Educational inequalities in cancer survival
AIM: To describe educational inequalities in cancer survival and to what extent these can be explained by comorbidity and health behaviours (smoking, physical activity and alcohol consumption). METHODS: The GLOBE study sent postal questionnaires to individuals in The Netherlands in 1991 resulting in 18 973 respondents (response 70%). Questions were asked on education, health and health-related behaviours. Participants were linked for cancer diagn…
The Hospital Standardized Mortality Ratio Fallacy
BACKGROUND: Outcome measures, like hospital standardized mortality ratios (HSMRs), are increasingly used to assess quality of care. The validity of HSMRs and their accuracy to reflect quality of care is heavily contested. OBJECTIVE: We explored apparent and potential shortcomings and adverse effects of the HSMR in the assessment of quality of care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: For this narrative review, relevant articles were collected from Medli…
P2-161 Increased melanoma risk among melanoma patients
Background Study on risk of subsequent melanoma among melanoma patients is scarce. Objective To investigate melanoma risk in melanoma patients. Material and Methods Netherlands Cancer Registry incidence data (1989–2008) were employed. Patients (N=57 817) diagnosed melanoma in this period were followed. Follow-up censored at second melanoma, death or end of study. Standardised incidence ratio (SIR) was used expressing RR compared to the general po…
P2-160 Right-side shifting of second colorectal cancer-implications for aetiology and clinical relevance
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease: cancers in proximal, distal colon and rectum show differences in carcinogenesis pathways (proximal colon cancer related to microsatellite instability vs distal colon cancer to allelic losses), epidemiological patterns and clinical characteristics. By assessing the risk of second primary CRC among CRC patients, we aimed to shed light on the aetiology of multiple CRCs and its clinical r…
P2-159 Can the increased incidence of melanoma be explained solely by enhanced surveillance and awareness? A study using second melanoma as an indicator
Background Melanoma incidence has nearly doubled in the past 2 decades in the Netherlands. It has been debated whether this sharp increase was mainly due to enhanced surveillance and awareness. If this were true then this trend would be even more significant among cancer patients. Material and Methods Using data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry, we investigated the trend in the risk of developing melanoma among 1 270 815 cancers patients diag…
