BACKGROUND Advanced lung cancer (LC) patients and their families have reported low self‐efficacy for self‐care/caregiving high rates of distress, yet few programs exist to address supportive care needs during treatment. This pilot study examined the feasibility, acceptability, preliminary efficacy a 6‐session, telephone‐based dyadic psychosocial intervention that was developed advanced LC caregivers. The program grounded in self‐determination theory (SDT), which emphasizes importance...
Improving provision of palliative care in oncology may require efforts beyond increasing service availability. Developing ways for oncologists and physicians to collaborate integrate their respective skills help.
Most hematologic oncologists view palliative care as end-of-life care, whereas solid tumor more often a subspecialty for comanaging patients with complex cases.
Hospitalized patients with advanced cancer have a high symptom burden and need for support. Integration of palliative care (PC) improves control decreases unwanted health use, yet many are never offered these services. In 2016, ASCO called incorporation PC into oncologic all metastatic cancer. To improve the quality care, we developed standardized criteria, or triggers, consultation on inpatient solid tumor service.Patients were eligible this prospective cohort study if they met at least one...
Rationale: Prior studies have shown an anticancer effect of metformin in patients with breast and colorectal cancer. It is unclear, however, whether has a mortality benefit lung cancer.Objectives: To compare overall survival diabetes stage IV non–small cell cancer (NSCLC) taking versus those not on metformin.Methods: Using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results registry linked to Medicare claims, we identified 750 65–80 years age diagnosed NSCLC between 2007 2009. We used...

Expert communication is essential to high‐quality care for older patients with serious illness. Although the importance of skills widely recognized, formal curricula teaching geriatric and palliative medicine fellows often inadequate or unavailable. The current study drew upon educational principles format an evidence‐based, interactive method develop intensive training course designed specifically address common challenges that face. 2‐day retreat, held away from hospital environment,...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The number of positive lymph nodes (LNs) has been proposed as a prognostic indicator in N1 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the LNs is confounded by resected during surgery. node ratio (LNR) (the divided resected) can circumvent this limitation. significance LNR demonstrated elderly patients with NSCLC. objective current study was to evaluate whether higher marker worse survival NSCLC aged ≤65 years who have disease. METHODS: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and...
Abstract Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are blood-based designed to screen for signals of multiple cancers. There is growing interest and investment in examining the potential benefits applications MCED tests. If shown have clinical utility, it important ensure that all people—regardless their demographic or socioeconomic background—equitably benefit from these Unfortunately, with health care innovation, such considerations often ignored until after inequities emerge. We urge...
Abstract Background Many patients with early‐stage lung cancer are not candidates for lobectomy because of various factors, treatment options including sublobar resection or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Limited information exists regarding patient‐centered outcomes after these treatments. Methods Subjects stage I–IIA non–small cell (NSCLC) at high risk who underwent SBRT were recruited from five medical centers. Quality life (QOL) was compared the Short Form 8 (SF‐8) physical...
Despite rigorous evidence of improved quality life and longer survival, disparities in the utilization palliative hospice care persist for racial ethnic minority patients with cancer. This study evaluated impact psychosocial factors on these services. Patients advanced lung cancer were recruited at a large academic urban hospital. surveyed about their knowledge beliefs regarding medical mistrust, care, hospice. We used univariate multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine...
