Increased Risk

We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the subsequent colorectal cancer (CRC) risk for women with gynecologic malignancy using insurance claims data of Taiwan. We identified patients who survived cervical cancer (N = 25,370), endometrial cancer (N = 8149) and ovarian cancer (N = 7933) newly diagnosed from 1998 to 2010, and randomly selected comparisons (N = 165,808) without cancer, matched by age and diagnosis date. By the end of 2011, the incidence and hazard ratio (HR) of CRC were estimated. We found that CRC incidence rates were 1.26-, 2.20-, and 1.61-fold higher in women with cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancers, respectively, than in comparisons (1.09/1000 person–years). The CRC incidence increased with age. Higher adjusted HRs of CRC appeared within 3 years for women with endometrial and ovarian cancers, but not until the 4th to 7th years of follow up for cervical cancer survivals. Cancer treatments could reduce CRC risks, but not significantly. However, ovarian cancer patients receiving surgery alone had an incidence of 3.33/1000 person–years for CRC with an adjusted HR of 3.79 (95% CI 1.11–12.9) compared to patients without any treatment. In conclusion, gynecologic cancer patients are at an increased risk of developing CRC, sooner for those with endometrial or ovarian cancer than those with cervical cancer.

Abstract Background: The health burden of breast cancer is rising in China. The effect of informed diagnosis on long-term survival has not been fully understood. This retrospective cohort study aims at exploring the association between early informed diagnosis and survival time in breast cancer patients.Methods: 12,327 breast cancer patients were enrolled between October 2002 and December 2016. Potential factors including knowing cancer diagnosis status, gender, age, clinical-stage, surgical history, the grade of reporting hospital and diagnostic year were registered. We followed up all participants every 6 months until June 2017.Results: By June 2017, 18.04% of the participants died of breast cancer. Both the 3-year and 5-year survival rate of whom knew cancer diagnosis were longer (P<0.001). By stratified analysis, except subgroups of male patients and patients in stage III, patients knowing diagnosis showed a better prognosis in all the other subgroups (P<0.05). By Cox regression analysis, it was showed that not knowing cancer diagnosis was an independent risk factor for survival in breast cancer patients (P<0.001).Conclusions: Being aware of their cancer diagnosis plays a protective role in extending the survival time in breast cancer patients, which suggests medical staff and patients’ families disclose cancer diagnosis to patients timely.
