Disruptions to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic may have led missed cancer diagnoses. It is critical evaluate association between and incidence address public patient anxiety, inform recovery efforts, identify strategies reduce system's vulnerability future disruptions.To examine in Manitoba, Canada.A population-based cross-sectional study design was conducted using data from Manitoba Cancer Registry an interrupted time-series analysis. All individuals diagnosed with Canada, January...
Background Implementation of best practices surgical checklists improves patient safety and outcomes. However, documenting performance these can be challenging. The American Society Colon Rectal Surgeons developed a Best Practices for Cancer Checklist (RCC) to standardize improve the quality rectal cancer surgery. This study compared degree which synoptic (SR) narrative (NR) operative reports document RCC items. Methods Two reviewers independently reviewed cohort prospectively collected SR...
Preoperative state anxiety (PSA) is distress and directly associated with perioperative events. PSA negative postoperative outcomes such as longer hospital length of stay, increased pain opioid use, higher rates rehospitalization. Psychological prehabilitation, education, exposure to environments, relaxation strategies, has been shown mitigate PSA; however, there are limited skilled personnel deliver interventions in clinical practice. Immersive virtual reality (VR) the potential for greater...
Individuals with cancer are vulnerable to infection SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. Physical distancing, reallocation of health care resources, and implementation procedures reduce spread COVID-19 may also have serious consequences for people cancer. We evaluated impact on new diagnoses oncology in Manitoba, Canada using an interrupted time series design data from Manitoba Cancer Registry CancerCare Manitoba’s (CCMB) electronic medical record. In April 2020, there was a 23% decrease...
A malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is a rare entity, characterized as mesenchymal neoplasm occurring exclusively near the tract, prone to frequent local recurrence and metastasis. Here, we report case of 49-year-old male presented with abdominal pain weight loss. The patient had remote history thymic B-cell lymphoma. An computed tomography (CT) scan revealed focal wall thickening terminal ileum mesenteric lymphadenopathy, suggestive core needle biopsy node was...
Modern management of colorectal cancer (CRC) with peritoneal metastasis (PM) is based on a combination cytoreductive surgery (CRS), systemic chemotherapy, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Although the role hipec has recently been questioned respect to results from PRODIGE 7 trial, benefit complete CRS were confirmed, as observed 41-month gain in median survival that study, 15% patients remaining disease-free at 5 years. Still, CRC PM associated poor prognosis, good...
Abstract Background Few studies have investigated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survival. Those that included vs prepandemic comparisons can mask differences during different periods such as waves. The objective this study was to investigate survival using an interrupted time series analysis and identify points when observed deviated from expected Methods A retrospective population-based cohort individuals diagnosed with between January 2015 September 2021 Manitoba, Canada,...
Strategies to minimize the impact of COVID-19 pandemic led a reduction in diagnostic testing. It is important assess magnitude and duration this plan ongoing care avoid long-lasting impacts pandemic.
Background: The benefits of mentorship on residents are well established. current state in General Surgery (GS) residency programs Canada is unknown. objectives this study were to obtain GS residents’ and program directors’ (PD) perspectives resident mentorship.Study Design: An electronic survey was developed distributed all 601 Canada. All 17 PDs invited for telephone interviews.Results: A total 179 the responded. Ninety-seven percent (n=173) felt important. Only 67% (n=116) identified a...
Importance Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma. Due to its relatively low incidence and limited prospective trials, current recommendations are guided by historical single-institution retrospective studies. Objective To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients in Canada with head neck MCC (HNMCC) according American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition staging treatment modalities. Design, Setting, Participants A cohort study 400 a diagnosis...
Clinically elevated preoperative distress and anxiety are common among patients undergoing cancer surgery. Preoperative interventions have been developed to mitigate this but inconsistent in efficacy feasibility for broad implementation.
The 17th annual Western Canadian Gastrointestinal Cancer Consensus Conference (wcgccc) was held in Edmonton, Alberta, 11–12 September 2015. wcgccc is an interactive multidisciplinary conference attended by health care professionals from across Canada (British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) who are involved the of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Surgical, medical, radiation oncologists; pathologists; radiologists; allied participated presentation discussion sessions for purposes...
Abstract Introduction Health care in Manitoba, Canada is divided into five regions, each with unique geographies, demographics, health access, and status. COVID‐19‐related restrictions subsequent responses also differed by region. To understand the impact of pandemic on cancer incidence context these differences, we examined age‐standardized rates region over time before after COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods We used a population‐based quasi‐experimental study design, data, an interrupted series...
Background: Variation in breast cancer surgical practice patterns can lead to poor clinical outcomes. It is important measure and reduce variation ensure all women diagnosed with receive equitable, high-quality care. A population-based assessment of the surgery treatment quality has never been conducted Manitoba. The objective this study was assess patterns, care, post-operative outcomes for invasive cancer. Methods: This descriptive used data from Manitoba Cancer Registry, Hospital...
