“…In our study, living between 300 m and 500 m seemed to be associated with decreased risk of breast cancer, whereas living within 300 m from an agricultural areas was associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Two recent case-control studies (Camille et al, 2017;Gómez-Barroso et al, 2016) living close to open crops in France (Camille et al, 2017). These associations could be explained by higher exposure to pesticides of those living close to agricultural areas.…”

“…Most of these mechanisms however, may stand for green spaces such as parks or forests, but may not for others such as agricultural areas. In fact, residential proximity to agricultural areas has been associated with increased risk of cancer (Camille et al, 2017;Gómez-Barroso et al, 2016).…”

“…Three of the compounds tested, all from the organochlorine family, which have been banned in most countries, including France, for several years, were detected at high concentrations in the hair of all three patients: hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorocyclohexane beta (HCHB) and 4,4′ dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (4,4′DDE). The possible link between brain tumors and pesticides has been investigated over the last few decades, but remains controversial [21, 22]. The collection of hair samples included in the FGB provides a potential source of information about the influence of pesticides on the process of GB development.…”

Background Glioblastomas (GB) are the most common and lethal primary brain tumors. Significant progress has been made toward identifying potential risk factors for GB and diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. However, the current standard of care for newly diagnosed GB, the Stupp protocol, has remained unchanged for over a decade. Large-scale translational programs based on a large clinicobiological database are required to improve our understanding of GB biology, potentially facilitating the development of personalized and specifically targeted therapies. With this goal in mind, a well-annotated clinicobiological database housing data and samples from GB patients has been set up in France: the French GB biobank (FGB). Methods The biobank contains data and samples from adult GB patients from 24 centers in France providing written informed consent. Clinical and biomaterial data are stored in anonymized certified electronic case report forms. Biological samples (including frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues, blood samples, and hair) are conserved in certified biological resource centers or tumor tissue banks at each participating center. Results Clinical data and biological materials have been collected for 1087 GB patients. A complete set of samples (tumor, blood and hair) is available for 66%, and at least one frozen tumor sample is available for 88% of the GB patients. Conclusions This large biobank is unique in Europe and can support the large-scale translational projects required to improve GB care. Additional biological materials, such as peritumoral brain zone and fecal samples, will be collected in the future, to respond to research needs.

“…These combined zones can generate special environments that allow the interaction of infectious agents, environmental, and occupational conditions that may have a space and time effect in the incidence of events such as CC. There is evidence that exposure to arsenic 30 and pesticides 31 – 33 is related to a greater risk of developing CC, especially leukemias, lymphomas and CNS tumors. The large area covered by the central cluster and its high relative risk is of concern and suggest the presence of an infectious or environmental factor strongly associated to the risk of CC, mainly non-leukemia, that is highly prevalent in this area compared to the remaining areas of the country.…”

Clustering of non-leukemia childhood cancer in Colombia: a nationwide study

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Childhood cancer is considered one the most important causes of death in children and adolescents, despite having a low incidence in this population. Spatial analysis has been previously used for the study of childhood cancer to study the geographical distribution of leukemias. This study aimed to identify the presence of space-time clusters of childhood of cancer excluding leukemia in Colombia between 2014 and 2017. Methods: All incident cancer cases (excluding leukemia) in children under the age of 15 years that had been confirmed by the National Surveillance System of Childhood Cancer between 2014 and 2017 were included. Kulldorf’s circular scan test was used to identify clusters using the municipality of residence as the spatial unit of analysis and the year of diagnosis as the temporal unit of analysis. A sensitivity analysis was conducted with different upper limit parameters for the at-risk population in the clusters. Results: A total of 2006 cases of non-leukemia childhood cancer were analyzed, distributed in 432 out of 1,122 municipalities with a mean annual incidence rate of 44 cases per million children under the age of 15. Central nervous system (CNS) tumors were the most frequent type. Two space-time clusters were identified in the central and southwest regions of the country. In the analysis for CNS tumors, a spatial cluster was identified in the central region of the country. Conclusions: The distribution of non-leukemia childhood cancer seems to have a clustered distribution in some Colombian regions that may suggest infectious or environmental factors associated with its incidence although heterogeneity in access to diagnosis cannot be discarded.
