Importance Patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PC) have increased risk of secondary rectal (SRC) and more limited treatment options. Objective To assess the tumor molecular profile, clinical characteristics, oncologic outcomes SRC after PC compare them those primary (PRC). Design, Setting, Participants This case-control study included patients diagnosed 5 or years RT PRC who were at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York between February 1, 1994,...
Abstract Background Goals of care discussions are infrequently documented in the preoperative period. Furthermore, documentation does not consistently address what matters most to patients, although patient values (PV) central person‐centered care. Methods A multidisciplinary working group was formed. An electronic note comprised (1) topics discussion, (2) PV, and (3) advance planning (ACP), created embedded into existing templates for Gynecologic Surgical Oncology. Surgeons advanced...
84 Background: Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for rectal cancer (RC) can achieve clinical complete response (cCR) and organ preservation in as many 45% of patients, with watch-and-wait (WW) management. For tumors that persist or regrow after TNT, standard management is total mesorectal excision (TME), which result poor bowel function permanent colostomy. In certain cases, only residual adenoma mucosal based carcinoma may remain TNT. Local (LE) a minimally invasive surgical alternative...
Background: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) has been advocated for persistent or recurrent disease after failure of chemoradiation (CRT) anal squamous cell cancer (SCC). Treatment with salvage APR can potentially achieve a cure. This study aimed to analyze oncological outcomes in recent time period at comprehensive center. Methods: A retrospective review all patients who underwent biopsy-proven SCC between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2020 was performed. Patients stage IV the initial...
Abstract Background Increased survival among active cancer patients exposes a wide range of side effects, including cardiotoxicity, manifested by systolic dysfunction and associated with morbidity mortality. Early diagnosis subclinical function changes cardiac damage is essential in the management these patients. Diastolic considered common patients; however, its effect on or mortality still unknown. Methods Data were collected as part Israel Cardio‐Oncology Registry, enrolling prospectively...
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Infrequent preoperative goals of care (GOC) documentation leads to challenges in medical decision‐making when patients experience postoperative complications. We evaluated the feasibility enhancing GOC through a patient portal‐based values questionnaire. Methods A questionnaire (PVQ) was distributed before their Gynecologic Surgical Oncology clinic appointments via an electronic health record (EHR)‐based portal from June October 2023. Surgeons advanced...
Background: The watch-and-wait strategy provides an opportunity to pursue non-operative management in rectal cancer patients with clinical complete response after neoadjuvant therapy. of those near remains controversial. Objective: We assessed the oncologic outcomes managed by versus total mesorectal excision according Design: Retrospective cohort study. Settings: Comprehensive center New York. Patients: Patients adenocarcinoma diagnosed between January 2006 December 2020. Interventions: A...
Abstract Background Although diastolic dysfunction is common among patients treated with cancer therapy, no clear evidence has been shown that it predicts systolic dysfunction. This study evaluated the correlation of strain time (Dst) routine echocardiography parameters and estimated its role in early detection cardiotoxicity active breast cancer. Methods Data were collected as part Israel Cardio‐Oncology Registry (ICOR), a prospective registry enrolling all adult referred to cardio‐oncology...
BACKGROUND: Anal adenocarcinoma bears a treatment strategy unique to other anal cancers. OBJECTIVE: To describe oncologic outcomes of total neoadjuvant therapy followed by watch and wait for adenocarcinoma. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. SETTING: This study was conducted at comprehensive cancer center. PATIENTS: Patients with treated between 2004 2019 were selected. INTERVENTIONS: Fifty-four patients received divided into two groups according their strategy: versus single-neoadjuvant...
