Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of a workplace intervention aimed at reducing adverse psychosocial work factors (psychological demands, decision latitude, social support, and effort-reward imbalance) mental health problems among care providers. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with control group was used. Pre-intervention (71% response rate), one-year post-intervention measures (69% rate) were collected by telephone interviews. Results: One year after intervention, there...
Oral cavity cancer often requires multidisciplinary management, subjecting patients to complex therapeutic trajectories. Prolonged treatment intervals in oral have been associated with poor oncological outcomes, but there has yet be a study investigating times Canada.
Objective Advances in minimally invasive surgery, particularly with robotic have resulted improved peri-operative outcomes patients endometrial cancer. In addition, randomized trials shown that addition of adjuvant radiotherapy following surgery improves loco-regional disease control among stage I intermediate-risk cancer patients. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety combined treatment this patient population. Methods A single-center retrospective study was conducted on...
Importance The standard of care for patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) is generally primary surgical resection or without adjuvant therapy (AT), based on pathological factors. Identifying preoperative factors that are associated the receipt AT may enhance treatment planning. Objective To identify patient and tumor receiving AT, either radiation (RT) chemoradiation (CRT), in OCSCC. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study, spanning January 2005 to December 2019...
LBA492 Purpose: To determine if more patients (pts) with painful liver cancer have improved pain 1 month following radiation therapy (RT), compared to best supportive care (BSC). Methods: This multi-centre, phase III trial randomized pts hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or metastases (LM) 1:1 BSC alone single fraction RT (8 Gy). Eligible had end-stage disease unsuitable for local, regional systemic therapies, > 4 weeks since chemotherapy TACE, 2 targeted immunotherapy, and no planned...
To develop a framework with which to evaluate locations of radiation therapy (RT) centers in region based on geographic access.Patient records were obtained for all external beam started 2011 the province British Columbia, Canada. Two metrics access defined. The primary analysis was percentage patients (coverage) within 90-minute drive from an RT center (C90), and secondary average time (ADT) center. An integer programming model developed determine optimal locations, catchment areas,...
Precursors to anal squamous cell carcinoma may be detectable through screening; however, the literature suggests that population-level testing is not cost-effective. Given high-grade cervical neoplasia (CIN) associated with an increased risk of developing cancer, and in light changing guidelines for follow-up management neoplasia, it worthwhile examine costs effectiveness cancer screening program delivered women previously-detected CIN. A model treatment was constructed, estimate...
Importance The association of primary tumor volume with outcomes in T3 glottic cancers treated radiotherapy concurrent chemotherapy remains unclear, some evidence suggesting worse locoregional control larger tumors. Objective To evaluate the oncologic patients N0-N3 M0 cancer (chemo)radiotherapy a large multi-institutional study. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study involved 7 Canadian centers from 2002 to 2018. Tumor was measured by expert neuroradiologists on...
The objective of this study was to examine the utility postoperative radiation for low and intermediate grade cancers parotid submandibular glands.The authors conducted a retrospective, Canadian-led, international, multi-institutional analysis patient cohort with or salivary gland cancer who were treated from 2010 until 2020 without therapy. A multivariable, marginal Cox proportional hazards regression performed quantify association between locoregional recurrence (LRR) receipt therapy while...
The purpose of this study was to estimate locally accumulated dose the bladder in multi-fraction high-dose-date (HDR) image-guided intracavitary brachytherapy (IG-ICBT) for cervical cancer, and locally-accumulated parameters as predictors late urinary toxicity. A retrospective 60 cancer patients who received five HDR IG-ICBT sessions performed. outer inner surfaces were segmented all a bladder-wall contour point-set created MATLAB. point-sets each patient registered using deformable...
