In 2012, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and European for Study of (EASD) published a position statement on management hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (1,2). This was needed because an increasing array antihyperglycemic drugs growing uncertainty regarding their proper selection sequence. Because paucity comparative effectiveness research long-term treatment outcomes many these medications, 2012 publication less prescriptive than prior consensus reports. We previously...
Abstract In the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) is fourth most common diagnosed among adults and second leading cause of death from cancer. For this guideline update, American Cancer Society (ACS) used an existing systematic evidence review CRC screening literature microsimulation modeling analyses, including a new evaluation age to begin by race sex additional that incorporates changes in US incidence. Screening with any one multiple options associated significant reduction incidence...
Breast cancer is a leading cause of premature mortality among US women. Early detection has been shown to be associated with reduced breast morbidity and mortality.To update the American Cancer Society (ACS) 2003 screening guideline for women at average risk cancer.The ACS commissioned systematic evidence review literature inform supplemental analysis mammography registry data address questions related interval. Formulation recommendations was based on quality judgment (incorporating values...
To test the hypothesis that physicians' empathy is associated with positive clinical outcomes for diabetic patients.A correlational study design was used in a university-affiliated outpatient setting. Participants were 891 patients, treated between July 2006 and June 2009, by 29 family physicians. Results of most recent hemoglobin A1c LDL-C tests extracted from patients' electronic records. The results categorized into good control (<7.0%) poor (>9.0%). Similarly, grouped (<100) (>130)....
Updates to the American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines regarding screening for early detection of prostate, colorectal, and endometrial cancers, based on recommendations recent ACS workshops, are presented. Additionally, authors review "cancer-related check-up," clinical encounters that provide case-finding health counseling opportunities. Finally, is issuing an updated narrative related testing lung cancer clinicians individuals at high risk in light emerging data new imaging technologies....
In Table 1 "Properties of currently available glucose-lowering agents that may guide treatment choice in individual patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus" vildagliptin was incorrectly assigned footnote "a" (Limited use the U.S./Europe) instead "b" (Not licensed U.S.).The online version reflects these changes.
Abstract The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends that individuals with a cervix initiate cervical cancer screening at age 25 years and undergo primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing every 5 through 65 (preferred); if HPV is not available, then aged to should be screened cotesting (HPV in combination cytology) or cytology alone 3 (acceptable) ( strong recommendation ). ACS >65 who have no history of intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 more severe disease within the past years,...
Germline testing (GT) is a central feature of prostate cancer (PCA) treatment, management, and hereditary assessment. Critical needs include optimized multigene strategies that incorporate evolving genetic data, consistency in GT indications alternate evaluation models address the rising demand for services. A multidisciplinary consensus conference included experts, stakeholders, national organization leaders was convened response to current practice challenges develop implementation...
Abstract This article summarizes cancer mortality trends and disparities based on data from the National Center for Health Statistics. It is first in a series of articles that will describe American Cancer Society's vision how prevention, early detection, treatment can be transformed to lower burden United States, sets stage national control plan, or blueprint, Society goals reducing by year 2035. Although steady progress has been made over past few decades, it clear much more could, should,...
Abstract BACKGROUND. Colorectal cancer screening is underutilized. The objective of the current study was to determine whether targeted and tailored interventions can increase use. METHODS. A total 1546 primary care practice patients completed a baseline telephone survey were randomized 4 groups: control (387 patients), Standard Intervention (SI) Tailored (TI) (386 or plus Phone (TIP) patients). group received usual throughout study. SI intervention by mail (ie, invitation letter,...
This study was designed to investigate psychometric properties of the Jefferson Scale Patient Perceptions Physician Empathy (JSPPPE), and examine correlations between its scores measures overall satisfaction with physicians, personal trust, indicators patient compliance.
Cancer care delivery is being shaped by growing numbers of cancer survivors coupled with provider shortages, rising costs primary treatment and follow-up care, significant survivorship health disparities, increased reliance on informal caregivers, the transition to value-based care. These factors create a compelling need provide coordinated, comprehensive, personalized for in ways that meet survivors' caregivers' unique needs while minimizing impact shortages controlling systems, survivors,...
