Mapping the national health information systems by the cancer registry perspective: early findings from the survey
Lopez T; Francisci S; Cacciani L; Andreotti A; DeSchutter H; Martos Jiménez C; Nygård M; Rodon Navarro E; Guzzinati S. 49th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL) Porto, 27-30 maggio 2025 Abstract Objectives: Within the framework of the Joint Action PreventNCDs, one of the tasks in WP8 (Task 8.4) aims to monitor the burden of cancer care on National Health Service (NHS) in terms of access to healthcare services and related costs. To this purpose, a preliminary step consists in mapping the healthcare data sources available in...
Incidence, treatment pathway and survival of central nervous system tumors by histotype in the Veneto region, Italy
Andreotti A; Ferroni E; Lombardi G; Guzzinati S; Zorzi M. 49th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL) Porto, 27-30 maggio 2025 Abstract Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate incidence, treatment pathways, and survival of malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the Veneto Region (North-eastern Italy), with a focus on the most common histologic types. Methods: We included all incidence cases of CNS tumors in adults registered by the Veneto Cancer Registry (VCR) between 2016 and 2020. Since tumor grade is not...
Survival in adolescents and young adults with cancer compared with children and adults in Europe: a Eurocare-6 study
Trama A; Rossi S; Cerza F; Didoné F; Botta L and Guzzinati S per the EUROCARE6 WG. 49th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL) Porto, 27-30 maggio 2025 Abstract Objectives: In Europe, cancer survival rates are high and improving for children (0-14 years) and adolescent and young adults (AYAs: 15–39 years). However, AYAs often have worse outcomes than children but better than adults. Using EUROCARE data, this study analyses 5-year relative survival (RS) across age groups, highlighting age-specific differences and survival...
Epidemiological causal models and their generalizabilty: a use case to study long-term effects in young cancer survivors
Bernasconi A, Zanga A, Trama A, Guzzinati S, Andreotti A, Ada WG. and ROSANNA validation WG. 49th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL) Porto, 27-30 maggio 2025 Abstract Objectives: Thanks to their ability to link to cancer cases several administrative data, population-based cancer registries (CRs) have the unique opportunity to study long-term outcomes in cancer survivors. The objective of this work is to discuss the use of a causal model to study 5-years risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in young women surviving breast...
Risk of metastatic recurrence in Italian women with breast cancer using population-based data: a modelling approach
Giudici F, De Vidi S, Guzzinati S, Toffolutti F, Dal Maso L, AIRTUM WG. 49th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL) Porto, 27-30 maggio 2025 Abstract Objectives: Information on cancer progression and recurrence is not routinely collected by cancer registries. This study aims to estimate the risk of metastatic recurrence (MR) for Italian women with early-stage breast cancer (BC). Methods: Women diagnosed with stage I-III BC in 1997–2017 were selected from 7 population-based Italian cancer registries. We used a novel modelling...
Predizione dei recettori biologici dai referti di patologia mammaria mediante Text Mining e Machine Learning
Andreotti Alessandra, Guzzinati Stefano, Baracco Maddalena, Baracco Susanna, Bovo Emanuela, Carpin Eva, Dal Cin Antonella, Fiore Anna Rita, Greco Alessandra, Memo Laura, Monetti Daniele, Rizzato Silvia, Stocco Carmen Fiorella, Stocco Jessica Elisabeth, Zamberlan Sara, Sbaraglia Marta, Zorzi Manuel Congresso Intermedio SISMEC 2024 Modena, 19-20 settembre 2024 Abstract IntroduzioneIl cancro della mammella è il tumore femminile più diffuso al mondo, con oltre 2,3 milioni di nuovi casi diagnosticati nel 2022. In Italia, nel 2022, è stato diagnosticato un tumore alla mammella a circa 57.000 donne...
Biological receptor prediction from breast pathology reports using Text Mining and Machine Learning methodologies
Andreotti Alessandra, Baracco Maddalena, Carpin Eva, Dal Cin Antonella, Fiore Anna Rita, Guzzinati Stefano, Memo Laura, Zorzi Manuel. 48th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL). Lausanne, 15 - 17 May 2024 Abstract Background In pathology reports, information on biological markers is often contained in a free text field related to the pathological diagnosis of cancer. Aim To train models capable of extracting and predicting the values of biological markers of female breast cancer contained in pathology reports, through the...
Health care costs of cancer patients at the end of life: estimates from the EPICOST-2 study
Silvia Francisci, Alessandra Andreotti, Alberto Gagliani, Silvia Gori, Stefano Guzzinati, Sandra Mallone, Daniela Pierannunzio, Andrea Tavilla 48th Annual Meeting of the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL). Lausanne, 15 - 17 May 2024 Abstract Background and aim Cancer treatment represents a significant burden on societies and healthcare systems. Costs of cancer care are particularly concentrated immediately after diagnosis and before death due to cancer for worst prognosis patients. The objective here is to estimate the cost profiles relating...
