Referring to the recent presentation of the tumor registry that collects data for Irpinia, the provincial chapter of the Isde – International Society of Physicians for the Environment – wanted to highlight some aspects that it should to clarify: in particular, they specify how dangerous it is to minimize the environmental risk factor for tumors and rely on information related to the period from 2010 to 2012 declaring themselves available for a constructive comparison

Referring to the recent presentation of the cancer registry that collects data for Irpinia, the provincial section of the Isde – International Society of Physicians for the Environment – wished to highlight some aspects that need to be clarified, especially to contribute to the presentation of data in the future.

In particular, Environmental Physicians clarify how dangerous it is to minimize the environmental risk factor for tumors and rely on information from the period 2010 to 2012 to declare themselves available for a constructive comparison in order to understand at the same time colleagues who deal with the registry how to proceed.

Promoting health and controlling risk factors is the first goal that every doctor should pursue, as confirmed by the oncologist of Pascale di Napoli. Dr. Antonio Marfella who sees confirmation of all that he has always denounced: "I have cancer, I am a doctor and I am a technician who must unfortunately recognize that the Land of Fireworks is not a false news, but a problem prevalent in all countries that encounter a problem of non-urban, uncontrolled and non-controlled special waste, which has the license to kill men and not ointment.It is what appears more and more clearly in any Italy Today, the fires of the Stir reveal an attempt to intimidate, as Bonavitacola also says.Personally, I denounce for decades that we must first be interested in the special waste, most of the time burned without control and out of the law, at least until the ban for which we fought and which became a rule punishing those who burn waste left behind. We are only beginning today to ask ourselves if these fires are malicious, if we have lost years and it is no longer acceptable to deny this situation. We are at the level of "No Vax", we have doctors "No Tox" who occupy public positions, rely on outdated data and continue to say that the percentage of tumors of the environment n & # 39; 39 is only 2%. This is an absurd gap compared to the 30% established by the WHO. The environmental problem is a huge problem that is not only about cancer: we have an epidemic of autism, dementia, diabetes, all related to pollution. We decided that even the doctors "No Tox" should be prosecuted, we report them as dangerous ".

And on the provincial register of tumors presented by the ASL, it reads: "The widespread provincial document is excellent, the most important data on Avellino is the reduction of health migration, which means that if we had Regularly data from the registers, health planning would be better … According to the documentation presented, the province of Avellino is the one that generates less emigration because of health because health works better than in the rest Campania, Avellino is one of the ASLs who have worked better in the controls, but if we had first had the data on the tumors, an excellence like that of Gridelli should have been elsewhere, for example there where there are more lung tumors.It is serious that there is still no data from Naples and Benevento that is useful for making a comparison that has not yet been made. continue to waste time and the data is disseminated too slowly, while they would be available in the records of primary care physicians and that we could have them in real time, we simply have to ask ourselves why we do not do it ".
