A whole-genome admixture scan in 1,597 African Americans identified a 3.8 Mb interval on chromosome 8q24 as significantly associated with susceptibility to prostate cancer [logarithm of odds (LOD) = 7.1]. The increased risk because inheriting ancestry is greater men diagnosed before 72 years age (P < 0.00032) and may contribute the epidemiological observation that higher for greatest younger (and attenuates older age). same region was recently through linkage analysis cancer, followed by...
We assessed cancer survivors' perceptions of the quality their follow-up care.We surveyed a population-based cohort leukemia, bladder, and colorectal survivors diagnosed 2 to 5 years previously in northern California (N = 623; participation rate, 69.2%; overall response 49.2%). Data were collected between April 2003 November 2004. Ten scales different aspects care last 12 months, an eleventh scale measured ratings care.On nine 11 scales, mean scores ranged from 88 97 on 0 100 format,...
BACKGROUND Recent changes in head and neck cancer epidemiology have created a need for improved lymph node prognostics. This article compares the prognostic value of number positive nodes (pN) with ratio (LNR) American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) N staging surgical patients. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database was used to identify cases squamous cell carcinomas from 2004 2012. sample grouped by AJCC stage, LNR, pN analyzed Kaplan‐Meier multivariate Cox...
We examined racial and ethnic disparities in patient-provider communication (PPC), perceived care quality, patient activation among long-term cancer survivors.In 2005 to 2006, survivors of breast, prostate, colorectal, ovarian, endometrial cancers completed a mailed survey on follow-up care. African American, Asian/Pacific Islander (Asian), Hispanic, non-Hispanic white (white) who had seen physician for the past 2 years (n = 1,196) composed analytic sample. conducted linear logistic...
Women with mutations of the genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 are at increased risk ovarian cancer. Oral contraceptives protect against cancer in general, but it is not known whether they disease carriers these mutations. We obtained self-reported lifetime histories oral contraceptive use from 451 women who carried BRCA2. used conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios associated use, comparing 147 (cases) those 304 without (controls) were matched cases on year birth, country residence and...
Abstract Objective Ten years after diagnosis, women diagnosed with breast cancer at age 50 or younger were assessed to determine whether quality of life (QOL) problems found five persisted. We predicted that QOL in the physical and social domains would be poorer, but improvements psychological domain. Methods re‐interviewed 312 women, who had been interviewed their year anniversary remained free, on three (physical, social, psychological). Comparisons between 5‐ 10‐year reports performed...
Thyroid cancer incidence is increasing worldwide. Incorporating 22 years of data through 2009, we extend examination these trends among a wide array subgroups defined by patient (age, sex, race/ethnicity, and nativity), tumor (tumor size stage), neighborhood (socioeconomic status residence in ethnic enclaves) characteristics, to identify possible reasons for this increase.
We aimed to determine if resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) acquired at pre-treatment baseline could accurately predict breast cancer-related cognitive impairment long-term follow-up. evaluated 31 patients with cancer (age 34-65) prior any treatment, post-chemotherapy and 1 year later. Cognitive testing scores were normalized based on data obtained from 43 healthy female controls then used categorize as impaired or not longitudinal changes. measured clustering...
Abstract Background Deployment of remote and virtual clinical trial methods technologies, referred to collectively as decentralized trials (DCTs), represents a profound shift in practice. To our knowledge, comprehensive assessment the financial net benefits DCTs has not been conducted. Methods We developed an expected present value (eNPV) model cash flows for new drug development commercialization assess impact DCTs. The measure DCT is increment eNPV that occurs, on average, when are...
A total of 283 epithelial ovarian cancer families from the United Kingdom (UK) and States (US) were screened for coding sequence changes large genomic alterations (rearrangements deletions) in BRCA1 BRCA2 genes. Deleterious mutations identified 104 (37%) 25 (9%). Of mutations, 12 alterations; thus this type change represented 12% all mutations. Six carried a previously described exon 13 duplication, known to be UK founder mutation. The remaining six unreported comprised five deletions an...
Studies of the histopathology ovarian cancer arising in patients with germline mutations BRCA1 or BRCA2 have shown inconsistent findings. We analyzed large number tumors from women enrolled Gilda Radner Familial Ovarian Cancer Registry for correlations between and BRCA mutation status. Histopathology slides reports were reviewed histology, grade, stage cancers ovary peritoneum 220 126 families. At least one affected member each family was genes, mutation-positive families compared those...
Introduction: Wearable technologies can enhance measurements completed from home by participants in decentralized clinical trials. These have shown promise monitoring patient wellness outside the setting. However, there are challenges handling data and its interpretation when using consumer wearables, requiring input statisticians scientists. This article describes three methods to estimate daily steps address gaps Apple Watch cancer patients uses one of these an analysis association between...
