Background
We compared overall survival (OS) between radiation therapy (RT) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) using a large database.
Methods
The National Cancer Data Base was queried for ATC patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2013 who received RT or CRT. Groups were balanced by propensity score matching (PSM) on nine relevant variables. OS was also...
Background
The prognostic relevance of human papillomavirus (HPV) status in patients with nonoropharyngeal (OPX) squamous cell cancer (SCC) of the head and neck is controversial. In the current study, the authors evaluated the impact of high‐risk HPV status on overall survival (OS) in patients with non‐OPX SCC using a large database approach.
Methods
The National Cancer Data Base was queried to...
Objectives
The patterns of care for salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) are unknown. We sought to assess predictors of receiving postoperative radiation and/or chemotherapy for patients with nonmetastatic, definitively resected ACC, as well as report unexpected nodal disease.
Methods
The National Cancer Data Base was queried for definitively resected nonmetastatic ACC from 2004 to 2014...
BACKGROUND
To the authors' knowledge, the practice patterns for patients aged more than 80 years with stage III non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not well known. The purpose of the current study was to investigate factors predictive of and the impact on overall survival (OS) after concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) among patients aged ≥80 years with American Joint Committee on Cancer stage III NSCLC...
