“…As tobacco smoking has been declining in the Netherlands for several years now, the downward trend in SCCNV may, at least in part, be attributable to this. 34 It is important to note that these incidence rates may be underestimated. Given that tumors of the nasal vestibule are registered under the same topography code as tumors of the nasal cavity proper (C30.0), cohort selection depends on the arduous process of manually identifying the correct cases by assessing pathology reports.…”

BackgroundSquamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule (SCCNV) is a rare disease, distinctly different in presentation, treatment, and outcome from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. However, these are often not analyzed separately.MethodsThe Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) and pathology reports from the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank (PALGA) were used to identify all newly diagnosed SCCNV cases in the Netherlands between 2008 and 2021.ResultsA total of 763 patients were included. The yearly incidence rate displayed a significant downward trend with an annual percentage change (APC) of −3.9%. The 5‐year overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival were 69.0% and 77.2%, respectively. The 5‐year relative survival was 77.9% and improved slightly over the inclusion period. OS for patients who were staged cT3 appeared to be worse than those staged cT4a, calling the applicability of the TNM‐classification into question.ConclusionSCC of the nasal vestibule is rare, with declining incidence rates. Introducing a specific topography code for SCCNV is recommended to enhance registration accuracy. The TNM classification seems poorly applicable to SCCNV, suggesting the need to explore alternative staging methods.

BackgroundSinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is known for its rarity and poor prognosis. This study aims to investigate the trends in the incidence of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma in the Netherlands and to analyze patient characteristics and treatment practices in order to assess their relation with patient outcomes.MethodsIn this prospectively designed population‐based cohort study, all patients diagnosed with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma between 2008 and 2021 in the Netherlands were included. Patients with a squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule were excluded, leading to a definitive study population of 568 cases.ResultsThe annual incidence rate for the overall population displayed a slight upward trend over the inclusion period with an annual percentage change of 1.6%. The 5‐year overall, disease‐free, and relative survival were 43.0%, 52.0%, and 47.2%, respectively. Relative survival decreased marginally over the course of the inclusion period.ConclusionSinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is rare with approximately stable incidence rates. There is a limited, non‐statistically significant, decrease in survival between 2008 and 2021. Therefore, there is a clear need for innovative treatment approaches to improve outcomes for patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma.

Purpose Problematic substance use and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are common in all layers of the population. Several studies suggest higher prevalence rates of problematic substance use among physicians compared to the general population, which is harmful for themselves and potentially impairs quality of care. However, nationwide comparison with a highly educated reference group is lacking. Using nationwide register data, this study compared the prevalence of clinical SUD diagnoses and alcohol consumption patterns between physicians and a highly educated reference population. Methods A retrospective study was performed using registry data from 2011 up to and including 2019, provided by Statistics Netherlands. From the data, a highly educated reference group was selected and those with an active medical doctor registration were identified as “physicians”. Clinical SUD diagnoses were identified by DSM-IV codes in mental healthcare registries. Benchmark analyses were performed, without statistical testing, to compare the prevalence of SUD diagnoses and alcohol consumption patterns between physicians and the reference population. Results Clinical SUD diagnoses were found among 0.3% of the physicians and 0.5% of the reference population, with higher proportions of sedative use disorder among physician patients. Among drinkers, the prevalence rates of heavy and excessive drinking were respectively 4.0% and 4.3% for physicians and 7.7% and 6.4% for the reference population. Conclusion Prevalence rates of SUD diagnoses were fairly comparable between physicians and the highly educated reference population, but physicians displayed more favorable alcohol consumption patterns. The use of sedatives by physicians might deserve attention, given the relatively higher prevalence of sedative use disorder among physicians. Overall, we observed relatively low prevalence rates of SUD diagnoses and problematic alcohol use, which may reflect a treatment gap and social desirable answers.
