Scrotal cancer: incidence, survival and second primary tumours in the Netherlands since 1989.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Since the 1970s there have been few epidemiological studies of scrotal cancer. We report on the descriptive epidemiology of scrotal cancer in the Netherlands. METHODS: Data on all scrotal cancer patients were obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) in the period 1989-2006 and age-standardised incidence rates were calculated also according to histology and stage. Relative survival was calculated and multiple primary tumours were studied. RESULTS: The overall incidence rate varied around 1.5 per 1,000,000 person-years, most frequently being squamous cell carcinoma (27%), basal cell carcinoma (19%) and Bowen's disease (15%). Overall 5-year relative survival was 82%, being 77% and 95% for patients with squamous and basal cell carcinoma, respectively. In all, 18% of the patients were diagnosed with a second primary tumour. CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of scrotal cancer did not decrease, although this was expected; affected patients might benefit from regular checkups for possible new cancers.

Incidence of primary malignant orbital tumours in the Netherlands.

Project description:AIMS: To describe the incidence and relative frequencies of primary malignant orbital tumours in the Netherlands from 1989 to 2006. METHODS: All registered primary malignant orbital tumours were extracted from the population-based database of the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Age-adjusted incidence of malignant orbital tumours per 10,000,000 persons per year and the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) were computed. RESULTS: A total of 367 malignant orbital tumours were registered. The average age-adjusted incidence of malignant orbital tumours is 10.9. Lymphoma has a relative frequency of 67%, rhabdomyosarcoma 12%, adenocarcinoma 6%, and adenoid cystic carcinoma 5%. The incidence of primary malignant orbital tumours has been increasing in the Netherlands (EAPC +2.8%). CONCLUSION: In the Netherlands, lymphoma is the most common primary malignant orbital tumour, followed by rhabdomyosarcoma, adenocarcinoma, and adenoid cystic carcinoma. The relative frequencies of the different histological tumour types are comparable to the frequencies in other parts of the world. The incidence of malignant primary orbital tumours shows a slight increase between 1989 and 2006.

Comprehensive trends in incidence, treatment, survival and mortality of first primary invasive breast cancer stratified by age, stage and receptor subtype in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2017.

Project description:Our study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of trends in incidence, survival, mortality and treatment of first primary invasive breast cancer (BC), according to age, stage and receptor subtype in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2017. Data from all women diagnosed with first primary stage I to IV BC (N = 320 249) were obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. BC mortality and general population data were retrieved from Statistics Netherlands. Age-standardised incidence and mortality rates were calculated with annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) statistics. The relative survival (RS) was used as estimator for disease-specific survival. The BC incidence for all BC patients combined significantly increased until 2013 from 126 to 158 per 100 000 person-years, after which a declining trend was observed. Surgery became less extensive, but (neo-)adjuvant systemic treatments and their combinations were given more frequently. The RS improved for all age groups and for most stages and receptor subtypes, but remained stable for all subtypes since 2012 to 2013 and since 2000 to 2009 for Stage IV BC at 15 years of follow-up. Overall, the 5- and 10-year RS increased from 76.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 76.1, 77.4) and 55.9% (95% CI: 54.7, 57.1) in 1989 to 1999 to 91.0% (95% CI: 90.5, 91.5) and 82.9% (95% CI: 82.2, 83.5), respectively, in 2010 to 2016. BC mortality improved regardless of age and overall decreased from 57 to 35 per 100 000 person-years between 1989 and 2017. In conclusion, the BC incidence in the Netherlands has steadily increased since 1989, but the latest trends show promising declines. Survival improved markedly for most patients and the mortality decreased regardless of age.

Risk of second primary malignancies in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a population-based study in the Netherlands, 1989-2019.

Project description:The longevity of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has improved progressively over the past decades, making it essential to understand long-term health outcomes, such as second primary malignancies (SPMs). Therefore, this nationwide, population-based study assessed the risk of SPM development in CLL patients diagnosed during 1989-2019 in the Netherlands compared to the expected number of malignancies in an age-, sex-, and period-matched group from the general Dutch population. In 24,815 CLL patients followed for 162,698.49 person-years, 4369 SPMs were diagnosed with a standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 1.63 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.59-1.68). This elevated risk was observed for solid (SIR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.65-1.75) and hematological SPMs (SIR 1.42; 95% CI, 1.24-1.62). The highest risk for SPMs was noted beyond five years post-diagnosis (SIR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.62-1.77), for male individuals (SIR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.64-1.77), and patients aged 18-69 years (SIR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.79-2.05). The risk of SPMs was higher in CLL patients who received anti-neoplastic therapy (SIR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.96-2.28), as compared with those who did not (SIR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.53-1.63). Routine surveillance activities and tailored interventions to counteract the increased morbidity and excess mortality associated with SPMs are essential for improving long-term outcomes in CLL patients.

Impact of radiotherapy on second primary lung cancer incidence and survival in esophageal cancer survivors.

Project description:Esophageal cancer, ranked as the seventh most common cancer globally, encompasses squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Despite advancements in treatment modalities like surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, radiotherapy, while crucial for enhancing local control and survival, poses risks for long-term side effects and the development of second primary malignancies (SPM), notably Second primary lung cancer (SPLC). This study aims to analyze the incidence of second primary lung cancer (SPLC) among esophageal cancer survivors, with a focus on the influence of radiotherapy, analyze variations across different demographic and clinical subgroups, and assess patient survival outcomes. Using data from the Surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) program on 56,493 esophageal cancer patients (2000-2020), we compared SPLC incidence in those with and without prior radiotherapy. We applied a competing risks framework, propensity score matching (PSM), and survival analyses to assess SPLC risk and radiotherapy's impact. The study showed that patients treated with radiotherapy have a significantly higher long-term risk of SPLC compared to those without it. Radiotherapy significantly raised SPLC risk (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.06-1.88), with higher SIRs particularly in younger patients and females. Post-PSM, there were significant differences in cancer-specific survival between esophageal cancer survivors with post-radiotherapy SPLC and those with only primary lung cancer. This cohort study shows that radiotherapy in esophageal cancer survivors increases SPLC risk but does not worsen survival compared to those with OPLC, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring and management.

Primary therapy and relative survival in patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom macroglobulinaemia: a population-based study in the Netherlands, 1989-2018.

Project description:It is unclear how treatment advances impacted the population-level survival of patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (LPL/WM). Therefore, we assessed trends in first-line therapy and relative survival (RS) among patients with LPL/WM diagnosed in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2018 (N = 6232; median age, 70 years; 61% males) using data from the nationwide Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients were grouped into three age groups (<65, 66-75 and >75 years) and four calendar periods. Overall, treatment with anti-neoplastic agents within 1 year post-diagnosis gradually decreased over time, following a broader application of an initial watch-and-wait approach. Approximately 40% of patients received anti-neoplastic therapy during 2011-2018. Furthermore, use of chemotherapy alone decreased over time, following an increased application of chemoimmunotherapy. Detailed data among 1596 patients diagnosed during 2014-2018 revealed that dexamethasone-rituximab-cyclophosphamide was the most frequently applied regimen; its use increased from 14% to 39% between 2014 and 2018. The 5-year RS increased significantly over time, particularly since the introduction of rituximab in the early-mid 2000s. The 5-year RS during 1989-1995 was 75%, 65%, and 46% across the age groups compared to 93%, 85%, and 79% during 2011-2018. However, the survival improvement was less pronounced after 2011. Collectively, the impressive survival improvement may be accounted for by broader application of rituximab-containing therapy. The lack of survival improvement in the post-rituximab era warrants studies across multiple lines of therapy to further improve survival in LPL/WM.

Trends and projections in the incidence of oesophageal cancer in the Netherlands: An age-period-cohort analysis from 1989 to 2041.

Project description:In Western populations, the incidence of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been declining, whereas the incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) has been increasing. Our study examines temporal trends in the incidence of oesophageal cancer in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2016, in addition to predicting future trends through 2041. Data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and Statistics Netherlands were collected to obtain incidence trends of OSCC and OAC for the period 1989 to 2016. Age-period-cohort (APC) modelling was used to estimate the contribution of age, calendar period and birth cohort on the observed incidence trends. To predict the future numbers of new cases of both OSCC and OAC from 2017 to 2041, log-linear APC models were fitted to the trends of 1989 to 2016. The age-standardised incidence rates of OSCC have decreased slightly for men and increased slightly for women. In contrast, a marked increase in the incidence of OAC was observed, ranging from 2.8 per 100 000 persons in 1989 to 10.1 in 2016. This increase in OAC incidence was more prominent in men, and it will result in an increased risk of OAC for successive generations. Future projections indicate that the incidence of OAC will further increase to 13.1 per 100 000 persons in 2037 to 2041, meaning that there will be 13 259 cases of OAC in 2037 to 2041, as compared to 9386 diagnoses in 2017 to 2021. The changing epidemiologic trends in oesophageal cancer in the Netherlands should be reflected in the development of prevention, early detection and treatment strategies.

Survival for endometrial cancer as a second primary malignancy.

Project description:BackgroundEndometrial cancer (EC) often occurs subsequently to a primary cancer arising from a different site. However, little is known regarding the survival experience of EC as a second primary (ECSP) malignancy, specifically in relation to the original primary site and prior treatment.MethodsUsing Florida's cancer registry, all EC cases (first, second, or higher-order) diagnosed from 2005-2016 were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox Regression were used in a cause-specific survival analysis.ResultsA total of 2879 clinically independent ECSPs and 42,714 first primary ECs were analyzed. The most common first primary sites for ECSPs were breast cancer (BC) (n = 1422) and colorectal cancer (CRC) (n = 359). Five-year cause-specific survival was 84.0% (95% CI: 83.6-84.3) for first primary ECs and 81.8% (95% CI: 80.0-83.4) for ECSPs. After adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, histology, and stage at diagnosis, ECSPs had a lower risk of EC mortality than first primary ECs (hazard ratios [HR] 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.97). ECSPs with a first primary CRC had a higher risk of EC-specific death (HR 1.47, 95% CI: 1.04-2.06) compared to ECSPs that followed BC in multivariable analysis. Finally, women who had chemotherapy for ECSP and preceding BC did not have a higher risk of death (HR 0.80, 95% CI: 0.49-1.31) compared to those who only received chemotherapy for first primary EC.ConclusionsECSPs present a complex clinical profile. ECSP survival is superior to that of first primary EC. However, ECSPs following CRC may constitute a population of interest for their worse prognosis. Chemotherapy for a previous BC does not seem to impact the effectiveness of chemotherapy for ECs.

Factors associated with the development of second primary tumours in head and neck cancer patients.

Project description:IntroductionThe development of second primary tumours (SPTs) is one of the main causes of low survival in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). The aim of this study was to review the evidence about factors associated with developing SPTs in patients with HNC.MethodsAn updated systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, and the search was performed in Pubmed and Scopus. Only original articles with a cohort or case-control design were included. Article quality was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.ResultsThirty-six and two case-control studies were included, with quality medium (n = 5) to high (n = 33). Tobacco showed a significant association with SPT development, with risks ranging from 1.41 (95%CI: 1.04-1.91) to 5.52 (95%CI: 2.91-10.49). Regarding alcohol, risks ranged from 1.46 (95%CI: 1.12-1.91) to 21.3 (95%CI: 2.9-156). Location of the index tumour in the hypopharynx/oropharynx, absence of human papillomavirus and presence of a premalignant lesion also increased the risk of SPTs. More controversy was found for sex, age and other clinical factors of the tumour.ConclusionToxic lifestyle habits and clinical factors were associated with the risk of SPTs in HNC patients. These findings may improve individualised prevention strategies in its follow-up.

The Incidence, Survival, and HPV Impact of Second Primary Cancer following Primary Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A 20-Year Retrospective and Population-Based Study.

Project description:Second primary cancer (SPC) is the second most common cause of death among patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer. This study examined the risk of SPC following oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) on survival following SPC. The study was a population-based, retrospective study including all patients diagnosed with OPSCC in eastern Denmark from 2000-2020 who received curative intended treatment. The incidence rate ratio (IRR), age-adjusted incidence rates (AAIR), and hazard ratios (HR) were calculated. A total of 2584 patients with primary OPSCC were included (median follow-up time: 3.1 years), with 317 patients (12.3%) diagnosed with SPC. The risk of SPC was approximately five times the occurrence of cancer in the general population (IRR: 4.96). The median time to SPC after a primary OPSCC was 2.0 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 0.6-4.2 years). HPV-positive (HPV+) patients had a significantly longer median time to SPC, and a significant better survival compared to HPV-negative (HPV-) patients. SPC was most frequently found in lungs, head, and neck (LHN) for HPV- OPSCC patients and lungs followed by gender-specific (prostate, ovaries, or endometrium) for HPV+ OPSCC. There was a significant difference between the two groups when distributed between "within" or "outside" LHN. Patients with SPC outside LHN had a significant better overall survival. This knowledge should be considered during post-treatment surveillance and might guide targeted imaging.
