Abstract Background The aim of this study is to assess the economic burden of active cancer in France and to analyze structure and trends of expenditure between 2012 and 2017. Methods Using information about 57 millions of individuals from the general scheme insurance database (86% of the French population) and applying 5 specifically developed medical algorithms (for lung, colon, breast, prostate and other cancers), we identified all people with active cancer. All reimbursed expenditure (hospitalization, ambulatory care, disability/sickness benefits) were extracted for each individual. To analyze trends, we applied the same methodology from 2012 through 2017. Results In 2016 (results for 2017 will be available for the conference), among the 137 billion euros reimbursed by the general assurance scheme, 13 billion (10%) were related to active cancer and 1.2 million people were concerned (2% of the population). About 2.3 billion euros (2%) were related to breast cancer (189,000 people), 1.4 billion euros (1%) for colon cancer (123,000 people), 1.4 billion euros (1%) for lung cancer (77,000 people) and 1 billion (0.8%) for prostate cancer (167,000 people). Hospitalizations represented the main expenditure for colon (71%), lung (61%) and breast cancer (56%). Concerning prostate cancer, hospitalizations stood for 36% while ambulatory care represented 62%. From 2012 to 2016, the expenditure related to active cancer increase by 4.4%/year due to both an increase in patients and in the average annual cost per patient (both +2.2% per year). Focusing on breast cancer, average expenditure increased by 3.2% per year from 10,700€ per year per patient to 12,200€ per year per patient. Conclusions Our study demonstrates the high economic burden of active cancer in France with a detailed analysis of expenditures. The developed tool will help to monitor the burden of these diseases and to implement public health policies. Key messages Active cancers account for a significant proportion of healthcare expenditure in France. Knowing this weight allows designing and implementing public policies adapted to the situation.

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to assess the economic burden of diabetes in France based on a top-down allocation of health care expenditure, and to analyze structure and trends of expenditure between 2012 and 2017. Methods Using information about 57 millions of individuals from the general scheme insurance database (87% of the French population), we applied algorithms based on ICD-10 diagnoses, long-term diseases, and specific treatments. All reimbursed expenditure (drugs, medical visit and other ambulatory care, hospitalization, disability/sickness benefits) were extracted for each individual. A top-down method was used to allocate expenditure to diabetes. To analyze trends, we applied the same methodology from 2012 through 2017. Results In 2016 (results for 2017 will be available for the conference), among the 137 billion euros reimbursed, 6.8 billion (5%) were attributed to diabetes and 3.2 million people were concerned (5.5% of the population). Drugs represented the main expenditure item (31% of the average annual expenditure per patient related to diabetes), followed by nursing (18%) and medical devices (17.5%). From 2012 to 2016, the number of people with diabetes increased by 11.4% (+322 700) with an increase by 2.7%/year, the expenditure attributed to diabetes increased by 2.3%/year. The average expenditure per patient in 2016 was about €2150, slightly decreasing from 2012, mainly due to price controls on antidiabetics drugs which permits to limit expenditure growth. Conclusions Our study shows the high economic burden of diabetes in France with a detailed analysis of expenditures and their main drivers. With the arrival of innovation and predicted increase of the number of patients partly related to ageing process, control of expenditure must be a priority. The developed tool will help decision makers to monitor the burden of diabetes but also to provide stakeholders with a better understanding of trends and regulating actions. Key messages Diabetes represents a high proportion of healthcare expenditure in France. With the arrival of innovation and predicted increase of the number of patients partly related to ageing process, control of expenditure must be a priority.

ObjectiveCancers result in significant economic burdens on patients, health sectors and society. Reliable burden estimates will help guide resource allocation. This study aimed to perform a nationwide cost analysis of the direct and indirect costs of the top ten most costly cancers, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as a comparison, in Taiwan.SettingA population-based cohort study.ParticipantsIn total, 545 221 patients with newly diagnosed cancer (lung cancer, female breast cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, oral cancer, leukaemia, prostate cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, gastric cancer and oesophageal cancer) and 170 879 patients with ACS between 2007 and 2014 were identified.Primary and secondary outcome measuresDirect medical costs were calculated from claims recorded in the National Health Insurance Research Database . Indirect costs, comprising morbidity-associated and mortality-associated productivity losses, were estimated from public life expectancy, average wage and employment data. The costs incurred in the 3 years after diagnosis were assessed. As a comparison, the cost of ACS was also estimated using the same study frame. A cost driver analysis was conducted to identify factors impacting cancer costs.ResultsThe cancers with the highest mean direct medical costs and total costs were leukaemia (US$28 464) and oesophageal cancer (US$81 775), respectively. Indirect costs accounted for over 50% of the total economic burden of most cancers, except for prostate cancer and female breast cancer. The costs of ACS were lower than those of most cancers. From the cost driver analysis, older age at diagnosis significantly (p<0.05) decreased the total cost of cancer; in contrast, male, tumour metastasis, comorbidities and treatment in medical centres increased the costs.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the comprehensive economic burden of the top 10 most costly cancers in Taiwan. These results are valuable for optimising healthcare resource allocation.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to assess the economic burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in France by analysing the structure and the growth of expenditure attributed to these diseases between 2012 and 2017. Methods For each year, 11 CVDs were identified from SNDS data using algorithms based on long-term disease registry and hospitalization diagnoses, applied to the population of national health insurance general scheme beneficiaries. The individuals’ expenditure (26 different items) reimbursed for hospitalisations, ambulatory care and cash payments were included. A top-down method was used to attribute expenditure to each considered groups of diseases based on the average expenditure by disease calculated for individuals with only one disease. To analyse trends, we applied the same methodology from 2012 to 2017. Results In 2017, of the €140.1 billion reimbursed, €14.0 billion (10.0%) were attributed to the care of 4.0 million people with a CVD (7.0% of the population). Short-stay hospitalisations accounted for 33% of this total expenditure. This proportion was higher for acute CVD (coronary syndrome: 64%, stroke: 56%, heart failure: 65%, pulmonary embolism: 69%) but also for valvular heart disease (50.0%). Medications represented almost 13% of the expenditure attributed to all CVDs, and up to 25% for chronic coronary heart disease. Disability pension essentially concerned sequelae of stroke (12% of the expenditure attributed to this disease). Between 2012 and 2017, the total expenditure attributed to CVDs increased by 3.3% per year, mainly due to the annual mean increase of the number of patients over the period (+3.1%). Conclusions These results demonstrate the high economic burden of CVDs in France with a detailed analysis of expenditures and their main drivers. The developed tool will help decision makers to monitor the burden of these diseases but also to provide stake holders with a better understanding of trends and regulating actions. Key messages Economic burden of CVD in France is high: 10% of healthcare expenditure. Implementation of public health policy to prevent CVD and control risk factors must be a priority.

AbstractProstate cancer affects a significant proportion of men worldwide. Evidence from genetic and clinical studies suggests that there may be a causal association between prostate cancer and the human papilloma virus (HPV). As HPV is a vaccine-preventable pathogen, the possibility of a role in prostate cancer causation may reinforce the importance of effective HPV vaccination campaigns. This is of particular relevance in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have considerable effects on HPV vaccine uptake and distribution.

Cancer patients vary in their comfort with the label “survivor”. Here, we explore how comfortable males with breast cancer (BC) are about accepting the label cancer “survivor”. Separate univariate logistic regressions were performed to assess whether time since diagnosis, age, treatment status, and cancer stage were associated with comfort with the “survivor” label. Of the 70 males treated for BC who participated in the study, 58% moderately-to-strongly liked the term “survivor”, 26% were neutral, and 16% moderately-to-strongly disliked the term. Of the factors we explored, only a longer time since diagnosis was significantly associated with the men endorsing a survivor identity (OR = 1.02, p = 0.05). We discuss how our findings compare with literature reports on the comfort with the label “survivor” for women with BC and men with prostate cancer. Unlike males with prostate cancer, males with BC identify as “survivors” in line with women with BC. This suggests that survivor identity is more influenced by disease type and treatments received than with sex/gender identities.

The CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300 are two paralogous lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) that were discovered in the 1980s–1990s. Since their discovery, CBP/p300 have emerged as important regulatory proteins due to their ability to acetylate histone and non-histone proteins to modulate transcription. Work in the last 20 years has firmly established CBP/p300 as critical regulators for nuclear hormone signaling pathways, which drive tumor growth in several cancer types. Indeed, CBP/p300 are critical co-activators for the androgen receptor (AR) and estrogen receptor (ER) signaling in prostate and breast cancer, respectively. The AR and ER are stimulated by sex hormones and function as transcription factors to regulate genes involved in cell cycle progression, metabolism, and other cellular functions that contribute to oncogenesis. Recent structural studies of the AR/p300 and ER/p300 complexes have provided critical insights into the mechanism by which p300 interacts with and activates AR- and ER-mediated transcription. Breast and prostate cancer rank the first and forth respectively in cancer diagnoses worldwide and effective treatments are urgently needed. Recent efforts have identified specific and potent CBP/p300 inhibitors that target the acetyltransferase activity and the acetytllysine-binding bromodomain (BD) of CBP/p300. These compounds inhibit AR signaling and tumor growth in prostate cancer. CBP/p300 inhibitors may also be applicable for treating breast and other hormone-dependent cancers. Here we provide an in-depth account of the critical roles of CBP/p300 in regulating the AR and ER signaling pathways and discuss the potential of CBP/p300 inhibitors for treating prostate and breast cancer.

This study aimed to explore efficient ways to diagnose bone metastasis early using bone scintigraphy images through negative mining, pre-training, the convolutional neural network, and deep learning. We studied 205 prostate cancer patients and 371 breast cancer patients and used bone scintigraphy data from breast cancer patients to pre-train a YOLO v4 with a false-positive reduction strategy. With the pre-trained model, transferred learning was applied to prostate cancer patients to build a model to detect and identify metastasis locations using bone scintigraphy. Ten-fold cross validation was conducted. The mean sensitivity and precision rates for bone metastasis location detection and classification (lesion-based) in the chests of prostate patients were 0.72 ± 0.04 and 0.90 ± 0.04, respectively. The mean sensitivity and specificity rates for bone metastasis classification (patient-based) in the chests of prostate patients were 0.94 ± 0.09 and 0.92 ± 0.09, respectively. The developed system has the potential to provide pre-diagnostic reports to aid in physicians’ final decisions.
