BACKGROUND. As human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination becomes widely available in the US for cervical cancer prevention, it may also affect rates of other cancers potentially associated with HPV. The objective current study was to describe incidence oropharyngeal and oral cavity a focus on anatomic sites HPV infection. METHODS. Incident cases diagnosed between 1998 2003 identified through 39 population-based registries that participate National Program Cancer Registries and/or Surveillance,...
Survival from metastatic cutaneous melanoma is substantially lower than for localized disease. Treatments have been limited, but remarkable clinical improvements reported in trials the last decade. We described characteristics of US patients diagnosed with during 2001-2013 and assessed trends short-term survival distant-stage disease.Trends 1-year net were estimated using Pohar Perme estimator, controlling background mortality life tables all-cause rates by county residence, single year age,...
Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and BERT-based approaches are the current state-of-the-art in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks; however, their application to document classification on long clinical texts is limited. In this work, we introduce four methods scale BERT, which by default can only handle input sequences up approximately 400 words long, perform several thousand long. We compare these against two much simpler architectures - a word-level...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to delayed medical care in the United States. We examined changes patterns of cancer diagnosis and surgical treatment between January 1 December 31 2020 with real-time electronic pathology report data from population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results registries Georgia Louisiana. During 2020, there were 29 905 fewer reports than 2019, representing a 10.2% decline. Declines observed all age groups, including children adolescents...
Importance Adverse outcomes associated with treatments for localized prostate cancer remain unclear. Objective To compare rates of adverse functional between specific cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants An observational cohort study using data from 5 US Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program registries. were treated 2011 2012. At baseline, 1877 had favorable-prognosis (defined as cT1-cT2bN0M0, prostate-specific antigen level <20 ng/mL, grade group 1-2) 568...
BACKGROUND. Anal cancer is an uncommon malignancy in the US; up to 93% of anal cancers are associated with human papillomavirus. METHODS. Cases diagnosed between 1998 and 2003 from 39 population-based registries were analyzed. The following histologies included analysis: squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, small cell/neuroendocrine carcinomas. Incidence rates age-adjusted 2000 US standard population. RESULTS. From through 2003, annual invasive incidence rate was 1.5 per 100,000 persons. Squamous...
Population-based data on melanoma survival are important for understanding the impact of demographic and clinical factors prognosis.We describe by age, sex, race/ethnicity, stage, depth, histology, site.Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results data, we calculated unadjusted cause-specific up to 10 years from diagnosis 68,495 first primary cases diagnosed 1992 2005. Cox multivariate analysis was performed 5-year survival. Data 2001 were divided into 3 time periods compare stage...
For breast cancer, guidelines direct the delivery of adjuvant systemic therapy on basis lymph node status, histology, tumor size, grade, and hormonal receptor status. We explored how race/ethnicity, insurance, census tract-level poverty education, hospital Commission Cancer (CoC) status were associated with receipt guideline-concordant therapy.Locoregional cancers diagnosed in 2004 (n = 6,734) from National Program Registries-funded seven-state Patterns Care study Centers for Disease Control...
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 7th edition introduced major changes in the staging of lung cancer, including tumor (T), node (N), metastasis (M)-TNM-system and new stage/prognostic site-specific factors (SSFs), collected under Collaborative Stage Version 2 (CSv2) Data Collection System. intent was to improve stage precision that could guide treatment options ultimately lead better survival. This report examines trends, change distributions from AJCC 6th edition, findings...
Cancer is rare in adolescents and young adults (AYA), but these patients have seen little improvement survival contrast to most other age groups. Furthermore, participation research by AYAs typically low. We conducted a study examine the feasibility of recruiting population-based sample AYA survivors issues treatment health outcomes.
Limited research exists on the social information needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs, aged 15-39 at diagnosis) with cancer.The Adolescent Young Adult Health Outcomes Patient Experiences (AYA HOPE) Study recruited 523 patients to complete surveys 6-14 months after cancer diagnosis. Participants reported for talking about their experience family friends (TAC) meeting peer survivors (MPS). Multiple logistic regression was used examine factors associated each need.Approximately 25%...
Breast cancer survival is reportedly higher in the US than Europe. The first worldwide study (CONCORD) found wide international differences age-standardized survival. aim of this to explain these differences. Population-based data on stage at diagnosis, diagnostic procedures, treatment and follow-up were collected for about 20,000 women diagnosed with breast aged 15-99 years during 1996-98 7 states 12 European countries. Age-standardized net excess hazard death up 5 after diagnosis estimated...

Treatment-related regret is an integrative, patient-centered measure that accounts for morbidity, oncologic outcomes, and anxiety associated with prostate cancer diagnosis treatment.To assess the association between treatment approach, functional patient expectations treatment-related among patients localized cancer.This population-based, prospective cohort study used 5 Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER)-based registries in Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery Radiation...
Background: Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) incidence rates (IRs) are rising, according to previous registry analyses. However, analysis of histologic subtypes, including adenocarcinoma (the focus CRC screening and diagnostic testing) carcinoid tumors (which classified as "colorectal cancer" in SEER [Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results] databases but have a distinct pathogenesis managed differently from adenocarcinoma), has not been reported. Objective: To assess EOCRC IRs changes...
Abstract The superior recognition ability and excitatory–inhibitory balance of the olfactory system has important applications in efficient recognition, analysis, processing data. In this study, transistor synaptic devices are prepared utilizing poly‐diketo‐pyrrolopyrrole‐selenophene polymer (PTDPPSe‐5Si) with excellent electrical properties as active layer, dual‐gas pulses applied for first time to simulate excitatory inhibitory behaviors system. Basic successfully simulated, such...
Striking geographic variation in prostate cancer death rates have been observed the United States since at least 1950s; reasons for these variations are unknown. Here we examine association between mortality and regional access to medical care, as reflected by incidence of late-stage disease, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) utilization, residence rural counties.We analyzed data from National Center Health Statistics, 1996 2000, 30 population-based central registries North American...
