PURPOSE Standard curative-intent chemoradiotherapy for human papillomavirus (HPV)–related oropharyngeal carcinoma results in significant toxicity. Since hypoxic tumors are radioresistant, we posited that the aerobic state of a tumor could identify patients eligible de-escalation while maintaining treatment efficacy. METHODS We enrolled with HPV-related to receive de-escalated definitive phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03323463 ). Patients first underwent surgical removal...
PURPOSE Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORN) can manifest in varying severity. The aim this study is to identify ORN risk factors and develop a novel classification depict severity ORN. METHODS Consecutive patients with head neck cancer (HNC) treated curative-intent intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) (≥45 Gy) from 2011 2017 were included. Occurrence was identified in-house prospective dental clinical databases charts. Multivariable logistic regression model used stratify into...
PURPOSE Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that palliative care (PC) can improve quality of life and survival for outpatients with advanced cancer, but there are limited population-based data on the value inpatient PC. We assessed PC as a component high-value among nationally representative sample inpatients metastatic cancer identified hospitalization characteristics significantly associated high costs. METHODS Hospitalizations patients 18 years older primary diagnosis from...
Importance Cancer is a leading cause of death among people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in the US. Acute care settings are important sources for PEH; however, association housing status with inpatient remains understudied, particularly context cancer. Objective To assess whether associated differences hospitalized adults Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study included aged 18 years or older diagnosed cancer who were identified using data from 2016 to 2020 National...
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations are prognostic in many cancers and have been observed human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative head neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). However, the role of TERT HPV-negative HNSCCs remains poorly understood these cancers, which increased risk for locoregional failure (LRF).We retrospectively identified patients who were diagnosed with HNSCC between July 1, 2004, October 12, 2017, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center whose tumors...
5051 Background: The aim of this prospective study was to identify prognostic factors (including 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography [FDG-PET] parameters) in previously untreated squamous carcinoma the uterine cervix with MRI- or CT-defined pelvic para-aortic lymph node (PLN PALN) metastasis. Methods: This included pooled patients selected from two studies who had cell cervical cancer and PLN PALN metastasis (diagnostic score 3 4) by CT-MRI additional FDG-PET scans were...
