The purpose of this study was to determine the association insurance status with disease stage at presentation, treatment, and survival among top 10 most deadly cancers using SEER database.A total 473,722 patients age 18 64 years who were diagnosed one in database from 2007 2010 analyzed. A Cox proportional hazards model used for multivariable analyses assess effect patient tumor characteristics on cause-specific death.Overall, non-Medicaid less likely present distant (16.9%) than those...
Purpose Although adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resected gallbladder cancer may improve survival some patients, identifying which patients will benefit remains challenging because of the rarity this disease. The specific aim study was to create a decision aid help make individualized estimates potential with cancer. Methods Patients were selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) –Medicare database who diagnosed between 1995 2005. Covariates included age, race, sex,...
Target volumes and organs-at-risk (OARs) for radiotherapy (RT) planning are manually defined, which is a tedious inaccurate process. We sought to assess the feasibility, time reduction, acceptability of an atlas-based autosegmentation (AS) compared manual segmentation (MS) OARs.A commercial platform generated 16 OARs. Resident physicians were randomly assigned modify AS OAR (AS+R) or draw MS followed by attending physician correction. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was used measure...
Single-institution data suggest that treatment with radiation and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) may be an appropriate alternative to mastectomy for T0N+ breast cancer. Population-based multi-institutional supporting this approach are lacking.The cause-specific survival (CSS) overall (OS) of women T0N+M0 ductal, lobular, or mixed cancer in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database from 1983 2006 were analyzed. Groups defined as: 1) no ALND, mastectomy, RT (observation); 2)...
PURPOSE Increased automation has been identified as one approach to improving global cancer care. The Radiation Planning Assistant (RPA) is a web-based tool offering automated radiotherapy (RT) contouring and planning low-resource clinics. In this study, the RPA workflow clinical acceptability were assessed by physicians around world. METHODS output for 75 cases was reviewed at least three physicians; 31 radiation oncologists 16 institutions in six countries on five continents contours plans...
Abstract Background: Cancer-specific mortality (CSM) is known to be higher among blacks and lower Hispanics compared with whites. Private insurance confers CSM benefit, but few studies have examined the relationship between status racial disparities. We sought determine differences in races within subgroups. Methods: A population-based cohort of 577,716 patients age 18 64 years diagnosed one 10 solid malignancies causing greatest over 2007 2012 were obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology,...
BACKGROUND In the United States, an estimated 48 million individuals live without health insurance. The purpose of current study was to explore Variation in insurance status by patient demographics and tumor site among nonelderly adult patients with cancer. METHODS A total 688,794 aged 18 64 years who were diagnosed one top 25 incident cancers (representing 95% all cancer diagnoses) between 2007 2010 Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database analyzed. Patient characteristics...
Purpose: This study aims to examine the characteristics and accreditations of medical centers with highest utilization direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing based on Google search advertisements. Methods: A total 817 paid advertisements from 360 simulated searches 30 most populous U.S. cities were analyzed. They categorized into National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated, Commission (CoC) accredited, non-CoC non-traditional treatment analyzed city, region, term. Results: Of cancer center...
ABSTRACT Tumors of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity (PNS/NC) are rare exhibit diverse histology, anatomic subsite, malignant potential. Early‐stage disease is typically managed with surgery, locally advanced treated a combination radiotherapy, chemotherapy. Clinical decision‐making commonly guided by limited retrospective evidence. To address this limitation, we performed systematic review to inform evidence‐based consensus for management common clinical scenarios, including potential...
6005 Background: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plus cisplatin is an established treatment for LAHNC, but ̃70% of patients develop SOM (WHO grade 3 or 4), limiting their ability to eat solids (grade 3) liquids and often requiring nutrition by feeding tube. Management focuses on symptoms supportive care (Elad 2020). There are no US-approved drugs reduce in LAHNC. A (RT)-induced burst superoxide initiates oral mucositis (OM) development (Sonis 2004). Avasopasem (GC4419, AVA)...
