Recurrence is not explicitly documented in cancer registry data that are widely used for research. Patterns of events after initial treatment such as oncology visits, re-operation, and receipt subsequent chemotherapy or radiation may indicate recurrence. This study aimed to develop validate algorithms identifying breast recurrence using routinely collected administrative data. The cohort included all young (≤ 40 years) patients (2007–2010), receiving neoadjuvant (2012–2014) Alberta, Canada....
Purpose: Anti-hormonal therapy (tamoxifen) is recommended for estrogen receptor (er)–positive breast cancer (bca); however, its effect on low-receptor cancers unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the of adjuvant tamoxifen in patients with weakly er-positive bca. Methods: identified 2221 bca who had been er-tested by ligand-based assay (lba) during 1976–1995 and treated followed until 2008. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted age, body mass index, tumour size, nodal status, surgery,...
Background The majority of women in Nigeria present with advanced‐stage breast cancer. To address the role geospatial access, we constructed a geographic information‐system–based model to evaluate relationship between modeled travel time, stage at presentation, and overall survival among patients cancer Nigeria. Methods Consecutive were identified from single‐institution, prospective database (May 2009‐January 2019). Patients geographically located, time hospital was generated using...
Background. Transcatheter arterial lipiodol chemoembolization (TACE) can be used in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma to avoid tumor progression before transplantation. Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE as a bridge liver Methods. was performed 30 carcinoma. Milan criteria were select for transplant. Patients had good or moderately impaired function, no arterioportal fistulae, portal perfusion. Results. 48 patients. Before transplantation, 4 dropped off...
To evaluate the utility of multidisciplinary case conferences (MCCs) on physician decision making in benign and malignant breast disease management. Patients with interesting or challenging diagnostic management issues were discussed at biweekly MCCs. Prior to discussion, a clinical summary intended plan prior MCC was presented. For each case, images/histopathology centrally reviewed after which group discussion achieved consensus documented prospectively. Initial plans compared post-MCC...
Introduction: Retroperitoneal sarcoma (rps) encompasses a heterogeneous group of malignancies with high recurrence rate after resection. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy (nrt) is often used in the hope sterilizing margins and decreasing local excision. We set out to compare recurrence-free survival (lrfs) overall (os) patients treated or without nrt before Methods: Patients diagnosed rps from February 1990 October 2014 were identified Alberta Cancer Registry. complete gross resection no distant...
Background and Objectives Using a 2 mm margin criteria, we evaluated the effect of intra‐operative assessment on status re‐excisions following breast‐conserving surgery (BCS) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Methods We identified patients undergoing BCS DCIS from prospective, population‐based database. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine specimen mammography, ultrasound macroscopic by pathologist margins re‐excision rates. Results In 588 patients, 52% (95% confidence...
Current guidelines recommending wide local excision (≥ 1 cm margin) for all breast phyllodes tumours regardless of classification are based on retrospective data. Benign the not aggressive. They often indistinguishable from fibroadenomas core biopsy and diagnosed only after excisions without attention to margins. Once diagnosis is made, decision operate obtain further margins versus wait-and-watch dilemma surgeons face a regular basis.
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a major treatment of colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CPC). The aim was to determine the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall (OS) patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC for CPC factors associated long-term (LTS).
Peritoneal recurrences after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for appendiceal colorectal cancers are frequent. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, technical feasibility perioperative long-term outcomes of repeat CRS/HIPEC in patients with recurrent peritoneal carcinomatosis origin.Data were collected from treated 2000 2016 or cancer at 2 specialist centres. Data on demographics, procedure details, morbidity survival recorded. Analyses compared...
Abstract Introduction Peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is a rare malignancy originating from the peritoneal lining. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) standard‐of‐care for patients with isolated PM. Due to paucity of prospective data there are several different HIPEC protocols. The aims this study describe CRS protocols PM patient outcomes across Canada. Methods A multicenter retrospective was performed on diagnosed treated in four major disease centers...
