Risk of thromboembolic events associated with different multiple myeloma regimens in Taiwan: a nested case-control study
J Thromb Thrombolysis. 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1007/s11239-023-02887-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough novel agents for multiple myeloma (MM) have a better response rate and survival in both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory MM patients, concerns regarding the association between MM treatments and thromboembolic events have been raised. The aim of this population-based study was to examine the association between different combinations of MM treatments and the risk of thromboembolic events. We conducted a nested case-control study using the Taiwan Cancer Registry (TCR) and National Health Insurance Research Data...

Prevalence and predictors of colorectal cancer screening in the United States: evidence from the HINTS database 2018 to 2020
CONCLUSION: CRC screening rates among adults 45-49 years are low but are increasing steadily. Odds of CRC screening among Blacks is high which is encouraging while the odds among current smokers is low and concerning given their increased risk of developing CRC.PMID:37737304 | DOI:10.1007/s10552-023-01795-8

Disparities in Timeliness of Endometrial Cancer Care: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence gaps on disparities in timeliness of endometrial cancer care reveal emphasis of patient-driven help-seeking delays, reliance on health care-derived databases, underutilization of participatory methods, and a paucity of intervention studies.SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: Given that PROSPERO was not accepting systematic scoping review protocols at the time this study began, this study protocol was shared a priori through Open Science Framework on January 13, 2021 (doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/V2ZXY), and through peer review publication on April 13, 2021 (doi: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-021-01649-x).PMID:37...

Comparative Analysis of First-Line FOLFOX Treatment With and Without Anti-VEGF Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma: A Real-World Data Study
CONCLUSION: Our real-world data analysis suggests that the addition of anti-VEGF to FOLFOX offers limited and short-lived benefits in the context of mCRC and may provide differential survival benefit based on tumor sidedness.PMID:37724508 | DOI:10.1177/10732748231202470

Perceived Level of Life Enjoyment and Risk of Developing Disabling Dementia: The Japan Public Health Center-Based Study
DISCUSSION: A higher level of life enjoyment was associated with a lower risk of disabling dementia, particularly in the low-medium mental stress group. This finding suggests the importance of having life enjoyment by managing mental stress for reducing risk of disabling dementia.PMID:37718836 | DOI:10.1093/geronb/gbad129

Equitable implementation of lung cancer screening: avoiding its potential to mirror existing inequities among people who use tobacco
CONCLUSION: The present commentary utilizes information about historical trends in tobacco use to highlight opportunities for targeted outreach efforts to engage communities at high risk with information about the lung cancer screening opportunity. Future efforts toward equitable implementation of lung cancer screening should focus on multi-level implementation strategies that engage and work in concert with community partners to co-create approaches that leverage strengths and reduce barriers within specific communities to achieve the potential of lung cancer screening.PMID:37713024 | DOI:10.1007/s10552-023-01790-z

The Effects of High Deductible Health Plans on Breast Cancer Treatment and Reconstruction
CONCLUSION: The cost-sharing burden of HDHPs creates the potential for patients to forego care, and thus, effort should be directed toward increasing patient education concerning health plan benefits. Utilization of postdeductible spending, as well as resources of health savings accounts, may limit the adverse effects of HDHPs. This study also emphasizes the importance for providers to increase cost transparency.PMID:37709587 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2023.08.006

Socioeconomic determinants of racial disparities in survival outcomes among patients with renal cell carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Black patients with RCC demonstrate worse survival outcomes compared to White patients across all stages. Socioeconomic disparities between races play a significant role in influencing survival in RCC.PMID:37709565 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.08.016

Value of PET imaging in head and neck cancer
HNO. 2023 Sep 13. doi: 10.1007/s00106-023-01354-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe combination of positron-emission tomography (PET) with cross-sectional imaging in particular is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of head and neck tumors because, in addition to pure anatomy, the metabolic activity of tissue can be visualized and assessed. The combination of PET and computed tomography (CT) is already an established procedure in head and neck tumor patients in some indications, e.g., for primary tumor detection in cancer of unknown primary (CUP) syndrome or also after completed primary radio(chemo)therapy fo...

Improving diverse participation in cancer clinical trials
Trans Am Clin Climatol Assoc. 2023;133:149-156.ABSTRACTDespite significant improvement in overall cancer mortality (>30% since 1991), these survival benefits have not been experienced by all groups uniformly especially in those of diverse heritage. Drivers of cancer health inequity are multi-factorial including more adverse social determinants of health, later stage cancer presentation, decreased health care access, decreased health literacy, and cultural barriers to prompt cancer care. Adding to these disparities is the historical inclusion of primarily well-insured Caucasian patients into cancer clinical trials leadin...
