Persone vive dopo una diagnosi di tumore in età pediatrica- in "I TUMORI IN ITALIA - RAPPORTO 2014 Prevalenza e guarigione da tumore in Italia"

Cancer survival is increasing in Italy with the corollary that the proportion of people with a (past) diagnosis of cancer is growing (i.e., total cancer prevalence). The group of prevalent cases includes several categories of survivors: those recently diagnosed and undergoing primary treatment, those in remission who may or may not be cured and may be receiving rehabilitation interventions, those receiving treatment for relapse, and those receiving end-of-life care.1 Different ways to estimate the proportion of patients included in each of the previous cited categories can be adopted by population- based cancer registries (CRs).
