Ten-year survival of patient with cancer of the digestive tract in Umbria, Italy
No full textSurvival statistics of 4135 incident cases of digestive system cancers in the Umbria region of Italy are reported. The original data are derived from an ad hoc survey carried out in the period 1978-1982. Observed and relative rates at 1, 5 and 10 years are presented separately by sex and age ( or = 60 years). In both sexes there are very short survival rates for liver, bile duct and pancreas cancers, whereas about 50% of colon and rectum cancer patients survived at five years. About 20% stomach cancer patients survived at the same time. In males the survival rate for oesophagus cancer is close to 10%. The rates at ten years confirm the trend. Comparisons between sexes show that there is no significant differences in age at first diagnosis. Survival values are higher in females only for rectum cancers. In both sexes, for stomach, colon and rectum sites younger patients had a significantly longer survival than older one
Incidence of childhood cancer in the province of Perugia (Italy).
No full textThis paper reports the incidence of childhood cancer in the Province of Perugia (Italy) in 1975-1979 and compares it with that reported in other areas in Italy and other western countries. Over the period studied the new cases of cancers in children under 15 years of age, recorded in the Province of Perugia, were 51 in males and 36 in females. The mean annual incidence rates per 100,000 were 17.93 in males and 13.51 in females so that the male to female ratio of rates was 1.33. The most common neoplasms were leukemia (4.92 per 100,000 in males and 5.25 in females), brain tumours (3.87 in males and 1.50 in females), nephroblastomas (1.40 in males and 1.50 in females), lymphomas (2.81 in males and 0.37 in females). This distribution, in general, is the same as that observed in many other white populations. However some differences in the incidence value rates between the Province of Perugia and other areas of western countries are pointed out both for the cancers as a whole and for certain histologic types

No full textTen year survival and age at diagnosis of women with breast cancer from population-based study in Umbria, Italy.
No full textWe analyzed the 10-year survival of 1,512 women with breast cancer in relation to age at diagnosis. The incident cases were from an ad hoc investigation in Umbria, a region of central Italy, for the period 1978-1982. The follow-up was carried out by an automatic link with the RENCAM (Nominative register of causes of death) and verified at the Register's Offices of the various towns of the region. Observed survival at 1 year was 0.89, at 3 years 0.75, at 5 years 0.64 and at 10 years 0.47. Median survival was 9.0 years. Relative survival at 1, 3, 5, 10 years was respectively 0.91, 0.79, 0.71 and 0.59. Women < 35 years of age had a better prognosis both at 5 (0.83) and 10 years (0.69) from diagnosis. Thereafter, survival decreased with increasing age. The exception to this trend was women in the 45-49 and 60-64 year age ranges, for which survival was greater than the previous age range classes by 6% and 13%, respectively, at 5 years from diagnosis and 6% and 14% at 10 years. Comparison of data from Umbria and Italian and European Registries shows that the prognosis for Umbrian women with breast cancer is quite good
