Background
To test whether nomograms developed by NRG Oncology for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients could be validated in an independent population‐based sample.
Methods
The authors tested nomograms for estimating progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients from the Veterans Health Administration with previously untreated locoregionally advanced OPSCC,...
Background
Clinical guidelines recommend that providers risk‐stratify patients with cancer before prescribing opioids. Prior research has demonstrated that a simple cancer opioid risk score might help identify to patients with cancer at the time of diagnosis with a high likelihood of long‐term posttreatment opioid use. This current project validates this cancer opioid risk score in a generalizable,...
Background
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the effectiveness of intensive treatment for locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC) depends on the proportion of patients' overall event risk attributable to cancer.
Methods
This study analyzed 22,339 patients with LAHNC treated in 81 randomized trials testing altered fractionation (AFX; Meta‐Analysis of Radiotherapy in...
Background
African American (AA) men in the general US population are more than twice as likely to die of prostate cancer (PC) compared with non‐Hispanic white (NHW) men. The authors hypothesized that receiving care through the Veterans Affairs (VA) health system, an equal‐access medical system, would attenuate this disparity.
Methods
A longitudinal, centralized database of >20 million veterans...
