Background
To the authors' knowledge, studies regarding risk perception among survivors of thyroid cancer are scarce.
Methods
The authors surveyed patients who were diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries of Georgia and Los Angeles County (2632 patients; 63% response rate). The analytic cohort was defined by a ≤5% risk of disease...
BACKGROUND
Salivary gland carcinomas (SGCs) are a rare malignancy with unknown etiology. The objective of the current study was to identify genetic variants modifying the risk of SGC and its major subtypes: adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
METHODS
The authors conducted a genome‐wide association study in 309 well‐defined SGC cases and 535 cancer‐free controls. A single‐nucleotide...
BACKGROUNDSurveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program registries began collecting new data items, known as site‐specific factors (SSFs), related to breast cancer treatment, prediction, and prognosis under the Collaborative Stage version 2 (CSv2) Data Collection System for cases diagnosed in 2010. The objectives of this report are to: 1) assess the completeness of the new SSFs and discuss...
BACKGROUNDThe Collaborative Stage (CS) Data Collection System enables multiple cancer registration programs to document anatomic and molecular pathology features that contribute to the Tumor (T), Node (N), Metastasis (M) — TNM — system of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). This article highlights changes in CS for colon and rectal carcinomas as TNM moved from the AJCC 6th to the 7th editions...
BACKGROUNDThe American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 7th edition introduced major changes in the staging of lung cancer, including the tumor (T), node (N), metastasis (M)—TNM—system and new stage/prognostic site‐specific factors (SSFs), collected under the Collaborative Stage Version 2 (CSv2) Data Collection System. The intent was to improve the stage precision that could guide treatment options...
BACKGROUNDThe authors investigated the prevalence of pretreatment urinary, sexual, hormonal, and bowel dysfunction in a contemporary, population‐based prostate cancer cohort. They also explored the associations between baseline function and age, comorbidity, and timing of baseline survey completion with respect to treatment.
METHODSThe Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery and Radiation (CEASAR)...
BACKGROUND:In head and neck cancer (HNC), 3‐month post‐treatment positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) reliably identifies persistent/recurrent disease. However, further PET/CT surveillance has unclear benefit. The impact of post‐treatment PET/CT surveillance on outcomes is assessed at 12 and 24 months.
METHODS:A 10‐year retrospective analysis of HNC patients was carried out...
BACKGROUND:A minimum of 12 dissected lymph nodes (LNs) has been recommended as a consensus guideline for resections in colon cancer patients. This study assessed the influence of both socioeconomic status (SES) and hospital type on compliance with this colon LN dissection guideline and examined the time trend for ≥12 LNs dissected.
METHODS:Stage I to III incident colon cancer cases diagnosed from...
