Treatment and survival of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis associated hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: The incidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is increasing worldwide and a poorly defined subset of patients develops end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Differences in the biological behaviour, tumour characteristics, associated risk factors, treatment outcomes and overall survival of patients with NASH-HCC remain poorly defined. The aim of this study was to determine and analyze these differences in a large clinical cohort to guide treatment decisions. Methods: 1119 patients with HCC treated in an 11 year period at the University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg Unive...

Abstract PR04: Functional mobility disparities in older African American women with cancer in a multisite lay navigation program in the Deep South
Conclusions: AA oncogeriatric females have a greater number of high risk diseases and functional mobility limitations that affect their health, compared to Caucasians. By identifying functional mobility limitations early, proactive interventions can be implemented, monitored, and adjusted to modify or resolve mobility problems that can lead to disability and health disparities in oncogeriatric females. LNs can effectively use the DT to identify functional mobility problems and empower female oncogeriatrics to resolve them; improving health and decreasing health disparities. Data will be used to continue expanding the knowl...

Safety of long-term exposure to abiraterone acetate in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and concomitant cardiovascular risk factors
Conclusions: Long-term abiraterone treatment was well tolerated in mCRPC patients with controlled cardiovascular comorbidities/risk factors, with no apparent worsening of cardiovascular conditions from baseline over an extended observation period.

The right to be forgotten: a change in access to insurance and loans after childhood cancer?
ConclusionThis study showed that the financial burden of cancer can extend decades after diagnosis.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsThanks to a 2016 law, French cancer survivors no longer have to disclose their cancer to insurers after a fixed number of years. This law will probably lessen the socioeconomic burden of cancer.

Cardiac Complications in the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Patient
AbstractPurpose of ReviewDue to advancements in oncologic treatment strategies and techniques, the number of survivors who have undergone hematopoetic stem cell transplant (HCT) continues to increase in the United States; this number is projected to reach 502,000 by the year 2030. There is significant interest within the field of cardio-oncology to identify cardiotoxicity and cardiovascular disease in the HCT population. Epidemiologic studies analyzing both short- and long-term cardiovascular effects, risk stratification modeling, cardioprotective strategies, and expert consensus documents for cardiotoxicity surveillance r...

Mammography use in relation to comorbidities and functional limitations among older breast cancer survivors
ConclusionsA higher burden of functional limitations, not comorbidities, is associated with a lower rate of mammography use among older breast cancer survivors.Implications for cancer survivorsInterventions are needed to individualize surveillance mammography among older breast cancer survivors based on their health status.

Baseline cardiovascular comorbidities, and the influence on cancer treatment decision-making in women with breast cancer
CONCLUSION: While recent guidelines recommend routine assessment of cardiovascular comorbidities in cancer patients prior to initiation of anticancer therapies, this study highlights the prevailing gap in knowledge on how such data may be used to optimise cancer treatment decision-making.PMID:34824616 | PMC:PMC8580595 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2021.1293
