Incidence rates and trends of paediatric cancer in Italy, 2008–2017
While the study confirms overall stable incidence trends in Italy, it also highlights an increase in specific cancers such as melanoma and thyroid tumours in adolescents. Central Italy exhibited higher incidence rates, potentially due to environmental and/or diagnostic factors. Continuous monitoring and further research are needed to clarify regional variations and evaluate the impact of early diagnosis and environmental exposures.
