00:00In this issue, IOM photographs the tumour situation in Italy, stable and incident-prone compared to the previous year.
00:18Donations for 230,000 euros to Aesla to support research on SLA.
00:23APMAR turns 40 years old, from investigations and shock data on the quality of life of those who suffer from a rheumatological disease.
00:29Tumours, the library of life and now getting sick, reacting and living.
00:33Sex, roulette and not only, the advice of the psychoanalyst to prevent the phenomenon.
00:44In Italy, in 2024, about 390,000 new tumour diagnoses are estimated, numbers substantially stable compared to 2022-2023.
00:53This is the photograph taken at the new census, the numbers of cancer in Italy in 2024, of the Italian Association of Medical Oncology, IOM, presented in Rome at the Palazzo Baldassini.
01:03Despite our reluctance and our fear of giving positive news, today there are positive news.
01:11The estimated incidence of cancer, we think more and more accurately, thanks to the improvement of the coverage of tumour records, which now with Airtum cover 80% of the regional territory, the incidence has not increased compared to the last year.
01:26This is good news.
01:28Another good news is that the alarm spread in international media about the possibility that there is a phenomenon, cancer in young people out of control, is not confirmed in Italy.
01:40Because we have a reduction of mortality in those who get sick before the age of 50.
01:45The positive numbers that we have commented for the numbers of cancer in 2024 must be an incentive to do even better.
01:51In the sense that we are happy that the incidence has been substantially stabilized.
01:56We are happy that we even document an improvement of mortality in young people, thanks to the progress of prevention and therapies.
02:03But this must also be an incentive to do better.
02:05So do not give up on prevention, do not give up on screening efficiency, do not give up on research and improvement of the therapeutic offer for our patients.
02:1450% of citizens who today have neoplasia are destined to definitively overcome the disease.
02:20Not only does mortality decrease in the range between 20 and 49 years for neoplasia in both sexes, but more attention is needed to lifestyles.
02:28Alcohol, smoking, obesity and sedentary age are under accusation.
02:31Screening coverage improves, but there are still regional differences.
02:35Less cases than we expected, which presumably derives from some positive effects, such as the reduction of large intestine tumors, thanks also to the screening of the rectum,
02:47the continuation of a favorable progress for the stomach and lung, and also perhaps some reduction of the intensity of the PSA dosage,
02:55which is perhaps better in the younger age range, between 55 and 69 years, and less in the elderly.
03:01So, a series of favorable elements, which obviously do not tell us that we must lower the guard
03:07with respect to prevention and with respect to the attempt to reduce the incidence of these important diseases.
03:14UNITING HEARTS AND MINDS
03:17Uniting hearts and minds in the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, SLA.
03:22It is the intention of the Christmas Party, the final event of the Solidarity Christmas of Aisla,
03:27which has brought together volunteers, supporters, people with SLA and their families around a common goal, solidarity.
03:34Last November 21, a Solidarity campaign was launched in Rome with the live streaming La Promessa per la Ricerca,
03:40and during the Christmas Party an extraordinary achievement was announced.
03:44The funds raised have reached the figure of 230,000 euros, a concrete result and an example of collective commitment.
03:52SLA is an incurable disease, our only hope, and we entrust all our hopes to research.
03:59Therefore, everything that has been given to us will be dedicated to research, because it is not true that there is no cure,
04:06you just need to discover it.
04:08So I thank all those who have contributed to buy the chocolate, who have contributed to donate and have donated.
04:16With this little gesture you can make a huge difference, because you will give us a future.
04:24For the president of SLA Food, the promise made during the awareness campaign, that of the donation, was finally kept.
04:32This happens at a particular moment like Christmas, but my hope is that it happens all year round,
04:41so that there is a strong donation throughout the year, to give us the opportunity to change the history of this disease.
04:56Becoming part of an enlarged family is the meaning had by the Christmas Party for the director of Galbusera Tre Maria, Diego Ponasso.
05:03For our company it was a beautiful experience, because it makes us better as a company,
05:08doing an activity with SLA of this type, of this scope, but I have to tell you the truth, it also makes us better as people,
05:16because for the first time I really saw an involvement on the part of the people that I could never have imagined.
05:24Another goal of the evening, to launch a message of simplicity.
05:28We often sell the problems of others as something insurmountable, for us that we have nothing,
05:34instead the message that must pass is that having attention to others means sometimes looking with a simple eye
05:40and doing the right thing for them, which is our mirror, our consequence in some respects.
05:46Being together also goes beyond the table, but because of the dysphagia that often affects the sick,
05:52sometimes it is difficult to reach everyone.
05:54Therefore, on our part, the important thing is to try to create dishes, to help, to give ideas,
06:01so that all people can sit at the table together and enjoy a moment of sharing as the table requires.
06:09On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, LAPMAR, the National Association of People with Rare Rheumatological Diseases,
06:19APS and TS, has proposed, in collaboration with the Research Institute,
06:24the investigation of living with a rheumatological pathology, reached its fourth edition.
06:28A research carried out on a national sample of 1,627 people to investigate the impacts of rheumatological pathologies
06:34on the quality of life of those affected.
06:36As far as people affected by rheumatological pathologies are concerned,
06:39on the one hand, the criticisms, mainly from the point of view of the remodeling of the life project,
06:45the main effects on work, on sports, on everyday activities and also in the relational sphere with the partner.
06:53Among the main data collected, in fact, are those related to the quality of life of these people,
06:58after the diagnosis, which is worsened by almost 1 in 2,
07:01a percentage that rises to 53.2% in the age range between 65 and 75 years.
07:07Among the most affected areas, 71.7% of the work is affected,
07:10with more than 7 out of 10 people forced to leave or reduce their work activity,
07:14equal to 70.9% and with peaks that exceed 80% among those who received the diagnosis before 2000.
07:21They have water shares for rheumatological treatments,
07:24thanks to the development and the arrival, among therapeutic options, of biological drugs.
07:28They therefore follow sport, 38.9% and the affective and relational sphere, 32.8%.
07:34In this last case, more than half of the sample, 56.6%,
07:38declared to have had problems in the relationship with the partner following the diagnosis,
07:42with direct effects also compared to sexual intercourse, for over 3 out of 4.
07:46Problems that, fortunately, only in less than 1 case out of 5, have led to a distance.
07:52Anxiety and fear are the most common states of mind then,
07:56a quality of life that, as emerged from the investigation,
07:59is therefore for people affected by a rheumatological pathology still strongly restrained.
08:04For this reason, Dr. Nino Antonella Celano, President of APMAR,
08:07calls for targeted interventions with a strengthening of the national plan of chronicity
08:11and a constant commitment to guarantee the right to health to the over 5 million Italians
08:15affected by one of the over 150 rheumatological pathologies,
08:18so that the diagnosis is no longer worth a sentence,
08:21forcing people to have to change their life plans,
08:24with very high health and social costs.
08:27APMAR was born 40 years ago.
08:29It was born from a series of doctors and patients
08:33who wanted to do something to involve patients in health policies.
08:39We had been a bit far-sighted.
08:41Today we celebrate the 40th anniversary of APMAR,
08:44but it is not a point of arrival, it is always a starting point.
08:47There are certainly many problems on the table,
08:51but we also have the strength, the preparation and the ability to intervene.
08:57Our mission is to improve the quality of care
09:01to improve the quality of life of people affected by rare rheumatological pathologies,
09:05and it is in this area that we are moving.
09:15There are over 3.5 million people who live with a neoplasia in Italy.
09:20Those who receive a tumor diagnosis experience a trauma.
09:23The balance, up to that moment solid ground, breaks.
09:26It is a complex disease that does not concern only one person,
09:29but involves caregivers and friends and disrupts the family.
09:33But to regenerate, to find a balance during the disease
09:37and, above all, to come back to life is possible.
09:40With this optimistic spirit, Professor Gabriella Pravettoni
09:43and the scientific journalist and Director of Communication
09:46of the Italian Association for Medical Oncology, Mauro Bolvini,
09:50have written Life is Now.
09:52Get sick, regenerate, live.
09:54This book is aimed at everyone,
09:59and in particular at people who have had an oncological experience
10:04or are experiencing an oncological experience,
10:08both as patients and as caregivers,
10:11as friends of people who have had an oncological experience.
10:18Because it focuses on the importance of living today.
10:23And this is something that each of us should learn and understand
10:28in every moment of life.
10:31A book that can really be useful also for very young people
10:37to fully experience our existence,
10:41even when these experiences put us to the test with adversities.
10:47Thanks to the treatments available today,
10:50more than 50% of people affected by a tumor
10:53will be able to heal or at least live for many years
10:56with a disease that becomes chronic.
10:59After the time, which we have called the suspended time of the disease,
11:04it is possible to find the resources to go back and make a life project.
11:09So the disease can become an important moment of growth.
11:13It is therefore essential to face it,
11:16but to regenerate and go back to a professional life,
11:21a relationship with children, a relationship with a partner,
11:24a relationship with co-workers,
11:26to return to a normal life, because life is now.
11:35Sex Roulette, but also Calippo Tour or Chinotto Tour.
11:38These are the challenges, from the name too eloquent,
11:41to which more and more teenagers participate.
11:43However, these challenges can also have serious consequences
11:46on the rest of their lives, and not only.
11:48In particular, if it is about young girls,
11:50at risk of pregnancy in the first case,
11:52but also of getting sick from a sexually transmitted disease.
11:54And this can affect everyone, regardless.
11:57To increase the danger, then, in some versions,
11:59a positive advice to HIV also participates in the challenge.
12:02And no one, requisito tassativo, knows the identity of the others.
12:06The challenge, in fact, is launched through social channels.
12:09A group of teenagers is formed and parallel chats are created
12:12where young people intercede with each other to get along
12:14and to have a series of sexual relationships,
12:16absolutely without the use of the prophylactic.
12:18And all this is experienced by the participants as a game.
12:21The girl who remains pregnant, or who is HIV-positive,
12:23is lost and excluded, put aside.
12:26And it is not who lives in the periphery to be more at risk.
12:28The so-called Sex Roulette is a phenomenon that sinks the roots in the past.
12:32It would have been born in Belgrade, among rich billionaires bored,
12:34but then spread rather quickly in Spain and the United Kingdom.
12:38And reach, in more recent times, also Italy.
12:40Here, however, as the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Adelia Lucattini explains,
12:44if initially it represented a phenomenon related to psychopathology,
12:47which concerned teenagers with serious personality disorders
12:50or as the first manifestation of a mood disorder,
12:52today it has taken on completely different characteristics.
12:55It is epidemic because it intercepts the pulsing needs,
12:59the impulses of boys, but multiplies them thanks to the web.
13:03In addition, there is a depersonalization of relationships
13:07and therefore there is no real sexuality,
13:10but it is an experiment, like others,
13:13which, however, has a very serious risk for physical and mental health
13:17and is also a source of danger.
13:19But what is the Sex Roulette, guys?
13:22It is a challenge that intercepts the normal pulses of teenagers,
13:25but unhooks them from emotionality and affectivity.
13:28It enhances impulsivity and excitement, both mental and physical.
13:33This exposes them to very serious dangers,
13:36because they lose contact with reality,
13:39they expose themselves to situations they do not know,
13:42and all this is enhanced by a false sharing
13:47and by the illusion of being in a group that is not real,
13:50but virtual and often between strangers.
13:53What is the reason for all this?
13:55The need to experiment with teenagers
13:57intercepts a mechanical form of artificial, virtual intelligence
14:02that simulates, shows, but does not teach.
14:05The relational component is missing.
14:07As you cannot learn to speak from television,
14:10it is not possible to learn feelings, affectivity and love
14:15through videos and through an electronic tool.
14:19So these young people have an affective illiteracy.
14:23And how should we intervene then?
14:25It is important that there is direct contact with teenagers,
14:29a control over their electronic devices,
14:33an attention to their changes, to their emotions, to their needs,
14:37but also an education that is passed on from parents to children.
14:41The school can also have an educational role in this sense,
14:44of a sensitization to love as affection, tenderness,
14:49to being next to each other, real and not virtual.
14:53Parental control is absolutely necessary,
14:56not only to prevent access to the web,
14:58but above all a knowledge of the development of children
15:03who need to tame their emotions and impulses.
15:08And what else should be done for this to happen?
15:11Educate to a healthy, affective, emotional sexuality,
15:15preventing this overexposure to social media,
15:19of oversized images, often false,
15:24that give a mechanical and meaningless vision
15:28of such an important part of the teenage development
15:32and the life of human beings.
