Background
New ultrasensitive methods for detecting residual disease after surgery are needed in human papillomavirus–associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+OPSCC).
Methods
To determine whether the clearance kinetics of circulating tumor human papillomavirus DNA (ctHPVDNA) is associated with postoperative disease status, a prospective observational study was conducted in 33 patients...
Background
Although increasing evidence has suggested that an efficacy‐effectiveness gap exists between clinical trial (CT) and real‐world evidence (RWE), to the authors' knowledge, the magnitude of this difference remains undercharacterized. The objective of the current study was to quantify the magnitude of survival and toxicity differences between CT and RWE for contemporary cancer systemic therapies...
Background
Globally, the rising cost of anticancer therapy has motivated efforts to quantify the overall value of new cancer treatments. Multicriteria decision analysis offers a novel approach to incorporate multiple criteria and perspectives into value assessment.
Methods
The authors recruited a diverse, multistakeholder group who identified and weighted key criteria to establish the drug assessment...
BACKGROUND
There is a paucity of information about treatment and mortality trends after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for cancer survivors (CS).
METHODS
In this population‐based study, the authors compared temporal trends of treatments and outcomes (mortality, nonfatal cardiovascular outcomes), among CS and patients without cancer (the noncancer patient [NCP] group) with AMI in Ontario (Canada)...
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of modeling cancer drug wastage in economic evaluations because wastage can result from single‐dose vials on account of body surface area– or weight‐based dosing.
METHODS
Intravenous chemotherapy drugs were identified from the pan‐Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR) program as of January 2015. Economic evaluations performed by...
BACKGROUNDThe Canadian health care system provides equitable access to equivalent standards of care. The authors investigated to determine whether patients with breast cancer who had different socioeconomic status (SES) received different care and had different overall survival (OS) in Ontario, Canada.
METHODSWomen who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 2004 and 2009 were identified from the...
BACKGROUNDEstrogen receptor (ER) and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) are associated with thyroid tumorigenesis and treatment. However, the interaction between them has not been studied.
METHODSThe impact of ER over‐expression or down‐expression by DNA/small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection, ERα agonists, and the ERβ agonist diarylpropiolnitrile (DPN) on PPARγ expression/activity...
