Open AccessA new cure model that corrects for increased risk of non-cancer death: analysis of reliability and robustness, and application to real-life data
Non-cancer mortality in cancer patients may be higher than overall mortality in the general population due to a combination of factors, such as long-term adverse effects of treatments, and genetic, environment...

Social Disparities in Cancer Incidence: Methodological Considerations
Background: We present statistical models to describe the geographical distribution of the incidence of a cancer site on a fine spatial scale and the part of geographical variation that can be related to the s...

Open AccessImpact of socioeconomic inequalities on geographic disparities in cancer incidence: comparison of methods for spatial disease map**
The reliability of spatial statistics is often put into question because real spatial variations may not be found, especially in heterogeneous areas. Our objective was to compare empirically different cluster ...

Open AccessTotal and partial cancer prevalence in the adult French population in 2008
To provide estimations of partial and total prevalence of 24 cancer sites in France in 2008. The estimations of partial prevalence were compared with the previous estimations for 2002.

Open AccessThe effect of patient characteristics on second primary cancer risk in France
Although cancer survivors are known to be at greater risk of develo** second primary cancer (SPC), SPC incidence estimates in France are thus far lacking. We used a multivariate approach to compute these est...

Open AccessRisk of cancer in the vicinity of municipal solid waste incinerators: importance of using a flexible modelling strategy
We conducted an ecological study in four French administrative departments and highlighted an excess risk in cancer morbidity for residents around municipal solid waste incinerators. The aim of this paper is t...

Estimating infra-national and national thyroid cancer incidence in France from cancer registries data and national hospital discharge database
As in many countries, cancer registries cover only part of the population in France. Incidence/mortality ratio observed in registries is usually extrapolated to produce national estimates of cancer incidence. ...

Bootstrap Investigation of the Stability of Disease Map** of Bayesian Cancer Relative Risk Estimations
Background: Bayesian approaches to disease map** of relative risks are useful for rare disease when geographical units have very different population sizes. As Bayesian approaches may induce very different est...

Protein tyrosine kinase activity in 350 T1/T2, N0/N1 breast cancer. Preliminary results
Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are a family of enzymes sharing a highly conserved catalytic domain which phosphorylates substrate proteins on tyrosine residues. PTKs play a major role in the transduction of t...
