– in Valencia about 300 new cases occur each year

, advances in molecular biology allow know certain mechanisms involved in the development of renal tumors

Valencia, 2011-September EVES (Valencian School of health studies) has organized a seminar on oncology that involved a group of specialists in this discipline that have dealt with issues surrounding renal cancersuch as the situation of the disease, progress on diagnosis and new existing pharmacological treatments.

The director of the EVES, Joaquín Ibarra, has pointed out in his inaugural speech to “ the day aims to discuss the biological, epidemiological and clinical aspects of renal cancer with different available treatments, the studies that are supported, their mechanisms of action, efficacy and toxicity ”.

Currently, Spain kidney cancer incidence varies from a regions to others, but on the whole is approximately 10 cases per every 100,000 men and 4 for every 100,000 females, which represents about 3,000 new cases a year in total and more than 300 only in Valencia.

“ The incidence of this type of tumor is increasing in the past 30 years, in part by the generalization of the abdominal diagnostic tests that determine the incidental tumor diagnosis, as well as environmental factors such as pollution, tobacco “, points out Dr. Miguel Angel Climent, of the IVO Hospital of Valencia and Vocal of the group Spanish of Genitourinaria Oncology (SOGUG).

Renal cancer corresponds to 3% of all diagnosed cancers and 2% of mortality from cancer, adds Dr. Climent.

The patient who suffers kidney cancer is “ typically a person in the sixth or seventh decade of life, more often male, and smoking, but it is not uncommon to see people with a completely different profile, as for example a woman in the fourth decade of life and non-smoker ”, says Dr. Gaspar Reynés, oncologist of University Hospital and Polytechnic La Fe of Valencia. “ Has no doubt changed is that in recent years are diagnosed more patients in early stages of the disease, partly by finds casual to perform a test of image or an analysis otherwise ”, according to the expert.

In his healing, the probability is closely tied to the spread of the disease at the time of diagnosis, so in the case of small tumors confined to the own kidney 5-year survival is more than 90 %, while those scattered at a distance, the 5-year survival is less than 10%; In addition, other factors play forecasts both clinical and biological, according to Dr. Reynés. “ globally, the 5-year survival has improved in the last half a century, from 40% to 65% approximately ”, has added the specialist.

New treatments

On this day, framed in the discussion forums organized by EVES on current health issues, and which are directed generally to specialists in different health areas, experts have also featured new treatments in this type of cancer.

Thus, in the opinion of Dr. Mariló Torregrosa, oncologist of the Hospital Lluís Alcanyís in Xàtiva, “ the treatment of renal tumors has undergone an important change in recent years ”. “ Thanks to advances in molecular biology ”, has been added, “ know some of the mechanisms involved in the development of renal tumors; block them, through mechanisms of action different chemotherapy drugs, has managed to prolong survival in this pathology ”.

Torregrosa had concluded that “ in the not distant future can individualize treatments, modifying the natural history of the disease ”.

Dr. Isabel Chirivella, oncologist of Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia, has indicated that “ in recent years have developed new drugs that have changed radically treatment of metastases of this tumor, achieving an improvement in the quality of life of these people and an increase in survival ”.

Mediosysida is young journalists to improve information on HIV and AIDS in Spain

Mediosysida form to young journalists to improve information on HIV and AIDS in Spain

according to the latest study by Mediosysida and the Institute of communication from the UAB, yet 36% of the information about the pandemic confuse the terms HIV and AIDS.

Barcelona, September 2011.- since that in 2006, Mediosysida made the first study about the treatment of HIV and AIDS in the media of Spain, this project continues to work with young journalists and future professionals of the communication in order to improve the social image of HIV through information published in the media. For this reason, on 24 October take place in Barcelona II workshop HIV / AIDS and young journalists in the 21st century, a space for dialogue, debate and reflection on the treatment of information about HIV and AIDS in the Spanish media.

When marks 30 years of the first case of AIDS in our country, even today the terminology of this disease still mistaking Spanish press; In addition, when we talk about AIDS, continues stigmatizing people and linking them with some vulnerable groups.

Maria Urrero, project coordinator, explains that to analyze the journalistic pieces has detected that it is the young journalists who make more mistakes in the language and tend to use discriminatory language when writing about HIV and AIDS. This fact, continuing Maria, “ has some logic because it is a specialized topic and unfortunately AIDS continues to be a socially stigmatized disease ”. Why Mediosysida, a project funded by the National Plan on AIDS, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Gilead and Merck, has focused for several years in the training of the younger in journalism. “ Is an investment in the short term to improve the information in the media ”, says Maria.

The second edition of this free workshop will have the presence of professionals of leading Spanish media such as El País and El Mundo, and will address HIV and AIDS “ with an informative approach from human rights ”. How to recognize and avoid the use of stigmatizing language; How to include the gender perspective when reports on pandemic or how to implement approaches innovators to keep the pandemic and its evolution in the “ calendar ” of the media, will be some of the issues that the young journalists participating in the workshop will be addressed throughout the day.

The workshop will be preceded a small event open to the media, in which the Mediosysida award II for young journalists, whose verdict will be announced on October 17 through the website of Mediosysida shall be granted.

Discriminatory language goes down

The use of discriminatory language in the media tends to diminish. Shown by the latest survey “ the treatment of HIV/AIDS in the media Spanish writings (2009-2010) ”, developed by the Institute of the communication of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (InCom-UAB) at the request of Mediosysida. The data who rebel in him especially refers to a change in the treatment of information as well as the selection of information and the sources used. Increases, for example, the presence of women as a central hub of information (from 23% to 30% in the last wave), in addition to being cited increasingly more as “ expert ” in the news fact.

It remains however, detecting the Synecdoche “ AIDS HIV ”, i.e., the misuse of the term AIDS want to talk about HIV. Although this impropriety has declined from 48% to 36% on the previous report, some of the main Spanish media are still incurring this error. The report as a possible cause of this confusion is the fact that “ the term AIDS is considered more attractive journalistically and therefore more efficient regardless of whether used with property, given that AIDS is not the same as HIV ”.

Mediosysida plans to launch this autumn a new awareness campaign to professionals in the media of the Spanish State about the importance of differentiating the terms HIV and AIDS as well as infection transmission.
