There is significant concern that cancer care adversely impacted due to the coronavirus disease pandemic. Using national database, we document impact of pandemic on diagnosis in Japan.Data from 735 hospital-based registries, covering >70% newly diagnosed cases, were analysed. We compared trends during 2016-2019 and those 2020 by type cancer, diagnostic process, stage 13 prefectures as requiring special precautions prevent spread infection.Overall, number patients who began treatment...
The effect of heparinoid moisturizer use after acute skin damage for patients receiving whole-breast radiotherapy lumpectomy is understudied. A total 30 were randomly assigned to receive (Group M), and 32 comprised the control group C). Patients in Group M instructed apply from 2 weeks following radiotherapy, continue until 3 months completion radiotherapy. C not any topical during study period. relative ratio water content (RWCR(t)= (It /Nt)/(I0/N0)) between irradiated non-irradiated field...
Abstract Background Hospital-based cancer registries were developed to describe and improve clinical care for patients. We described the hospital-based registry coverage as a reference users, including researchers, policymakers clinicians. Methods The was defined proportion of new cases registered in National Cancer Registry denominator. To examine respective types, age groups prefecture registry, grouped based on 10th International Statistical Classification Diseases Related Health Problems...
The application of heparinoid moisturizer for 2 weeks following whole-breast radiotherapy (WBRT) was previously reported to significantly increase skin water content (WC) and help improve dryness desquamation. prospective open-label, randomized trial included an exploratory arm investigate the preventive efficacy acute radiation dermatitis (ARD).Between April 2011 2013, patients receiving WBRT were assigned (1:2:2) receive either: prophylaxis (group P), starting after treatment M), no C)....
ObjectiveDifferences in hospital case-mix have not been adequately accounted for volume and patient outcome studies Japan. We aimed to examine whether differences may exist by investigating the distribution of patients' stage age across designated cancer treatment hospitals varying
Background: Treatment delays of metastatic extradural spinal cord compression (MESCC) sometimes have been reported, but reasons for its delay remained unclear. The purpose this study was to assess which clinical factors are associated with treatment in neurologically symptomatic MESCC the hospital settings. Methods: We reviewed medical records patients our institute who had at least one progressive neurological symptom (weakness, sensory changes, urinary retention, or nerve root pain), were...
Radiotherapy and bevacizumab are each effective in treating patients with advanced cancer, but their concurrent use may cause serious adverse events (SAEs). Whereas sequential administration can theoretically reduce the risk of SAEs while maintaining anticancer effects, this hypothesis remains unconfirmed, leading to variations practice. To elucidate current practices, patterns care received by Japan regard these two therapies were assessed a large database hospital-based cancer registry...
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) yields better outcomes and fewer toxicities for (RT) of head neck cancers (HNCs), including nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). IMRT is the standard RT treatment has been widely adopted in Western countries to treat HNCs. However, its uptake clinical practice among NPC patients never studied.We investigated use using data from a nationwide registry describe Japan. We analyzed with HNC, NPC, who underwent between 2012 2014, as recorded hospital-based...
e19348 Background: More than 55,000 patients are diagnosed as hematologic neoplasms in Japan. In this study incidence of was categorised based on the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification, and centralisation treatment facilities analysed, using nationwide Hospital-Based Cancer Registries (HBCR) which covers more 65% new cancer patients. Methods: The HBCR data for 2017 used. We categorized line with Revision WHO classification lymphoid, myeloid neoplasms, acute leukaemia. Incidence...
The Japan Nurses' Health Study (JNHS) is a large-scale, nationwide prospective cohort study of female nurses. This aimed to examine the validity self-reported diagnosis cancer among JNHS members (N=15,019).For women who reported any five cancers (stomach, colorectal, liver, lung and thyroid) in biennial follow-up surveys, an additional outcome survey, medical facility confirmation death certificate (DC) were conducted. Validation Committee (referred as "the committee") made final decision on...
