Introduction
The staging and treatment of axillary nodes in breast cancer have become a focus of research. For breast cancer patients with fine‐needle aspiration—or core needle biopsy—confirmed positive nodes, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is still a standard treatment. However, some patients achieve an axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) after...
Background
Evidence is required to quantify the population‐level effects of endoscopic screening for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the long‐term effectiveness of 1‐time endoscopic ESCC screening in a Chinese rural population.
Methods
This community‐based cohort study was based on an existing esophageal cancer screening program in Feicheng...
Background
The purpose of this study was to estimate the proportion of Chinese cancer survivors experiencing financial hardship and then examine the relationship between material and behavioral financial hardship.
Methods
This study surveyed 964 cancer survivors who were 30 to 64 years old and 644 survivors who were 65 years old or older during 2015‐2016 (1608 survivors in all). Material financial...
Background
China accounts for approximately 27% of global cancer deaths. However, to the authors' knowledge, the lasting effects of cancer and cancer treatments on patients have not been investigated in China. The authors developed a questionnaire, the China Survey of Experiences with Cancer, for Chinese cancer survivors. This article introduces the study design and domains covered in the questionnaire...
BACKGROUND
Cancer survivors transfused with blood products before reliable screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) are at risk for infection. This study examined the impact of HCV on neurocognitive function and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) among adult survivors of childhood cancer.
METHODS
Neurocognitive testing was conducted for 836 adult survivors of childhood cancer (mean age, 35 years...
BACKGROUNDChildhood cancer survivors are at risk for emotional distress symptoms, but symptom comorbidity has not been previously examined. This study examined distress profiles for adult survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed between 1970 and 1999.
METHODSSelf‐reported depression, anxiety, and somatization symptoms from Brief Symptom Inventory 18 were examined in survivors (n = 16,079) and siblings...
BACKGROUNDChildhood cancer survivors (CCSs) are at risk for obesity. The purpose of this project was to determine which clinical measures of body composition are most accurate among CCSs in comparison with dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA).
METHODSThe agreement between the body mass index (BMI), skinfold percent body fat, and waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) and DXA was evaluated among 1361 CCSs...
BACKGROUNDSurvivors of childhood cancer treated with central nervous system (CNS)–directed therapy may be at risk for poor health care utilization because of neurocognitive deficits. This study examined associations between neurocognitive function and adherence to routine and risk‐based medical evaluations in adult survivors exposed to CNS‐directed therapy.
METHODSNeurocognitive function and health...
BACKGROUNDAdult survivors of childhood cancer are at risk for suicide ideation, although longitudinal patterns and rates of recurrent suicide ideation are unknown. This study investigated the prevalence of late report (ie, after initial assessment) and recurrent suicide ideation in adult survivors of childhood cancer, identified predictors of suicide ideation, and examined associations among suicide...
