Latest database descriptions

To compare the prevalence of the obstructive ventilatory disorders (OVD) in the Urban Community of Dunkirk touched by the industrial pollution in relation to the one recovered in the Urban Community of Lille less industrialized.

The objectives of this cohort are: real-time integration of patients into a database- to generate real-time national and regional descriptive data for all patients with sarcoma - to provide national indicators of patient care and equal access to care and innovative treatments - to improve knowledge of rare tumours - to investigate the link between sarcomas and genetics.

The registry is the kingpin of the PNSM (National Program for Mesothelioma Surveillance) and forms the basic tool of the national system for epidemiological mesothelioma surveillance for the purposes of public health. This surveillance includes in particular:
- Estimation of national incidence: an incidence/mortality ratio is established on the basis of data from the départements covered by the registry and applied to national mortality data by age range, whole of France, with men and women considered separately.
- Improvement in the anatomopathological diagnosis of mesothelioma
- Description of the activity sectors and at-risk professions for mesothelioma in men: the economic activity sectors and professions are grouped according to the degree of pleural mesothelioma risk.
- Establishment of attributable fractions: the risk fraction attributable to occupational asbestos exposure in men has been put overall at 83.2% (CI 95%: 76.8-89.6); more in-depth analyses are in the pipeline.
- Evaluation of mesothelioma treatment as an occupational disease; this is another branch of systematic analysis because the level of recognition is insufficient overall.

The objective of our project is to develop, from the existing national tools, a national research infrastructure pooling the work to collect data and validate information and health events in the service of an epidemiological research program in the field of pediatric oncology addressing :
- the environnemental and genetic risk factors for childhood cancer,
- the differences in management and their social and territorial determinants,
- the iatrogenic effects of treatments,
- and more generally, the state of health in the short-, intermediate- and long-term of people experiencing childhood cancer and the determinants of their quality of life.
The project, closely connected with the pediatric oncology research of other disciplines, has, as a secondary objective, contributing to the sharing of data across disciplines.
