Abstract Aim The aim was to determine whether the addition of additional cycles chemotherapy during ‘wait period’ following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer improves pathological complete response ( pCR ) rate. Method Rectal patients were randomly allocated either a standard 10 week wait period before surgery (standard chemoradiotherapy, SCRT or receive three fluorouracil based similar (extended XCRT ). primary end‐point as determined by blinded assessment. Results Forty‐nine...
The amount of same-day surgery has increased markedly worldwide in recent decades, but there remains limited evidence on chronic postsurgical pain this setting.
Abstract Background: Indigenous Australians with cancer are diagnosed more advanced disease and have lower survival than other Australians. Aim: To investigate reasons for these differences. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 1197 indigenous nonindigenous people in the Northern Territory cancers colon rectum, lung, breast, cervix non‐Hodgkin lymphoma between 1991 2000. Outcome measures were stage at diagnosis relative risk death. Results: compared had higher odds (relative 1.9, 95% CI...
Locally advanced inoperable pancreatic cancer (LAPC) has a poor prognosis. By increasing intensity of systemic therapy combined with an established safe chemoradiation technique, our intention was to enhance the outcomes LAPC. In preparation for phase III evaluation, feasibility and efficacy candidate regimen gemcitabine–oxaliplatin chemotherapy sandwich 5-fluorouracil (5FU) three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) needs be established. A total 48 patients LAPC without metastases...
It is well-recognized that cancer prevalence increasing and will continue to do so over the coming years. Adaptation of services this reality, however, has been slow. The oncology workforce, already short-staffed, be overburdened if change does not occur in a timely manner. results study seek highlight current workings outpatient clinics at hospital, identify areas deficiencies need addressed. By presenting portrait our clinics, it hoped discussion surrounding workforce issues can actively...
Patients are increasingly utilizing the internet to learn about dietary and herbal supplements (DHSs) for various diseases/conditions, including pain management. Online health information has been found be inconsistent of poor quality in prior studies, which may have detrimental effects on patient health. This study assessed online DHSs consumer pain.Six search items related were used generate first 20 websites Google across four English-speaking countries. The identified 480 webpages...
Abstract Background : Febrile neutropenia is a life‐threatening complication of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Empirical antibiotic treatment should be based on predominant pathogens and epidemiological characteristics the treated community. The aim present study was to review cases febrile at Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) in order assess appropriateness empirical therapy. Methods A retrospective secondary malignancy or chemotherapy occurring RDH over period 1994–99. In compare infections this group...
Background Caesarean section (CS) is the most common inpatient surgical procedure performed in Canada. CS known to cause moderate-to-severe pain, which suggested be associated with postpartum depression and persistent pain. Existing limitations multimodal analgesia conscious attempts avoid opioids highlight need for non-pharmacological strategies. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) uses light-emitting diode (LED) laser has potential improving pain control wound healing. This study aims...
4616 Background: Our previous study of Gem with sandwich 5FU-3DRT for LAPC was encouraging (Br J Cancer 2007: 97, 464–471). Gem-Ox has higher response rate than Gem, improved progression free survival (PFS) but not overall (OS). Its use in may improve local control (LC) and delay systemic spread. GFG is a induction (ind) Gem-Ox, then 5FU-3DRT, consolidation (con) Gem-Ox. Primary outcome feasibility using proportion patients (pts) receiving > 80% planned dose each component. Secondary...
Registry data on invasive cervical cancers (n = 1,274) from four major hospitals (1984-2012) were analysed to determine their value for informing local service delivery in Australia. The methodology comprised disease-specific survival analyses using Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimates and Cox proportional hazards models treatment logistic regression. Five- 10-year survivals 72% 68%, respectively, equating with relative Australia the USA. Most common treatments surgery radiotherapy. Systemic...
