ABSTRACT
Introduction: HPV infection is a common risk factor for all anogenital cancers. However, there are important differences in the epidemiology of anogenital cancers and these have not been compared considering diverse epidemiological indicators over a long period of time. To fill this gap, we investigated incidence, mortality, and survival trends of anogenital cancers over a period of three decades. Methods: We conducted an observational registry-based study using data from the population-based cancer registry of Granada in southern Spain. We collected data on all incident cases of anogenital cancer (cervical, anal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal cancer) diagnosed between 1985 and 2017. We calculated crude and age-standardized incidence and mortality rates, and 1, 3, and 5-year overall and net survival. We further conducted time-trend analysis calculating annual percent changes (APC) for each cancer site. Results: The incidence of anogenital cancers decreased slightly during the past 30 years, with the exception of vulvar cancer, where a slight increase was observed. Mortality decreased significantly for cervical cancer over the study period but increased non-significantly for the remaining cancer sites. Survival rates were similar to those reported in comparable countries and increased for cervical and vulvar cancer. Discussion: Cervical cancer was the greatest contributor to the burden of anogenital cancers and showed a marked improvement in all indicators in comparison to the remaining cancer sites.

La neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1) o enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen es un trastorno hereditario caracterizado por la aparición de lesiones en la piel y por un mayor riesgo de neoplasias tanto benignas como malignas, siendo las más frecuentes los gliomas intracraneales. Está demostrado que las pacientes menores de 50 años con NF1 pueden tener entre 5 y 11 veces aumentado el riesgo de padecer cáncer de mama. Presentamos el caso de una paciente portadora de la mutación diagnosticada de cáncer de mama unilateral tratada en nuestro centro. Para ello realizamos una actualización y revisión de la asociación entre la NF1 y el cáncer de mama. (AU)
Type I neurofibromatosis (NF1) or von Recklinghausens disease is a hereditary disease characterized by skin lesions and increased risk of benign and malignant tumors, especially intracranial gliomas. Patients younger than 50 with NF1 have increased risk of breast cancer. Here we present a case of a NF1 patient diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer at our institution. We also review the evidence of the association between NF1 and breast cancer. (AU)

Las reacciones a la vacuna contra el virus causante de la actual pandemia del covid-19 están todavía en estudio. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de edad avanzada que, tras la administración de dicha vacuna en el brazo izquierdo, desarrolla 24 horas después una mastitis en la mama ipsilateral. Ningún caso previo ha sido descrito en la literatura. (AU)
Reactions to the vaccine against the virus causing the current pandemic are still under investigation. We present the case of an elderly woman who, after administration of the vaccine in the left arm, developed mastitis in the ipsilateral breast 24 h later. No previous case has been described in the literature. (AU)
