BackgroundWe used, for the first time, data registered in the Nationwide Registry for Childhood Hematological Malignancies and Solid Tumors (NARECHEM-ST)-Greece to estimate incidence/time trends of the rare childhood (0–14 years) non-Wilms tumors (non-WT), and compared the results of malignant non-WT to those from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER)-USA.MethodsFifty-five cases (n = 33 malignant-only) were extracted from NARECHEM-ST (2001–2020) and 332 malignant cases from SEER (1990–2017). To allow between-country comparisons, age-standardized incidence rates (AIR) of malignant-only non-WT were calculated, and temporal trends were evaluated using Poisson and joinpoint regressions.ResultsIn NARECHEM-ST, malignant and non-malignant non-WT accounted for 22.6% of all renal tumors. Among malignant tumors, the AIR was 1.0/106 children in Greece, similar to that calculated for SEER, USA (AIR=0.9/106). The proportion of infant malignant and non-malignant non-WT was 27% (20% before 6 months) in NARECHEM-ST. Most common non-WT in Greece were congenital mesoblastic nephromas (CMN) diagnosed mainly in infancy (CIR=7.2/106). The proportion of infant malignant non-WT was 20% in SEER (AIRinfancy=2.5/106), mainly attributed to rhabdoid tumors (CIR=1.6/106). The male-to-female (M:F) ratio of malignant non-WT was 0.9 in NARECHEM-ST vs. 1.2 in SEER, whereas boys outnumbered girls with clear cell sarcoma in NARECHEM-ST (M:F=4.0). Lastly, significantly increasing trends in incidence rates were noted in NARECHEM-ST [+ 6.8%, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.5, 13.3] and in SEER (+7.3%, 95%CI: 5.6, 9.0).ConclusionsObserved incidence, time trends and sociodemographic variations of non-WT may reflect differential registration practices and healthcare delivery patterns including differences regarding surveillance, coding and treatment practices. 相似文献

BackgroundPeritoneal malignant mesothelioma is a rare disease for which few population-based studies are available. The aim of this study was to describe the evolution of the incidence and survival of peritoneal malignant mesothelioma in France between 1989 and 2015, using data derived from the French network of cancer registries.MethodsAge world-standardized incidence rates and overall survival were calculated using data from 16 French cancer registries. Log-linear Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the average annual percentage change in incidence rates. Overall survival was performed using age-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsIn French men, the incidence has increased quietly over the reporting period from 0.07 to 0.10 with a maximum of 0.16 per 100,000 persons-years in 2001–2003. For women, the increase in incidence has been lower than for men over the period 1989–2015, ranging from 0.04 to 0.11. A better prognosis was associated with a diagnosis made after 2000 (HR = 1.76; p = 0.013), the epithelioid histological type (p = 0.003), and the fact of being a woman, which has a 5-year risk of death half that of men (HR = 0.55; p = 0.001), regardless of age, diagnosis period or histology.ConclusionOur results are similar to those currently available for other countries. In France, peritoneal mesothelioma remains a rare and fatal cancer with a small increase in the incidence rate since 1989 and a median survival of 1 year; it seemed to develop equally in women and men over this period of time. 相似文献

BackgroundChronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a rare hematopoietic malignancy. Treatment with hypomethylating agents (HMA) was introduced between 2004 and 2006 but its impact on population-based survival remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate epidemiological characteristics and survival before and after introduction of HMA treatment.MethodsWe performed a population-based analysis of CMML cases reported to the Cantonal Cancer Registries in Switzerland (SWISS) and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program from the United States for 1999–2006 (before HMA) and 2007–2014 (after HMA). Time trends were compared for these two time periods.Results423 and 4144 new CMML cases were reported to the SWISS and SEER registries, respectively. We observed an increasing proportion of older patients ≥75 years in the SWISS (50.3%–62.3%) compared to a decreasing one in the SEER population (59.1%–55.1%). Age standardized incidence-rates were similar and remained stable in both countries (0.32–0.38 per 100’000 py). Relative survival (RS) improved significantly in the SEER (3 years 27%–37%; 5 years 19%–23%; p < 0.001 for both) but remained stable in the SWISS population (3 years 48% to 40%; 5 years 34% to 26%; n.s. for both).ConclusionsWith the exception of opposing age-trends, epidemiologic characteristics are similar in both countries and comparable to other population-based registries. RS remains poor and different time trends of population-based survival cannot be faithfully explained by HMA but most likely by changes in diagnostic accuracy within prognostically distinct age-groups. 相似文献

IntroductionGiant-cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive histologically benign neoplasm with a less common malignant counterpart. Longitudinal data sources on GCTB are sparse, limited to single institution case series or surgical outcomes studies. The Swedish Cancer Registry is one of the few national population-based databases recording GCTB, representing a unique source to study GCTB epidemiology. We estimated incidence rate (IR) and overall mortality rates based on registry data.Materials and methodsWe identified patients with a GCTB diagnosis in the Swedish Cancer Registry from 1983 to 2011: benign (ICD-7 196.0–196.9; PAD 741) and malignant (PAD 746). Results were stratified by age at diagnosis, gender, and anatomical lesion location.ResultsThe cohort included 337 GCTB cases (IR of 1.3 per million persons per year). The majority (n = 310) had primary benign GCTB (IR of 1.2 per million per year). Median age at diagnosis was 34 years (range 10–88) with 54% (n = 183) females. Malignant to benign ratio for women was 0.095 (16/167) and for men 0.077 (11/143). Incidence was highest in the 20–39 years age group (IR of 2.1 per million per year). The most common lesion sites were distal femur and proximal tibia. Mortality at 20 years from diagnosis was 14% (n = 48) and was slightly higher for axial (17%; n = 6) and pelvic (17%; n = 4) lesions. Recurrence occurred in 39% of primary benign cases and 75% of primary malignant cases.ConclusionsIn our modern population-based series primary malignant cases were uncommon (8%), peak incidence 20–39 years with slight predominance in women. Recurrence rates remain significant with overall 39% occurring in benign GCTB, and 75% in malignant form. The linkage between databases allowed the first population based estimates of the proportion of patients who received surgery at initial GCTB diagnosis, and those who also received subsequent surgeries. 相似文献

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant neoplasm arising from the mucosal epithelium of the nasopharynx. Different races can have different etiology, presentation, and progression patterns. Methods: Data were analyzed on NPC patients in the United States reported to the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database between 1973 and 2009. Racial groups studied included non-Hispanic whites, Hispanic whites, blacks, Asians, and others. Patient characteristics, age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates, treatment, and five-year relative survival rates were compared across races. Stratification by stage at diagnosis and histologic type was considered. Multivariate regression was conducted to evaluate the significance of racial differences. Results: Patient characteristics that were significantly different across races included age at diagnosis, histologic type, in situ/malignant tumors in lifetime, stage, grade, and regional nodes positive. Incidence and mortality rates were significantly different across races, with Asians having the highest rates overall and stratified by age and/or histologic type. Asians also had the highest rate of receiving radiation only. The racial differences in treatment were significant in the multivariate stratified analysis. When stratified by stage and histologic type, Asians had the best five-year survival rates. The survival experience of other races depended on stage and type. In the multivariate analysis, the racial differences were significant. Conclusions: Analysis of the SEER data shows that racial differences exist among NPC patients in the U.S. This result can be informative to cancer epidemiologists and clinicians. 相似文献

BackgroundThe Hungarian National Cancer Registry (HNCR) was legally established as a population-based cancer registry in 1999, and its operation started in 2000 supporting the planning and development of the Hungarian oncology network as well as informing national cancer control policies. Ensuring comparable, accurate, and complete data on malignant and in situ neoplasms is critical in determining the applicability of the database. The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the data quality at the HNCR.MethodsBased on qualitative and semiquantitative methods from current international guidelines, we assess the comparability, completeness, validity, and timeliness of the collected data over the diagnostic period 2000–2019, with a focus on the year 2018.ResultsCoding practices and the classification system used at the HNCR are based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), which differs from the internationally recommended ICD-O. The annual trends in incidence did not indicate major fluctuations, that may have resulted from data collection discrepancies, while comparisons of the mortality-to-incidence ratio (M:I) compared with 1 minus 5-year observed survival indicated some systematic differences requiring further exploration. The age-standardized (European standard) incidence rate per 100 000 measured by the HNCR in 2018 was very high: 647.9 for men and 501.6 for women, 11.6% and 14.6% higher than the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) estimates respectively. Behind the overall differences between the two data sources, we identified that the vast majority were due to ill-defined ICD codes: malignant neoplasm of other and ill-defined sites (C76), and malignant neoplasm without specification of site (C80). Otherwise, there were no major discrepancies by localization. The proportion of morphologically verified cancer cases was 57.8% overall, that of death certificates was 2.3%, and that of unknown primary tumors was 1.4%.ConclusionFurther implementations and interventions are required to ensure that the operations, coding practices, and the classification system used at the national registry are in accordance with international standards, and to increase the completeness and validity of the collected cancer data. In particular, the low morphologically verified proportion questions the overall accuracy of the stated diagnoses within the database. Nevertheless, our examination implies that the data of the HNCR are reasonably comparable, and without doubt fulfill the requirements to support national oncology services and cancer planning. However, most importantly, a review of registry personnel and resource requirements to run the national population-based cancer registry should be an essential part of Hungary’s national cancer strategy. 相似文献

BackgroundAfrica and the Caribbean are projected to have greater increases in Head and neck cancer (HNC) burden in comparison to North America and Europe. The knowledge needed to reinforce prevention in these populations is limited. We compared for the first time, incidence rates of HNC in black populations from African, the Caribbean and USA.MethodsAnnual age-standardized incidence rates (IR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) per 100,000 were calculated for 2013–2015 using population-based cancer registry data for 14,911 HNC cases from the Caribbean (Barbados, Guadeloupe, Trinidad & Tobago, N = 443), Africa (Kenya, Nigeria, N = 772) and the United States (SEER, Florida, N = 13,696). We compared rates by sub-sites and sex among countries using data from registries with high quality and completeness.ResultsIn 2013–2015, compared to other countries, HNC incidence was highest among SEER states (IR: 18.2, 95%CI = 17.6–18.8) among men, and highest in Kenya (IR: 7.5, 95%CI = 6.3–8.7) among women. Nasopharyngeal cancer IR was higher in Kenya for men (IR: 3.1, 95%CI = 2.5–3.7) and women (IR: 1.5, 95%CI = 1.0–1.9). Female oral cavity cancer was also notably higher in Kenya (IR = 3.9, 95%CI = 3.0–4.9). Blacks from SEER states had higher incidence of laryngeal cancer (IR: 5.5, 95%CI = 5.2–5.8) compared to other countries and even Florida blacks (IR: 4.4, 95%CI = 3.9–5.0).ConclusionWe found heterogeneity in IRs for HNC among these diverse black populations; notably, Kenya which had distinctively higher incidence of nasopharyngeal and female oral cavity cancer. Targeted etiological investigations are warranted considering the low consumption of tobacco and alcohol among Kenyan women. Overall, our findings suggest that behavioral and environmental factors are more important determinants of HNC than race. 相似文献

BackgroundMeningiomas are mostly benign tumors that originate from the coverings of the brain and spinal cord. Compared to malignant glial tumors, meningiomas are relatively understudied with regard to their risk factors and epidemiology. In particular, population-based data on cancer burden and patient outcomes are scant.MethodsPopulation-based data from Saarland, a federal state in South-Western Germany, were used; the data included 992 patients diagnosed with a first meningioma between 2000 and 2015. Incidence and mortality rates—as well as estimates of observed and relative survival and cumulative incidence of tumor recurrence up to 10 years after diagnosis—were derived by sex, age, WHO grade, and whether or not the patient had undergone surgery.ResultsThis population-based study not only included patients treated in the regional university hospital but also those treated elsewhere or patients without any surgical treatment. The mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 63 years, and 70%, 28% and 3% had WHO grade I, II and III meningiomas, respectively. Ten-year observed and relative survival of all patients combined was 72% and 91% respectively. Tumor-related mortality varied by sex and increased with age at diagnosis and the WHO grade of the tumor. The overall 10-year cumulative incidence of meningioma recurrence was 9%.ConclusionThis analysis represents the first modern population-based analysis of meningioma incidence and mortality and outcomes of patients with such neoplasms in Germany. Derived from an unselected sample of patients, this study may fill a hitherto existing gap in the literature on meningiomas. 相似文献

ObjectiveThe incidence of thyroid cancer has been steadily increasing. Several studies have identified gender and racial/ethnic differences in the incidence and prognosis of thyroid cancer. In this study, we sought to determine if the stage of presentation and survival rate of patients with thyroid cancer in the United States is affected by geographic region.MethodsUsing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we identified 100,404 patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer from 1973 through 2009. We assessed historical stage of diagnosis and cancer-free survival rate according to geographic region. To compare stages of diagnosis, we used multinomial logistic regression. To compare survival rates, we used Cox proportional hazards regression. Models were adjusted for age, year of diagnosis, cancer type, registry site, race/ethnicity, and stage.ResultsOf 100,404 patients, 52,902 (52.7%) were from the West, 17,915 (17.8%) from the East, 15,302 (15.2%) from the South, and 14,285 (14.2%) from the Midwest. Overall, most patients presented with localized disease. Those from the West had a higher risk of presenting with regional and distant metastases. When we double-stratified by cancer subtype and racial group, we found no significant associations between geographic region and cancer-free survival rate.ConclusionThe presentation stage and survival rate of patients with thyroid cancer differs by geographic region, but not within separate racial/ethnic groups.

BackgroundSoft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare, often fatal tumors, but little is known of the epidemiology and survival in the Australian population. This study aims to provide the first epidemiological analysis of incidence and survival rates of STS in the Australian population.MethodsA retrospective population-based observational study was conducted between 1982 and 2009 of all patients with a diagnosis of STS using the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) Australian Cancer Database. Incidence rates per 100,000; incidence rate ratios, age-standardized incidence rates, prevalence and incidence rates of subtypes of STS, median, one-year and 5-year survival rates were examined.ResultsA total of 26,970 patients were identified. Between 1982 and 2009 STS incidence rates significantly increased from 3.99 [95% CI 3.68–4.32] to 6.12 [95% CI 5.80–6.46] per 100,000 Australian population, with a peak incident rate ratio (IRR) of 1.59 [95% CI 1.51–1.69] (p < 0.0001) in 2001. Median age at diagnosis increased from 58 to 63 years. Incidence rates were stable across all 10-year age cohorts, except for people aged over 70 where it increased. Overall, age-standardized incidence rates increased from 4.70 [95% CI 4.42–5.00] in 1982 to 5.87 [95% CI 5.63–6.11] per 100 000 Australians in 2009. Leiomyosarcoma (20.43%), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (16.14%), and soft tissue tumors/sarcomas, not otherwise specified (10.18%) were the most common STS subtypes. Median survival from diagnosis increased from 5.80 years [95% CI 5.06–6.54] in 1985–1989 cohort to 8.18 years [95% CI 7.54–8.81] in the 2000–2004 cohort (log-rank test p < 0.0001).ConclusionThe incidence of STS is increasing in Australia, most noticeably in those aged over 70 years, with a small but statistically significant increase in overall survival rates. 相似文献

IntroductionRecent evidence of a causal link between Phosphodiesterase-5-inhibitor (PDE-5i) use and melanoma has caused concern in PDE-5i use and was even addressed in the 2018 American Urological Association guideline on erectile dysfunction (ED). Given that several studies have affirmed this low probability but statistically significant association, one might expect a shift in melanoma diagnoses since PDE-5is were introduced in 1998. We sought to determine if the introduction of PDE-5i drugs for ED treatment increased incidence of melanoma.MethodsThe Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to compare the incidence of melanoma diagnosis in American men between 1973 and 2015, providing over a decade of data before and after PDE-5i introduction in 1998. Interrupted time-series and logistic regression were used to assess this relationship.ResultsOver 43 years, the SEER database has reported 292,166 cases of Melanoma, with males accounting for 53.7% of cases (Standard deviation [SD] 3%, Range 47.5–58.3%). After the introduction of PDE-5i, there was no proportional increase in melanoma diagnoses, in fact demonstrating a 2% lower incidence from prediction models (p < 0.05).ConclusionOur analysis of the SEER database demonstrates that the trend in incidence of melanoma has fallen in the era of PDE-5i use for ED. These findings may be of value in counseling patients anxious about the potential association between PDE-5i use and skin cancer; however, continued research analyzing individual-level risk are needed. 相似文献

BackgroundOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health issue and research has shown that large regional variation in outcomes exists. Of the interventions associated with survival, the provision of bystander CPR is one of the most important modifiable factors. The aim of this study is to identify census areas with high incidence of OHCA and low rates of bystander CPR in Victoria, AustraliaMethodsWe conducted an observational study using prospectively collected population-based OHCA data from the state of Victoria in Australia. Using ArcGIS (ArcMap 10.0), we linked the location of the arrest using the dispatch coordinates (longitude and latitude) to Victorian Local Government Areas (LGAs). We used Bayesian hierarchical models with random effects on each LGA to provide shrunken estimates of the rates of bystander CPR and the incidence rates.ResultsOver the study period there were 31,019 adult OHCA attended, of which 21,436 (69.1%) cases were of presumed cardiac etiology. Significant variation in the incidence of OHCA among LGAs was observed. There was a 3 fold difference in the incidence rate between the lowest and highest LGAs, ranging from 38.5 to 115.1 cases per 100,000 person-years. The overall rate of bystander CPR for bystander witnessed OHCAs was 62.4%, with the rate increasing from 56.4% in 2008–2010 to 68.6% in 2010–2013. There was a 25.1% absolute difference in bystander CPR rates between the highest and lowest LGAs.ConclusionSignificant regional variation in OHCA incidence and bystander CPR rates exists throughout Victoria. Regions with high incidence and low bystander CPR participation can be identified and would make suitable targets for interventions to improve CPR participation rates. 相似文献

BackgroundThe impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cancer screening participation is a global concern. A national database of screening performance is available in Japan for population-based cancer screening, estimated to cover approximately half of all cancer screenings.MethodsUtilizing the fiscal year (FY) 2017–2020 national database, the number of participants in screenings for gastric cancer (upper gastrointestinal [UGI] series or endoscopy), colorectal cancer (fecal occult blood test), lung cancer (chest X-ray), breast cancer (mammography), and cervical cancer (Pap smear) were identified. The percent change in the number of participants was calculated.ResultsCompared with the pre-pandemic period (FY 2017–2019), in percentage terms FY 2020 recorded the largest decline in gastric cancer UGI series (2.82 million to 1.91 million, percent change was −32.2 %), followed by screening for breast cancer (3.10 million to 2.57 million, percent change was −17.2 %), lung cancer (7.92 million to 6.59 million, percent change was −16.7 %), colorectal cancer (8.42 million to 7.30 million, percent change was −13.4 %), cervical cancer (4.26 million to 3.77 million, percent change was −11.6 %), and gastric cancer via endoscopy (1.02 million to 0.93 million, percent change was −9.0 %).ConclusionThe number of participants in population-based screenings in Japan decreased by approximately 10–30 % during the pandemic. The impact of these declines on cancer detection or mortality should be carefully monitored. 相似文献

AimsChondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma form the majority of malignant primary tumours of bone. High-grade bone sarcomas require intensive treatment due to their rapid and invasive growth pattern and metastasising capabilities. This nationwide study covers overall incidence, treatment and survival patterns of bone sarcomas in a 15-year period (2000–2014) in the total population of the Netherlands.Patients and methodsData for this study were derived from the Netherlands Cancer Registry, which receives primary notification from the national pathology database. Classification and categorisation was based on the ICD-O-3 classification and the WHO classification 2013 applied according to our clinicopathological expertise. Overall incidence over the 15-year-period was calculated as a rate per 100,000 person-years (using the European Standardised Rate, ESR). Survival was analysed with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsIncidence for high-grade chondrosarcoma (n = 429) was estimated at 0.15 per 100,000 ESR, and 5-year overall survival at 65.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 61.0%–70.4%). Incidence for high-grade central osteosarcoma (n = 605) was estimated at 0.25 per 100,000 ESR and 5-year survival at 53.9% (95%CI: 49.7%–58.0%). Ewing sarcoma incidence (n = 334) was estimated at 0.15 per 100,000 ESR and 5-year survival at 59.3% (95%CI: 53.5%–64.6%). For high-grade central osteosarcoma, treatment at a bone tumour centre was associated with better survival (HR 0.593).ConclusionsThis study provides comprehensive incidence estimates for all the main primary bone sarcomas over a 15-year time period in a Northern European country with little migration. Centralisation of bone sarcoma care improves the clinical outcome in osteosarcoma. 相似文献

BackgroundRecent studies have reported that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving different primary extranodal sites have distinct clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. However, the risk of secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs) in DLBCL survivors with different primary extranodal sites are unknown.MethodsA total of 40,714 patients diagnosed with stage I/II DLBCL were included from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1983 to 2015.The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and absolute excess risk (AER) were used to assess the risk of SMNs.ResultsThe results show that the risk of SMN was significantly higher in extranodal DLBCL than in the US general population (SIR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.11–1.26), and the risk of developing SMN remains significantly elevated with increased latency. Moreover, there were multiple site-specific risk patterns. There was a 22%, 44%, 66%, 123% and 151% increased risk of SMN 10 years after primary gastrointestinal tract, head/neck, skeletal, lung and liver/pancreas DLBCL diagnosis, respectively. There was a significant decrease risk of SMN with increasing age at diagnosis for primary gastrointestinal tract and skeletal DLBCL. In addition, DLBCL patients with primary sites in the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid and liver/pancreas had the highest incidences of secondary stomach cancer, second thyroid cancer, and second hepatobiliary cancer, respectively, which indicated that the initial site of DLBCL may predict the type of SMN.ConclusionsThe strategies for cancer surveillance after extranodal DLBCL diagnosis may need to be individualized according to the subsite of extranodal DLBCL. 相似文献

ObjectivesTo assess outcomes and treatment patterns as a function of time in stage IS pure testicular seminoma patients using a population-based analysis.MethodsOne thousand one hundred and fifty-two stage I testicular seminoma patients with normal alpha-fetoprotein levels were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 1998 and 2005. Three hundred and twenty-three of these patients had persistent elevations of their serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and/or beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) level post-orchiectomy, i.e., “stage IS” disease.ResultsMedian follow-up was 86 months. There was persistent elevation of LDH or bHCG levels post-orchiectomy in 19% and 15% stage I patients, respectively. Post-orchiectomy LDH and bHCG did not predict overall survival (OS) or cause-specific survival (CSS) in stage IS patients. There was a decrease in utilization of adjuvant RT in stage IS patients from 1998 (100%) to 2005 (58%, p = .01). The annual percentage decrease in RT utilization for stage IS patients was −5.4% (95% confidence interval: −7.7% to −3.9%). Modern, linear accelerator-based RT was associated with an improvement in OS. However, longer follow up is necessary to determine if the OS benefit persists.ConclusionsPost-orchiectomy LDH and bHCG did not predict OS or CSS in stage IS patients. There was a steady decrease in utilization of adjuvant RT in the United States in stage IS testicular seminoma patients between 1998 and 2005. This may be due to the increasing popularity of chemotherapy or active surveillance. 相似文献

BackgroundLymphoma is the third most common pediatric malignancy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence rates of lymphoma in children and adolescents in Brazil.MethodsAll cases of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) were extracted from 14 population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) from 2000 to 2005, and included children and adolescents 0–19 years old. Analyses included age-adjusted incidence rates (AAIRs) and age-specific incidence rates (ASIRs) by each PBCR. A social exclusion index (SEI) was built and used as proxy for socioeconomic status (SES) levels. Correlations between SES and incidence rates were investigated using Spearman's test.ResultsThe median incidence of lymphoma was 22.7/million. AAIRs of lymphomas varied from 12.9 (Salvador) to 34.5 per million (São Paulo). Median AAIR was 8.8/million, 9.8/million, and 2.9/million for NHL, HL, and BL, respectively. In all PBCRs except that of Recife, AAIR was slightly higher in males than females. The median ASIR was highest for HL (18.5/million) at 15–19 years for both genders. For NHL there were two peaks for ASIR: 11.1/million (1–4 years of age) and 13.2/million (15–19 years of age). The median ASIR for BL was highest among children aged 1–4 years (4.7/million) and in males. Higher SEI correlated with higher incidence of HL (P = 0.06), whereas rates of NHL and BL did not correlate with SEI. Borderline different incidence rates were observed in HL correlated with cities with higher SEIs.ConclusionIncidence rates of lymphomas in Brazil do not differ compared to rates reported worldwide, although SES differences deserve further investigation. 相似文献

Introduction: There is a wide range of tumors affecting the orbital adnexa. Key such tumors include lymphomas, carcinomas, melanomas and rhabdomyosarcomas. Several studies have proposed that these histological subtypes differ in their survival outcomes. In this study we aim to describe the difference in survival outcomes between such subtypes. Methods: The SEER database was used to gather patient information. All 18 SEER registries were used. Patients diagnosed from 1996 to 2005 were included in the analysis. Observed five-year survival rate was calculated using the SEER*Stat software version 8.1.2. Data were extracted into IBM SPSS version 20 to generate Kaplan Meier curve for each group. Results: There were 2180 patients in the SEER databases who met the selection criteria. Lymphomas were the most common histology in adults. The overall five-year observed survival for all lymphoma patients was 75.9% (95% CI: 73.7–78.1). There was statistically significant difference between observed survival rates of lymphoma subtypes. Carcinomas were the second most common tumors. Their five-year observed survival rate in our study was 60.4%. There was no statistically significant difference between carcinoma subtypes’ observed survival rates in the 20–49 age group, while, in the older age group, the difference was found to be statistically significant. Rhabdomyosarcomas were the most common tumors in children. The overall five-year observed survival rate for rhabdomyosarcomas patients was 89.8%. There was no statistically significant difference between observed survival rates of rhabdomyosarcomas subtypes. There was no statistically significant difference between relative survival rates according to gender and treatment received except within melanomas. Conclusion: In adults, lymphomas have better survival rates than carcinomas. Whereas the lymphoma subtype can be used as a determinant prognostic factor in any age, the carcinoma subtype can be used as such a determinant in older age groups only. In children, rhabdomyosarcomas are the predominant tumors affecting the orbital adnexa. Further studies are needed to determine if the difference between embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma observed survival rates are statistically significant. 相似文献
