“…That decrease is in part a result of improvement in treatments and the implementation of screening programs. Indeed, compared with control subjects, women invited to screening had a 20% relative risk reduction for breast cancer mortality [2][3][4] .…”

“…We observed an increase in poorly differentiated DCIS (Figure 2) that may reflect increased use of mammography and also could represent a downstaging from invasive to in situ cancers, as hypothesised (Sumner et al, 2007). We found an increasing trend of well/ moderately differentiated invasive cases, accompanied by a decrease in high-grade cancers, that could be associated with early detection (Tabar et al, 1999;Schopper and de Wolf, 2007).…”

“…Similarly, in Denmark, a median tumour with a diameter equal to 20 mm was observed in two regions where no organised screening was implemented, and that equal to 15 mm in a region where one was . When we performed a subgroup analysis that considered tumour size for the period 2000 -2005 (with the aim of making comparison with other studies without a period bias), the proportion of tumours with a diameter p10 mm was 18.2% in Ticino, whereas in the Cantons of Geneva and Vaud, with population-based screening, this reached 26.1 and 30.1%, respectively (Table 2) (Schopper and de Wolf, 2007;Bulliard et al, 2009). In view of the difficulty in the pathological determination of the DCIS diameter, this was not analysed (Thomson et al, 2001;European Commission, 2006).…”

BACKGROUND: Although some clinical -pathological features of breast cancers, such as the incidence of ductal cancer in situ (DCIS) and the diameter of invasive tumours, are sensitive indicators of early detection, comprehensive population-based studies of opportunistic screening are needed. METHODS: Cases of DCIS or invasive breast cancer diagnosed in 1996 -2007 were identified from the Ticino Cancer Registry (south of Switzerland). Time trends of age-adjusted incidence and mortality, as well as main clinical -pathological features, such as tumour diameter, AJCC stage and histological grade, were analysed. RESULTS: A total of 3047 incident cases of female breast cancer were identified. The proportion of DCIS with respect to invasive cases increased from 5.8% in the period

“…Countries also differ greatly with regard to this evolution. National coverage had already been achieved in Sweden in 1997 (Schopper and de Wolf 2009), while Poland (Bastos et al 2010) and Denmark (Schopper and de Wolf 2009) first implemented their national program about a decade later. Cultural health capital theory and health lifestyle theory would benefit from including this notion of time and place.…”

Life Course Research and Social Policies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Life course research has been developing quickly these last decades for good reasons. Life course approaches focus on essential questions about individuals' trajectories, longitudinal analyses, cross-fertilization across disciplines like lifespan psychology, developmental social psychology, sociology of the life course, social demography, socio-economics, social history. Life course is also at the crossroads of several fields of specialization like family and social relationships, migration, education, professional training and employment, and health. This Series invites academic scholars to present theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances in the analysis of the life course, and to elaborate on possible implications for society and social policies applications.More information about this series at
