Background
Cervical cancer is 1 of the most common cancers in females worldwide. Understanding the most recent global patterns and temporal trends of cervical cancer burden might be helpful for its prevention and control.
Methods
Data on cervical cancer (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, code C53) incidence and mortality in 2018 were extracted from the GLOBOCAN 2018 database...
Background
The objective of this study was to describe bladder cancer outcomes as a function of race among patients with high‐risk non–muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in an equal‐access setting.
Methods
A total of 412 patients with high‐risk NMIBC who received bacille Calmette‐Guérin (BCG) from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2015, were assessed. The authors used the Kaplan‐Meier method...
Background
Patients with cancer prefer and positively perceive physicians who communicate face‐to‐face without the use of a computer. However, the use of electronic health records (EHRs) in the examination room remains a practical necessity. On the basis of existing literature, the authors developed and tested an integration model, PRIME‐EHR, that focuses on the best‐practice guidelines. To their...
Background
Research on cannabis use among those with a history of cancer is limited.
Methods
Prevalence of past‐year cannabis use among individuals with and without a cancer history and predictors of use within these 2 groups were determined using data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study, a nationally representative, longitudinal survey conducted in the United States (waves...
Background
Cancer and its treatment damage the musculoskeletal system and induce neurotoxicity, affecting the key sensory inputs for maintaining balance. The present study describes the pattern of balance impairment and evaluated its association with mortality among US cancer survivors.
Methods
Data on a nationally representative sample of cancer survivors from the US National Health and Nutrition...
Background
Systemic responses to cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in the management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are variable and difficult to anticipate. The authors aimed to determine the association of CN with modifiable International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) risk factors and oncological outcomes.
Methods
Consecutive patients with mRCC referred for...
Background
Aggressive large B‐cell lymphomas (LBCLs) are curable, but previous studies have shown inferior outcomes in minorities. Nurse navigation programs can improve patient outcomes by providing patient support. This study presents the outcomes of White and minority patients with aggressive LBCL at an institution with an active nurse navigation program.
Methods
The authors prospectively collected...
Background
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. However, data on spatial disparities in survival for breast cancer are limited in the country. This study estimated 5‐year relative survival (RS) of female breast cancer and examined the spatial variations across the contiguous United States.
Methods
Women newly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003‐2010 in the...
Background
It is critical patients understand the terms used to describe oncology treatments; however, even basic chemotherapy terminology can be misunderstood. Rural communities tend to have especially low levels of health literacy compared with nonrural communities. To address low health literacy in rural communities, this study tested rural participants' understanding of previously developed educational...
Background
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic continues to spread, it remains unclear how vulnerable populations with preexisting health conditions like cancer have been affected.
Methods
Between July and September of 2020, the authors conducted a cross‐sectional study that surveyed 2661 patients with breast cancer who were registered in the Chicago Multiethnic Epidemiologic Breast...
Background
Several clinical studies of vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF/VEGFR) therapy as a second‐line treatment for biliary tract cancer (BTC) have shown modest efficacy. In this study, surufatinib was evaluated as a second‐line VEGFR therapy in patients with BTC.
Methods
This was a single‐arm, multicenter, open‐label phase 2 study conducted...
BACKGROUND
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is an adverse effect of antiresorptive treatment. This study estimated incidence proportions and incidence rates of ONJ in cancer patients with bone metastases from solid tumors treated for the prevention of skeletal‐related events in routine clinical practice.
METHODS
This cohort study in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in 2011‐2018 included 3 treatment cohorts:...
Background
The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between postoperative weight change and breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL).
Methods
In this cohort study, 1161 women underwent unilateral breast surgery for breast cancer from 2005 to 2020 and were prospectively screened for BCRL. Arm volume measurements were obtained via an optoelectronic perometer preoperatively, postoperatively,...
