Erratum: Measuring quality of life of Chinese cancer patients: A validation of the Chinese version of the functional assessment of cancer therapy-general (FACT-G) scale (Cancer (200) 88 (1715-1727))

BACKGROUND. To the authors' knowledge, limited data are available from Mediterranean populations concerning risk factors for malignant melanoma. A few Italian case-control studies have produced conflicting results regarding the association between malignant melanoma and pigmentary traits, sunburns, and melanocytic nevi. METHODS. A case-control study was conducted within the framework of the Italian Group for Epidemiologic Research in Dermatology (GISED). Twenty-seven centers in the north and south of Italy participated. A total of 542 cases and 538 controls were entered onto the study. A standardized questionnaire was administered to cases and controls. Cases and controls also were examined by trained dermatologists who were required to count the number of melanocytic nevi (those measuring ≥ 2 mm and > 6 mm in greatest dimension, separately) and to make judgments regarding pigmentary traits. RESULTS. In the multivariate analysis, eye and skin color, propensity to sunburn, history of sunburns before age 15 years, and solar lentigines all were associated with malignant melanoma. In addition, the risk of melanoma increased with the number of melanocytic nevi ≥ 2 mm. Nevi > 6 mm in greatest dimension had effects on risk that appeared to be independent from the effects of smaller nevi (2-6 mm). CONCLUSIONS. The results of the current study largely are similar to those obtained in northern European countries, the U.S., and Australia and provide further evidence of the importance of selected pigmentary traits, sun exposure, and the number of melanocytic nevi in the risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma.

Pigmentary traits, modalities of sun reaction, history of sunburns, and melanocytic nevi as risk factors for cutaneous malignant melanoma in the italian population : Results of a collaborative case-control study

BACKGROUND. Multilayered, low stretch bandages (MLB) combined with exercises, skin care, and manual lymphatic drainage therapy are recommended as an intensive phase of treatment for lymphedema patients. The relative efficacy of each of the components of this comprehensive treatment program have not been determined. This study aimed to compare the effect of multilayer bandaging as an initial phase of lymphedema treatment followed by elastic hosiery versus hosiery alone. METHODS. A randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial was undertaken in the setting of the Lymphedema Clinic, The Royal Marsden Hospital, London. Ninety women with unilateral lymphedema (of the upper or lower limbs) were enrolled in the study. The interventions consisted of 18 days of multilayer bandaging followed by elastic hosiery or hosiery alone, each for a total period of 24 weeks. The main outcome measure was the percentage reduction in excess limb volume. RESULTS. The reduction in limb volume by MLB followed by hosiery was approximately double that from hosiery alone and was sustained over the 24-week period. The mean overall percentage reduction at 24 weeks was 31% (n = 32) for MLB versus 15.8% (n = 46) for hosiery alone, for a mean difference of 15.2% (95% confidence interval, 6.2-24.2) (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS. Multilayer bandaging as an initial phase of treatment for lymphedema patients, followed by hosiery, achieves greater and more sustained limb volume reduction than hosiery alone. </p
