Background
Depression is common among breast cancer patients and can affect concordance with guideline‐recommended treatment plans. Yet, the impact of depression on cancer treatment and survival is understudied, particularly in relation to the timing of the depression diagnosis.
Methods
The Kentucky Cancer Registry data was used to identify female patients diagnosed with primary invasive breast...
Population‐based cancer registries have improved dramatically over the last 2 decades. These central cancer registries provide a critical framework that can elevate the science of cancer research. There have also been important technical and scientific advances that help to unlock the potential of population‐based cancer registries. These advances include improvements in probabilistic record linkage,...
BACKGROUND
Results from the second CONCORD study (CONCORD‐2) indicated that 5‐year net survival for lung cancer was low (range, 10%‐20%) between 1995 and 2009 in most countries, including the United States, which was at the higher end of this range.
METHODS
Data from CONCORD‐2 were used to analyze net survival among patients with lung cancer (aged 15‐99 years) who were diagnosed in 37 states covering...
BACKGROUND
The 5‐year relative survival for prostate cancers diagnosed between 1990 and 1994 in the United States was very high (92%); however, survival in black males was 7% lower compared with white males. The authors updated these findings and examined survival by stage and race.
METHODS
The authors used data from the CONCORD‐2 study for males (ages 15‐99 years) who were diagnosed with prostate...
BACKGROUND:Definitive local therapy of early stage breast cancer includes adjuvant radiotherapy after breast‐conserving surgery (BCS). The authors analyzed factors that influence the receipt of radiotherapy therapy and their resultant impact on outcome.
METHODS:Using data from the Kentucky Cancer Registry, the authors analyzed the rate of adjuvant radiotherapy for 11,914 women who underwent BCS as...
