest of Europe. The present study investigates CC survival differences across five European regions, considering stage at diagnosis (local, regional and metastatic), morphology (mainly squamous versus glandular tumours) and patients’ age. Methods: We analysed 101,714 CC women diagnosed in 2000–2007 and followed-up to December 2008. Age-standardised 5-year relative survival (RS) and the excess risks of cancer death in the 5 years after diagnosi…
Impact de l'âge dans le cancer du sein : du diagnostic à la qualité de vie des patientes
2014
Numerous studies have shown that older women with breast cancer are undertreated in comparison with the youngest. Although several reports suggest strong socio-economic and geographic inequalities in the disease stage at diagnosis and in quality of life in breast cancer patients, the effects of these factors according to age are largely unknown in France. The objectives of this work were to determine the impact of socio-economic and geographic disparities on disease stage in breast cancer patients according to age, to describe treatments and relative survival factors in breast cancer patients according to age, and to identify age-related socioeconomic and clinical determinants of quality of…
