Patrones de alimentación y crecimiento de los niños prematuros a los 3-4 años de vida / Feeding and growth patterns in preterm children at 3-4 years of age

Objetivo: describir el patrón de alimentación y crecimiento de los niños prematuros en edad preescolar, incluyendo los problemas de alimentación basados en sus conductas y habilidades, la calidad de la dieta y el afrontamiento de sus padres. Métodos: estudio transversal de niños prematuros nacidos en Asturias en 2016 (n = 94). A los 3-4 años se contactó con las familias y se utilizó el cuestionario Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale para identificar problemas en la alimentación, y el índice KIDMED para resumir la calidad de la dieta. También se recopilaron datos antropométricos autoinformados para evaluar el crecimiento ponderal. Se revisaron las historias clínicas electrónicas para recopilar información gestacional y neonatal. Resultados: el 7,4 % de los niños y el 20,2 % de los padres presentaron problemas relacionados con la alimentación infantil. El 25,5 % tenían un patrón dietético de alta calidad. En los prematuros < 32 semanas se identificaron más conductas alimentarias alteradas, disminuyendo su frecuencia al incrementarse su edad gestacional (p = 0,030). No se observaron diferencias en las conductas de los padres (p = 0,455), ni en la calidad de la dieta según la edad gestacional (p = 0,399), pero sí en el peso, que fue menor en los muy prematuros (p = 0,015). Conclusiones: el patrón de alimentación de los prematuros a los 3-4 años y las estrategias de sus padres fueron adecuados, y la calidad de la dieta moderada. Es importante un adecuado seguimiento de los prematuros con menor edad gestacional, ya que presentaron más dificultades en la alimentación y menor peso.

Aim: to describe the feeding and growth patterns of preterm-born children at preschool age, considering feeding problems based on behaviours and skills, diet quality and parental feeding practices. Methods: a cross-sectional study was performed on preterm children born in Asturias (Spain) in 2016 (n = 94). When preterm-born children reached 3-4 years of age their families were asked to complete the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale and a food frequency questionnaire to identify possible feeding problems and assess diet quality (KIDMED index), respectively. Self-reported anthropometric data were also collected to assess weight growth. Electronic health records were reviewed to gather gestational and neonatal clinical data. Results: feeding problems were found in 7.4 % of children and 20.2 % of parents. According to the KIDMED index, 25.5 % of children had a high-quality diet. Feeding problems were higher in children born before 32 weeks of gestation, and decreased in frequency as the gestational age increased (p = 0.030). No differences were found in parental feeding practices (p = 0.455) or diet quality according to gestational age (p = 0.399), but body weight at 3-4 years was lower in preterm-born children (p = 0.015). Conclusions: feeding patterns of preterm-born children were suitable at the age of 3-4 years, but diet quality was moderate to poor in the majority of children. Follow-up of very preterm children beyond 3-4 years of age becomes necessary as they displayed more feeding problems and lower body weight. (AU)

[Nut consumption and cognitive function: a systematic review]. / Consumo de frutos secos y función cognitiva: una revisión sistemática.

INTRODUCTION: Antioxidant-rich diet patterns could contribute to the prevention and treatment of early stages of dementia. Nuts have an appreciable antioxidant load and there is evidence of their positive effects on several chronic diseases incidence and death rates. Moreover, they are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which might also play a positive role in neurogenesis. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the evidence from studies related to the effects of nut consumption on cognitive function among adults. We conducted a systematic search of articles published in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 19 articles met the inclusion criteria (seven cross-sectional, four prospective cohorts and eight experimental); these were independently extracted and reviewed by two reviewers. The evidence from the cross-sectional and cohort studies was uncertain, due to the disparity of results and risk of bias. However, in most experimental studies a protective effect of nut consumption on some dimension of cognitive function was observed and the methodological quality of these studies was acceptable. In addition, the effects appear to be independent of nut type, amount of intake, age and baseline status of subjects. In summary, these results suggest that the inclusion of daily nut consumption in the healthy diet pattern of adults could have positive effects on their cognitive function. Nevertheless, more well-designed longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to provide strength to this suggestive evidence.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los patrones dietéticos ricos en antioxidantes podrían contribuir a la prevención y el tratamiento de las fases previas de demencia. Los frutos secos tienen una apreciable carga antioxidante y hay evidencia de sus efectos beneficiosos sobre la incidencia de varias enfermedades crónicas y las tasas de mortalidad general. Además, son ricos en ácidos grasos polinsaturados, que también parecen desempeñar un papel positivo en la neurogénesis. El objetivo de esta revisión fue resumir la evidencia de los estudios relacionados con los efectos del consumo de frutos secos sobre la función cognitiva en personas adultas. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de artículos publicados en PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science. Un total de 19 artículos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión (siete transversales, cuatro de cohortes y ocho experimentales), que fueron extraídos y revisados de forma independiente por dos revisores. La evidencia proveniente de los estudios transversales y de cohortes resultó incierta, por la disparidad de resultados y su riesgo de sesgo. Sin embargo, en la mayoría de estudios experimentales se observó un efecto protector del consumo de frutos secos sobre alguna dimensión de la función cognitiva, y la calidad metodológica de estos fue aceptable. Además, los efectos parecen independientes del tipo de fruto seco, la cantidad ingerida, la edad y el estado basal de los consumidores. En resumen, estos resultados sugieren que incluir el consumo diario moderado de algún fruto seco en la dieta saludable de las personas adultas podría tener efectos beneficiosos sobre su función cognitiva. No obstante, son necesarios más estudios observacionales longitudinales y experimentales bien diseñados, que proporcionen firmeza a esta evidencia, hasta la fecha sugestiva y de una calidad moderadamente baja.

Examining subgroup effects by socioeconomic status of public health interventions targeting multiple risk behaviour in adolescence.

BACKGROUND: Multiple risk behaviour (MRB) refers to two or more risk behaviours such as smoking, drinking alcohol, poor diet and unsafe sex. Such behaviours are known to co-occur in adolescence. It is unknown whether MRB interventions are equally effective for young people of low and high socioeconomic status (SES). There is a need to examine these effects to determine whether MRB interventions have the potential to narrow or widen inequalities. METHODS: Two Cochrane systematic reviews that examined interventions to reduce adolescent MRB were screened to identify universal interventions that reported SES. Study authors were contacted, and outcome data stratified by SES and intervention status were requested. Risk behaviour outcomes alcohol use, smoking, drug use, unsafe sex, overweight/obesity, sedentarism, peer violence and dating violence were examined in random effects meta-analyses and subgroup analyses conducted to explore differences between high SES and low SES adolescents. RESULTS: Of 49 studies reporting universal interventions, only 16 also reported having measured SES. Of these 16 studies, four study authors provided data sufficient for subgroup analysis. There was no evidence of subgroup differences for any of the outcomes. For alcohol use, the direction of effect was the same for both the high SES group (RR 1.26, 95% CI: 0.96, 1.65, p = 0.09) and low SES group (RR 1.14, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.32, p = 0.08). The direction of effect was different for smoking behaviour in favour of the low SES group (RR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.66, 1.03, p = 0.09) versus the high SES group (RR 1.16, 95% CI: 0.82, 1.63, p = 0.39). For drug use, the direction of effect was the same for both the high SES group (RR 1.29, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.73, p = 0.08) and the low SES group (RR 1.28, 95% CI: 0.84, 1.96, p = 0.25). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of studies identified did not report having measured SES. There was no evidence of subgroup difference for all outcomes analysed among the four included studies. There is a need for routine reporting of demographic information within studies so that stronger evidence of effect by SES can be demonstrated and that interventions can be evaluated for their impact on health inequalities.

[Public health competencies and contents of Nursing degree programs in Spanish universities]. / Competencias y contenidos de Salud Pública del Grado de Enfermería en las universidades españolas.

OBJECTIVE: The Forum of Public Health University Teachers aims to update the Public Health training in the degree studies. The aim was to determine the competences and basic contents of Public Health of Nursing Degree in Spain according to the criterion of the university academic staff. METHODS: Qualitative study, based on the nominal group technique. The snowball sampling was used to recruit Public Health professors of the Nursing degree, with full time dedication and preferably of the area of Preventive Medicine and Public Health. Finally, 17 professors from 11 public universities participated, who formed the Forum of University Professors of Public Health of the Nursing Degree, which was held at the University of Barcelona. RESULTS: Nursing professors selected 43 of the 80 competences which are recognized for Public Health professionals. The majority corresponded to the functions 'Assessing population health needs' and 'Developing health policies'. Professors also got to agree about 47 issues organized in 7 blocks, with contents on introduction of Public Health, demography, health determinants, epidemiology of communicable and non-communicable diseases, health systems and health management, and health promotion and education for health. CONCLUSIONS: The university teachers agreed on Public Health competencies and contents suitable for the Nursing Degree. This consensus constitutes a reference to elaborate educational guides of Public Health for Nursing Degree.

Actitudes sexistas y reconocimiento del maltrato en parejas jóvenes / Sexist attitudes and recognition of abuse in young couples

OBJETIVO: Explorar la asociación entre las actitudes de rol de género y el reconocimiento del maltrato en jóvenes. DISEÑO: Estudio transversal. Emplazamiento: Cincuenta y siete centros de educación secundaria, formación profesional y universitaria de 5 provincias españolas (Huelva, Sevilla, A Coruña, Pontevedra y Asturias). PARTICIPANTES: Un total de 4.337 estudiantes de entre 15 y 26 años (40,6% chicos y 59,4% chicas) que mantuvieron una relación de pareja durante un mes o más. Mediciones principales: Se utilizó la Escala de Actitudes de Rol de Género, con 20 indicadores de actitudes igualitarias o sexistas a nivel familiar, social y laboral. También se estudió si la persona estaba en una situación de maltrato percibido (MP), maltrato no percibido (MNP) o no maltrato (NM). RESULTADOS: En el conjunto de la muestra, el 68,6% se declaró NM, el 26,4% vivía una situación de MNP y el 5,0% reconoció sufrir maltrato. El MP fue más frecuente entre las chicas (6,3%), en los/as ≥ 18 años (6,4%) y en el alumnado universitario (6,9%). El MNP fue más habitual en los chicos (30,2%). Las actitudes más sexistas se encontraron en la dimensión laboral, y especialmente en varones y en adolescentes (15-17 años). Las actitudes menos sexistas se asociaron con menor probabilidad de vivir situaciones de MNP (odds ratio = 0,71; p-tendencia < 0,001). CONCLUSIONES: El sexismo parece dificultar el reconocimiento del maltrato. Lograr la equidad de género en la adolescencia y juventud es imprescindible. Los esfuerzos deberían centrarse en los varones, por ser el grupo con actitudes más sexistas y con mayor prevalencia de MNP

AIM: To explore the association between gender-role attitudes and the recognition of abuse among adolescents and young adults during dating relationships. DESIGN: Cross-correlation study. LOCATION: 57 schools of secondary education, vocational education and university in five provinces of Spain (Huelva, Seville, A Coruña, Pontevedra and Asturias). PARTICIPANTS: 4,337 students aged between 15 and 26 years (40.6% males and 59.4% female) who had a dating relationship that lasted more than a month. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The Gender Role Attitudes Scale was used, which consists of 20 indicators of egalitarian or sexism attitudes at the family, social and occupational level. The students also reported whether they suffered from recognized abuse (RA), unperceived abuse (UPA), or not abused (NA). RESULTS: In the whole sample, 68.6% declared themselves NA, 26.4% were under a situation of UPA, and 5.0% were RA. The RA group was more frequent among the females (6.3%), ≥ 18 years (6.4%) and university students (6.9%). UPA was more common in males (30.2%). The most sexist attitudes were found in the occupational dimension and especially in men and adolescents (15-17 years). Less sexist attitudes were associated with a lower probability of experiencing UPA (odds ratio = .71; P-trend < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Sexism seems to hinder the recognition of abuse. Achieving gender equity in adolescence and youth is imperative. Public health efforts should focus on men, as they constitute the group with more sexist attitudes and with higher prevalence of UPA

Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y peso corporal en mujeres supervivientes al cáncer de mama / Health-related quality of life and body weight in female survivors of breast cancer

Objetivo. La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) representa la percepción del bienestar en varias esferas. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue explorar la asociación entre la masa corporal y la CVRS de las mujeres en seguimiento de cáncer de mama, tanto en la esfera mental como física. Método. Estudio transversal sobre pacientes a seguimiento por cáncer de mama de la Unidad de Patología Mamaria del Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias. Se incluyeron 277 mujeres a las que se les realizó el cuestionario SF-12 de CVRS. Se midió el índice de masa corporal con métodos estandarizados. Las esferas física y mental del SF-12 se estandarizaron según la norma española (media 50 puntos, desviación estándar 10). La asociación entre el componente físico y mental de la CVRS y el peso corporal se analizó utilizando regresiones lineales ajustadas a los principales confusores. Resultados. Se evidenció un 32,5% de sobrepeso y un 10,1% de obesidad. La media en la esfera física fue de 46,6 (intervalo de confianza al 95% 45,7-47,7) y la mental, de 33,3 (intervalo de confianza al 95% 45,5-47,7). El exceso de peso se asoció de forma estadísticamente significativa con una menor puntuación en la esfera física. Conclusiones. En comparación con la CVRS de la población general española, la de las pacientes con cáncer de mama fue menor tanto en la esfera física como en la mental. La obesidad se relacionó con una menor puntuación física, por lo que hay que promover el control del peso corporal

Objective. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is the perception of wellbeing in different dimensions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body weight and the mental and physical domains of HRQL in women with breast cancer. Method. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 277 women with breast cancer followed up by the Breast Cancer Unit of the Central University Hospital of Asturias. All participants completed the SF-12 questionnaire. Body mass index was measured using standardised methods. The mental and physical domains of the SF-12 were standardised to the Spanish general population (average 50 points, standard deviation 10). The association between the physical and mental components of HRQL and body weight was analysed using linear regressions adjusted to the main confounders. Results. A total of 32.5% of the patients were overweight and 10.1% were obese. The average score was 46.6 (95% confidence interval 45.7-47.7) on the physical domain and 33.3 (95% confidence interval 45.5-47.7) on the mental domain. Excess weight showed a statistically significant association with a lower score in the physical domain. Conclusions. In comparison with HRQL in the general Spanish population, HRQL in women with breast cancer was lower in both the physical and mental domains. Obesity was associated with lower physical scores. Consequently, control of body weight is recommended

[Evaluation of process of an educational web-based and mobile phone-based program for encouraging healthy behaviours among Spanish and Mexican students]. / Evaluación del proceso de un programa realizado a través de Internet y de la telefonía móvil para promover conductas saludables en estudiantes de educación secundaria de España y México.

BACKGROUND: Current communication technologies can be used in health education. The aim was to assess the process of an online program designed to prevent cancer risk behaviours using an educational website and mobile phones. METHODS: High school students from Spain and Mexico were recruited during 3 academic years (2009-12) to participate in a web-based program supplemented with mobile phone messages (SMS) which aim was to prevent cancer risk behaviours. The program was designed as a randomized trial, with control and experimental group (EG). Recruitment and adherence were analyzed using data of the Web management platform and Google Analytics. RESULTS: 3,855 students started the logging on the program of which 2,001 (51.9%) completed the questionnaire.77.5% were Mexicans, 13 years old (40.6%), with good academic level (68.7%) and with parents (49.6%) and mothers (53.9%) having university degree. 56.4% recorded a phone number to receive SMS. The EG consisted of 1,014 students and the averages of their visits to the website were 31.6 in the first year, 21.8 in the second and 21.9 in the third. Each adolescent of the EG was able to incorporate 1.16 adults (total 1,172) and other 1,076 were recorded spontaneously. Retention rate at the end of follow-up was 41.5% and was higher among those who were best students (OR: 12,5), Mexicans (OR: 4.4), 12 years old (OR: 3.1) and have been incorporated in the first three months of the implementation (OR: 2.8). CONCLUSION: Students' recruitment and retention was scarce, mainly in Spain. However students involved visited the program website with sufficient amount of time to achieve good results.

Evaluación del proceso de un programa realizado a través de internet y de la telefonía para promover conductas saludables en estudiantes de educación secundaria de España y México / Evaluation of process of an educational web-based and mobile phone-based program for encouraging healthy behaviours among spanish and mexican students

Fundamentos: Internet y la telefonía móvil forman parte de la tecnología más reciente que puede utilizarse en la educación para la salud. El objetivo fue evaluar el proceso de un programa para prevenir conductas de riesgo de cáncer implementado a través de internet y telefonía móvil. Métodos: Durante tres cursos académicos del período 2009-12 se seleccionó a estudiantes de secundaria de España y México para participar en un programa en línea suplementado con el envío de mensajes al teléfono móvil (SMS) cuyo objetivo era prevenir conductas de riesgo de cáncer. La intervención fue diseñada como un ensayo aleatorizado, con un grupo experimental (GE) y un grupo control. Se midieron el reclutamiento y la retención utilizando las herramientas de la plataforma de gestión de la web y de Google Analytics. Resultados: 3.855 estudiantes iniciaron el registro en el programa de los cuales 2.001 (51,9%) completaron el cuestionario. 77,5% fueron mexicanos, de 13 años (40,6%), de buen nivel académico (68,7%) y con padres (49,6%) y madres (53,9%) universitarios. El 56,4% registró un número de teléfono para recibir SMS. El GE estuvo formado por 1.014 estudiantes y la media de sus visitas a la web fue 31,6 en el primer curso, 21,8 en el segundo y 21,9 en el tercero. Las duraciones medias fueron, respectivamente, 11:02, 8:07 y 12:55 minutos. Cada adolescente del GE logró incorporar a 1,16 adultos (total1.172) y otros 1.076 se registraron espontáneamente. La tasa de retención de los estudiantes del GE fue 41,5% al final del seguimiento y fue mayor entre quienes tenían mejor nivel académico (OR:12,5), eran mexicanos (OR:4,4), tenían 12 años (OR: 3,1) y habían sido incorporados durante el primer trimestre del curso (OR: 2,8). Conclusión: El reclutamiento y la retención de estudiantes fueron escasos, especialmente en España. No obstante, los estudiantes que participaron visitaron la web del programa, en teoría durante un tiempo suficiente para lograr buenos resultados preventivos(AU)

Violencia de género en estudiantes de enfermería durante sus relaciones de noviazgo / Gender violence in nursing students during their dating relationships

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de violencia de género (VG) en futuras enfermeras e identificar su relación con variables sociodemográficas y personales (apoyo social y autoestima) y la percepción que tienen sobre su función como profesionales de atención primaria. Diseño: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Emplazamiento: Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud (Universidad de Oviedo). Participantes: Estudiantes del Grado en Enfermería. Mediciones principales: Se utilizó el cuestionario CUVINO, que mide 42 indicadores conductuales y 8 factores de VG y permite identificar conductas de violencia técnica y declarada durante el noviazgo y otras situaciones relacionadas. Se midió también el nivel de autoestima social, el número de apoyos y variables relacionadas con la función enfermera. Resultados: Con criterio de «tolerancia cero», el 85,8% sufrió alguna situación de violencia técnica, mayoritariamente por «desapego» (73,3%) y «coerción» (66,3%), aunque casi 1 de cada 5 sufrió también violencia «física» (18,3%). El 9,0% declaró haber sido realmente maltratada, percepción relacionada con la proporción global de estudiantes que se sintieron atrapadas (31,7%, p < 0,001) y con miedo (13,8%, p < 0,001) y con una mayor demora en la ruptura de la relación (13,2 meses vs. 3,6; p < 0,05). Sufrir violencia técnica se asoció con menor número de apoyos (p < 0,05) y con menor autoestima social (p < 0,01). La formación en maltrato mejora su reconocimiento. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de situaciones de maltrato entre las futuras enfermeras es muy elevada y su reconocimiento deficiente. La formación académica podría mejorar la percepción del problema, por lo que sería deseable reforzar su inclusión en el currículo y el entrenamiento de habilidades concretas (AU)

Aim: To determine the prevalence of gender violence (GV) suffered by student nurses and to identify its relationship with some sociodemographic and personal variables (social support and self-esteem) and their perception about their role as primary care providers. Design: Cross-sectional study. Location: Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (University of Oviedo). Participants: Nursing students. Main measurements: The CUVINO questionnaire was used. It measures 42 behavioral indicators and 8 GV factors and allows to identify technical and perceived violence during courtship and other related situations. The level of social self-esteem, support and variables related with the nursing role were also measured. Results: Using the standard of “zero tolerance”, 85.8% suffered technical violence, mainly by “detachment” and “coercion” (73.3%), while almost 1 in 5 also suffered “physical” violence (18.3%). A lower percentage (9.0%) reported having been really ill-treated, perception related to the global proportion of students who felt trapped (31.7%, P <0.001), felt fear (13.8%, P <0.001) and a further delay in breaking the relationship (13.2 months vs. 3.6; P <0.05). Suffering technical violence was associated with less social support (P <0.05) and less social self-esteem (P <0.01). Academic training in GV improves recognition. Conclusions: The prevalence of GV situations between student nurses is very high and recognition is poor. Academic training could improve the perception of the problem, thus it would be desirable to strengthen its inclusion in the university curriculum, together with specific skills training (AU)

[Survival analysis in multiple cancer patients in Asturias, Spain, 1975-2004]. / Análisis de la supervivencia en pacientes con cáncer múltiple, Asturias, 1975-2004.

BACKGROUND: Almost one in ten survivors of cancer suffers a second primary. Some studies try to clarify the causes, but there are few that study the time variable. Our research aim was to describe this variable in multiple cancer (MC) patients and to detect others associated with time without MC and survival. METHODS: We performed a descriptive study, and the Kaplan Meyer method and Cox Regression were used to study the patients with MC included in the tumour registry of the reference hospital of Asturias. RESULTS: Time between the first symptom and diagnosis was significantly reduced in the second tumour when compared with the first one (113 to 88 days). Time between the first two tumours (median=2.93 years) and the risk of an earlier second primary was higher in older people (RR=1.03) with: primaries diagnosed in advanced stage (RR=1.55), treated with palliative surgery (RR=2.67) or chemotherapy (RR=1.51); second neoplasm located in the prostate (RR=1.67). 60.9% survived at least 5 years after the first diagnosis and 19.1% after the second. These probabilities decreased with age (RR=1.04) and advanced stages (RR=2.48). Nevertheless, locations with good prognosis (prostate, breast or skin) and almost any treatment with surgery or radiotherapy increase survival. CONCLUSION: Physicians should be alert to new cancer symptoms in patients with previous neoplasms during the follow-up period to improve early MC diagnosis. Survival in MC patients is acceptable, and it largely depends on the location and stage of the cancer involved, but also upon the strategy of treatment.

Análisis de la supervivencia en pacientes con cáncer múltiple. Asturias, 1975-2004 / Survival analysis in multiple cancer patients in Asturias, Spain, 1975-2004

Fundamento. Casi uno de cada diez supervivientes de cáncer sufre un segundo primario. Algunos estudios intentan clarificar las causas pero escasean los que estudian la variable tiempo. Nuestro objetivo fue describir esta variable en pacientes con cáncer múltiple (CM) y detectar otras asociadas con el tiempo libre de CM y la supervivencia. Métodos. Se diseñó un estudio descriptivo y se utilizaron el método de Kaplan Meyer y la Regresión de Cox para estudiar los pacientes con CM incluidos en el registro de tumores del Hospital Central de Asturias. Resultados. El tiempo ‘primer síntoma-diagnóstico’ se redujo significativamente del primer al segundo cáncer (de 113 a 88 días). El tiempo entre los dos primeros cánceres (mediana=2,93 años) fue menor en las personas de más edad (RR=1,03), con cánceres primarios avanzados (RR=1,55), tratados con cirugía paliativa (RR=2,67) o quimioterapia (RR=1,51) y con un segundo cáncer localizado en la próstata (RR=1,67). El 60,9% sobrevivió más de 5 años desde el primer diagnóstico y el 19,1% desde el segundo. Estas probabilidades disminuyeron con la edad (RR=1,04) y estadios avanzados (RR=2,48), sin embargo, localizaciones con buen pronóstico (próstata, mama y piel) y casi cualquier tratamiento quirúrgico o radiológico aumentan la supervivencia. Conclusión. Los médicos deben estar alerta ante nuevos síntomas de cáncer en pacientes con neoplasias previas durante su periodo de seguimiento para mejorar el diagnóstico precoz del CM. La supervivencia en estos pacientes depende en gran medida de la localización y estadio del cáncer implicado, pero también del tipo de tratamiento (AU)
