Background
Children with leukemia and Down syndrome (DS) are at higher risk of acute treatment toxicities than those without DS. Whether late toxicity risks are also elevated is unknown.
Methods
The authors identified all patients diagnosed with leukemia before the age of 18 years in Ontario, Canada between 1987 and 2013 and who survived greater than 5 years since their last pediatric cancer event...
BACKGROUNDA significant share of the cost of cancer care is concentrated in the end‐of‐life period. Although quality measures of aggressive treatment may guide optimal care during this timeframe, little is known about whether these metrics affect costs of care.
METHODSThis study used population data to identify a cohort of patients who died of cancer in Ontario, Canada (2005‐2009). Individuals were...
BACKGROUNDDespite their rising incidence, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remain a poorly understood disease. Living in a rural area (RA) affects the incidence and outcomes of other types of cancer. This study compared the incidence and outcomes of NETs for patients in RAs and patients in urban areas (UAs).
METHODSA population‐based cohort study of patients with NETs in Ontario, Canada from 1994 to...
BACKGROUNDAn increased incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has been reported worldwide, but the reasons underlying this rise have not been identified. By assessing patterns of metastatic presentation, this study sought to examine the epidemiologic characteristics of NETs and the contribution of early‐stage detection to the rising incidence.
METHODSA population‐based retrospective cohort study...
