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...
Causalità e generalizzabilità dei modelli epidemiologici: utopia o realtà? Parliamone insieme!
A. Bernasconi, A. Zanga, A. Andreotti Ancillary meeting del XLIX – Congresso dell'Associazione Italiana di Epidemiologia 2025 Salerno, 9 Aprile 2025 Abstract Questo ancillary meeting vuole proporre una discussione metodologica (e non solo) sull’utilizzo di strumenti di intelligenza artificiale causali, sulle difficoltà relative ad aspetti come la validazione esterna e la generalizzabilità dei risultati, alla luce delle attuali stringenti normative sulla privacy. Non si tratta solo di un incontro tecnico, ma di una vera e propria occasione per esplorare le sfide più attuali e urgenti legate...
Trasparenza e trasportabilità dei modelli epidemiologici: il ruolo delle variabilità geografiche nel follow-up dei pazienti oncologici
