Treatment of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma with chemoradiotherapy can now accomplish excellent locoregional disease control, but patient overall survival (OS) remains limited by development distant metastases (DM). We investigated the prognostic value staging <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT, beyond clinical risk factors, for predicting DM and OS in 176 patients after definitive chemoradiotherapy. <b>Methods:</b> The PET parameters maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax), metabolic tumor...
The objectives of this study are to illustrate the effects immortal time bias (ITB) using an oncology outcomes database and quantify through simulations magnitude direction ITB when different analytical techniques used. A cohort 11 626 women who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy underwent mastectomy with pathologically positive lymph nodes were accrued from National Cancer Database (2004-2008). Standard Cox regression, time-dependent (TD), landmark models used compare overall survival in...
ACRIN 6668/RTOG 0235 evaluated the prognostic value of positron emission tomography with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) uptake before and after definitive, concurrent, platinum-based chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this secondary analysis, we evaluate volumetric pretreatment PET measures as predictors clinical outcomes. Patients stage III NSCLC underwent FDG-PET prior to treatment. A commercially available gradient-based segmentation tool was...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease with very poor prognosis. Previous studies have indicated that women experience longer survival compared men. We analyzed 16 267 eligible patients (21.3% females) in the National Cancer Database to evaluate which clinical factors are independently predictive of survival. After adjusting for all covariates, was significantly better females males [HRadj: 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.77-0.85]. Other associated were younger age at...
Strong mentorship has been shown to improve mentee productivity, clinical skills, medical knowledge, and career preparation. We conducted a survey evaluate resident satisfaction with within their radiation oncology residency programs.
Our purpose was to evaluate the measurement properties of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures used in ongoing RadComp pragmatic randomized clinical trial (PRCT).
BACKGROUND High‐level evidence is lacking to guide treatment decisions about postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in patients who have breast cancer with 1 3 positive lymph nodes receive contemporary systemic therapies, leading potential variations PMRT delivery. The objective of this study was examine nationwide trends use group. METHODS National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) used identify 93,372 women had T1‐T2N1 diagnosed between 2003 and 2012. Patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or...
Purpose Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and melanoma have been considered 'radioresistant' due to the fact that they do not respond conventionally fractionated radiation therapy. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) provides high-dose a defined target volume limited number of studies suggested potential effectiveness SRS in radioresistant histologies. We sought determine for treatment patients with brain metastases. Materials Methods performed retrospective review our institutional database identify...
Background Refugees and asylum-seekers have lower levels of cancer awareness this contributes to low rates screening more advanced cancers at diagnosis, compared non-refugee populations, due largely reduced access medical information care. The global Afghan refugee population is rapidly increasing with the ongoing political crisis. present study investigates breast (BC) among women.A cross-sectional survey women residing in Turkey was performed September 2021. A validated BC patient...
Abstract Background Access to cancer care is a problem that continues plague refugees displaced from their home countries. The turbulent political crisis in Syria, which has led millions of seeking asylum Turkey, merits further attention. We aimed study the rate utilization radiation therapy among Syrian with living Turkey an attempt identify contributing factors predictive non-compliance prescribed RT. Methods In this retrospective review 14 institutional databases, refugee patients...
Abstract Background Breast conserving surgery (BCS) and adjuvant hormonal therapy (HT) without radiation (RT) is an acceptable approach for older women with early stage, estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer. Toxicity compliance remain issues HT. Adjuvant RT alone may have better compliance, but its efficacy in the absence of HT unclear. We aim to assess patterns survival outcomes among ER (ER+) Methods The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) was used identify 130,194 age ≥65 years...
Bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid are an important part of adjuvant therapy to reduce the risk recurrence in early-stage breast cancer. Uveitis remains one lesser-known side effects acid; prompt recognition is essential ensure patients receive appropriate and timely care help prevent permanent vision loss. We report a case anterior uveitis postmenopausal woman who presented with visual symptoms after receiving first dose acid. This serves educate increase awareness given only reported...
Objective Gamma knife (GK) staged stereotactic radiosurgery (Staged-SRS) has become an effective treatment option for large brain metastases (BMs); however, it been challenging to evaluate the total dose because of tumor shrinkage between two sessions. This study aims biological (BED) in Staged-SRS, and compare BED with those single-fraction SRS (SF-SRS) hypo-fractionated (HF-SRS). Methods Patients treated GK Staged-SRS at a single institution were retrospectively included. The delivered...
Approximately 10% of patients who received brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) develop symptomatic radiation necrosis (RN). We sought to determine the effectiveness treatment options for RN, based on patient-reported outcomes.
