Background
Young adults and other working‐age adults with cancer are at risk for cancer‐related financial toxicity (FT), including material hardships, depletion of coping resources, and psychological burden. This study compares FT domains in young adults (18‐39 years old) (YAs), other working‐age adults (40‐64 years old), and older adults (≥65 years old) receiving cancer care.
Methods
A total of...
Background
Single‐institution studies have shown the oncologic benefit of ablative liver radiotherapy (A‐RT) for patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). However, adoption of A‐RT across the United States and its associated outcomes are unknown.
Methods
We queried the National Cancer Data Base for nonsurgically managed patients with ICC diagnosed between 2004 and 2018....
BACKGROUND
No consensus exists regarding the use of radiotherapy (RT) in conjunction with high‐dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC/ASCT) for patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The objectives of the current study were to characterize practice patterns and assess the efficacy and toxicity of RT at 2 major transplantation centers.

BACKGROUND:Single‐institution data suggest that treatment with radiation and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) may be an appropriate alternative to mastectomy for T0N+ breast cancer. Population‐based multi‐institutional data supporting this approach are lacking.
METHODS:The cause‐specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of women with T0N+M0 ductal, lobular, or mixed breast cancer in...
BACKGROUND:In prior studies, the use of standard breast cancer treatments has varied by race, but previous analyses were not nationally representative. Therefore, in a comprehensive, national cohort of Medicare patients, racial disparities in the use of radiotherapy (RT) after breast‐conserving surgery (BCS) for invasive breast cancer were quantified.
METHODS:A national Medicare database was used...
