Background and Objectives The authors sought to study patient-reported outcomes following nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). Methods From 2008 2011, the BREAST-Q was administered women undergoing NSM surgery for cancer treatment or risk-reduction prior at 2 years after completion of reconstruction. change in score over time impact surgical indication, complication occurrence, laterality on scores were analyzed. Results prospectively 39 (n = 17) (RR) 22). At operation, median overall...
This cohort study builds on previous research from the National Cancer Database to assess whether rates of bilateral mastectomy continue increase.
Abstract Background Reports on the safety of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy compared to open (OPD) have demonstrated mixed results. One study comparing robotic (RPD) vs OPD decreased complications associated with RPD. Objectives To evaluate morbidity RPD using a national data set. Methods This is retrospective cohort from 2014 2017. Factors in patients undergoing were evaluated multivariate logistic regression (MVA) and propensity score matching (PSM). Results Of 13 110 PDs...
Aims: To explore patient experiences in a large-scale primary care-based, preemptive genetic testing program. Methods: Patients who received results from the initiative were invited to participate an online survey 3 weeks postresult disclosure. A 6-month follow-up was sent assess changes over time. Results: The initial completed by 1646 patients, with 544 completing survey. following outcomes high overall: patient-reported understanding of (cancer: 87%; cardiac: 86%); perceived utility...
The scalable delivery of genomic medicine requires collaboration between genetics and non-genetics providers. Thus, it is essential to investigate address the perceived value barriers incorporating genetic testing into clinical practice primary care providers (PCPs). We used a mixed-methods approach qualitative interviews surveys explore experience PCPs involved in pilot DNA-10K population program. Similar previous research, reported low confidence with tasks related ordering, interpreting...
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends imaging within 6 months after treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC). Further is recommended only if the patient has symptoms or abnormal findings on physical examination. However, in many instances, asymptomatic patients continue to have evaluations.To assess practice patterns surveillance with HNC evaluate costs associated these practices.This single-institution retrospective economic evaluation study screened 435 identify newly...
