Objective Melanoma comprises 5% to 10% of vulvar cancers and prognosis is poor. The purpose this study was identify prognostic factors treatment patterns for melanoma using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Methods NCDB queried patients with invasive from 2004-2015. Descriptive statistics were generated describe clinical details. Multivariable Cox regression Kaplan-Meier method used examine overall survival (OS). Results 1,917 met inclusion criteria. Median follow-up time 32 months...
The proportion of female trainees in radiation oncology has generally declined despite increasing numbers medical students; as a result, is among the bottom 5 specialties terms percentage applicants. Recently, social media been harnessed tool to bring recognition underrepresented groups within medicine and other fields. Inspired by wide-reaching campaign #ILookLikeASurgeon promote physicians, members Society for Women Radiation Oncology penned new hashtag launched #WomenWhoCurie on Marie...
Peer review systems within radiation oncology are important to ensure quality care. Several individualized methods for peer have been described. However, despite the importance of in barriers may exist its effective implementation practice. The purpose this study was quantify rate plan changes based on our group process as well amount time and resources needed process.Data cases presented institutional consensus conference were prospectively collected. Cases then retrospectively analyzed...
Primary sarcoma of the cervix is rare and associated with worse outcomes as compared to other histologies. The purpose this study was identify national treatment patterns based on histological subtype using National Cancer Database (NCDB).
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to assess the current status gender disparities in academic radiation oncology departments United States and associated factors.Methods MaterialsThe data were collected from publicly available resources, including websites individual programs, Fellowship Residency Electronic Interactive Database, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, Association American Colleges. We on information residents each year (postgraduate years 2-5) faculty...
Objective To identify differences in 3‐year overall survival (OS) and disease‐free (DFS) based on race patients with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 80 carcinoma of the tonsil treated between 2006 2015. Overall DFS curves comparing white black were generated using Kaplan‐Meier method. Cox regression was used to determine covariables associated OS DFS. Results Forty‐one percent this cohort 59% white. Three‐year for 45.5% versus 88.1% ( P = 0.003). 41.1%...
Adjuvant hysterectomy following chemoradiation (CRT) is a treatment option used worldwide for early-stage cervical cancer but the benefit of in this setting unclear. An analysis National Cancer Database (NCDB) was performed to identify patterns care and determine survival impact adjuvant hysterectomy.The NCDB queried patients with International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics stage IB2 IIA2 diagnosed from 2010-2014 who underwent preoperative concurrent followed by (CRT+S) or definitive CRT....

Background: Inconsistent findings have been reported in the literature regarding racial differences survival outcomes between African American and white patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). The current study utilized a national database to determine whether exist among target population address this inconsistency. Methods: This retrospectively reviewed (PCa) patient data (N=1,319,225) from National Cancer Database (NCDB). were divided into three groupings based on status: (1) no...
To generate insights regarding the role of gender in research mentorship, we analyzed characteristics abstracts selected for oral and poster discussion presentations at American Society Radiation Oncology annual meeting subsequent high-impact publications.Clinical radiation oncology meetings 2014 2015 were reviewed. A multivariable logistic regression model evaluated factors associated with higher-impact publications among that led to manuscript publications. The primary independent variable...
