Cutaneous reactions after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines are poorly characterized.To describe and classify cutaneous SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.A nationwide Spanish cross-sectional study was conducted. We included patients with within 21 days of any dose the approved at time study. After a face-to-face visit dermatologist, information on collected via an online professional survey clinical photographs were sent by email. Investigators searched for consensus...
The HOLA COVID-19 study sought to evaluate the impact of on oncology practices across Latin America (LATAM), challenges faced by physicians, and how physicians adapted while delivering care patients with cancer.This international cross-sectional in LATAM included a 43-item anonymous online survey changes adaptations clinical practice. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used association caring for practice.A total 704 from 19 countries completed survey. Among respondents, most...
<h3>Importance</h3> Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been theorized to decrease the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with prostate cancer owing a potential tissue-based expression coreceptor transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2). <h3>Objective</h3> To examine whether ADT is associated decreased rate 30-day mortality from among cancer. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This cohort study analyzed patient data recorded COVID-19 Cancer Consortium registry between...
High levels of growth factors and their receptors have been demonstrated in human tumors. Gliomas meningiomas are characterized by overexpression epidermal factor receptor (EGF-R). Ior egf/r3, is a neutralizing murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) against EGF-R, was generated at the Cuban Institute Oncology. The recognizes EGF-R with high affinity, inhibiting tyrosine kinase activation. A clinical trial conducted brain tumor patients to evaluate toxicity, immunogenicity, benefit escalating doses...
The coordination of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) with Primary Care (PC) is necessary for the continuity care patients fragility fractures. This study proposes a Best Practice Framework (BPF) and performance indicators implementation follow-up FLS-PC in clinical practice Spain.To develop BPF FLS PC Spain to improve fractures.A Steering Committee selected experts from seven Spanish related doctors nurses participate best workshop. Selection criteria were an active identified champion prior...
LBA10012 Background: HG affects a substantial percentage of TCS and can contribute to significant morbidity, but few studies have examined the relationship between adverse health outcomes (AHO), taking into account genetic variation. Methods: Eligible were < 55 y at diagnosis treated with only first line chemotherapy after 1990. underwent physical exams genotyping, completed questionnaires regarding 16 AHO behaviors. was defined as serum testosterone ≤ 3.0 ng/mL or use replacement...
e18562 Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients are at increased risk of fever and infection. This study aims to investigate outcomes in this population during their hospitalization. Methods: A total 108 HSCT recipients from 2002-2014 were included retrospective single-center study. Patients if they had a febrile episode defined by IDSA as temperature > 100.4°F while being neutropenic with ANC < 1500 cells/mm3. Gender was equally distributed 53 females 55 males. then...
Background and objective: The results of studies support the hypothesis that scabies is on rise in Spain. There are also concerns about possible development resistance to treatment an increase atypical presentations. aims this study were describe demographic clinical profile patients with seen by dermatologists Spain, identify emergence forms scabies, explore frequency failures associated risk factors. Methods: We conducted observational, cross-sectional, multicenter data collected...
Several studies support the hypothesis that scabies is on rise in Spain. There are also concerns about possible development of resistance to treatment and an increase atypical presentations. The aims this study were describe demographic clinical characteristics patients with seen by dermatologists Spain, identify emergence forms scabies, explore frequency failures associated risk factors.
193 Background: CIPN has a known negative impact on quality of life (QoL) and can be dose-limiting side effect cytotoxic drugs with no generally agreed upon therapeutic intervention. In this study MT was assessed as primary secondary preventive modality symptoms under the hypothesis that it used an effective prophylactic option. Methods: A single arm 10-week prospective (n = 62) pre/post intervention assessment using validated survey instrument adapted from “Peripheral neuropathy associated...
e14068 Background: Based on in vitro studies, C6-ceramide has proven synergistic activity with chemotherapeutic drugs several different types of cancer. The aim forthis study was to compare growth inhibition percentage cytostatics 5-fluoruracil (5-FU),oxaliplatin (Ox) and cetuximab (Cet) or without KRAS wild type (KRAS WT)and mutant Mut) colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines (SW48 SW480,respectively). Through this experiment, the potential benefits combination therapy chemotherapy could be...
9625 Background: CAM encompasses a diverse group of interventions not generally considered to be part COT. The objective this study is describe the characteristics, factors and patient reported experiences associated with use by patients (pts) receiving Methods: An IRB approved, 14 item questionnaire was offered all pts COT at single institution cancer center over defined 2 mo interval. Demographics, prevalence type used; as well specific questions define oncologist endorsement in...
e24116 Background: Current financial toxicity (FT) screening tools rely on patient-reported risk factors (RF) 1 . Underrepresented populations may not be forthcoming about FT fears due to cultural concerns of treatment withholding or migratory repercussions, if applicable 1–4. Identifying objective RF, such as social determinants health (SDH) and disease-specific (DSF), could reduce in cancer patients healthcare systems. Methods: This was a multi-center retrospective study evaluating SDH DSF...
68 Background: Clinical trial (CT) diversity remains low despite numerous countermeasures. We investigated barriers to CT participation in our racially/ethnically diverse cancer population while considering loco-regional differences. Methods: An IRB-approved 32-item survey was administered eligible patients English or Spanish depending on patient preference. Comparisons were made between groups with ANOVA for age and chi square tests categorical variables using an alpha of 0.05. Results: 276...
619 Background: Cetuximab (Cet) is beneficial for patients with metastatic KRAS Wild type (WT) colorectal cancer (mCRC) only. C6-Ceramide (C6-Cer) can act synergistically chemotherapy to induce cell death. The aim of this study was compare growth inhibition percentage (GIP) cytostatics 5-fluoruracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin (Ox) and Cet or without C6-Cer in WT mutant (KRAS Mut) CRC lines (SW48 SW480, respectively). Methods: Both were incubated IC50 concentrations test drugs. Drug included 0.8µM...
e16535 Background: About half of the pts operated for residual RP mass after chemo NSGCT do not benefit from surgery because contains only necrosis. We sought to assess accuracy “intuition” or experienced guess by urologists at a large tertiary referral center identifying malignant tumors (teratoma and/or viable cancer cells) primary disseminated NSGCT. Methods: included with persistent who were referred urology clinic assessment post lymph node dissection (PC RPLND). All had normal tumor...
Virtual medicine (VM) use increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as it represented a safe alternative to traditional face-to-face health care delivery. This prospective cross-sectional study aimed characterize preferences and perceived barriers VM on basis of language specific sociodemographic variables while also identifying particular subpopulations at risk dissatisfaction regarding VM.An institutional review board-approved, 23-item questionnaire was offered in English Spanish. Examined...

We decided study the role of Barrio Advantage (BA), living in ethnically similar communities leading health advantage, by taking into account acculturation our patients hopes identifying potential avenues educate population minimize healthcare delivery gaps. Methods: A 15-item IRB-approved...
