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

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

Cancer Incidence in Living Liver Donors After Donor Hepatectomy
J Korean Med Sci. 2023 Sep 4;38(35):e277. doi: 10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e277.ABSTRACTLiving liver donors (LLDs) are screened for transmissible diseases including cancer. We investigated the actual cancer incidence of LLDs compared with a matched healthy control group from the general Korean population using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Services (NHIS). A total of 12,372 LLDs who donated a liver graft between 2002 and 2018 were registered in the Korean Network for Organ Sharing. They were compared to a matched healthy control group selected from the Korean NHIS. Cancer diagnosis was identified in 175 LLDs (1.4...

Economic burden of cancer attributable to modifiable risk factors in Japan
This study aimed to estimate the economic burden of cancer attributable to major lifestyle and environmental risk factors in Japan in 2015. We evaluated the economic cost of cancer attributable to modifiable risk factors from a societal perspective. We obtained the direct medical costs for 2015 from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan, and estimated the indirect costs of premature mortality and of morbidity due to cancer using the relevant national surveys in Japan. Finally, we estimated the economic cost of cancer associated with lifestyle and environmental risk factors. ...

Determinants of Cervical Cancer Screening Among Women Aged 30-49 Years Old in Four African Countries: A Cross-Sectional Secondary Data Analysis
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of cervical cancer screening in Kenya, Cameroon, Nambia, and Zimbabwe was low as compared to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Age, residence, work status, smoking status, women's age at first birth, condom use, husbands having work, wealth status, and health insurance were the identified determinants of cervical cancer screening. Programme and policy interventions could address younger, rural residence women, poor wealth status women, women without work, and those who never use health insurance for the uptake of cervical cancer screening.PMID:37656980 | DOI:10.1177/10732748231195681

Self-reported barriers to screening breast MRI among women at high risk for breast cancer
CONCLUSIONS: High-risk women reported low uptake of screening breast MRI, indicating a gap in guideline-concordant care. Breast cancer knowledge and screening-supportive social norms are two key areas to target in future interventions. Data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic and generalizability of results is unclear. Future studies with larger, more heterogeneous samples are needed to replicate these findings.PMID:37640965 | DOI:10.1007/s10549-023-07085-w

Short-term effects of national smoking cessation service on smoking-related disease prevalence and healthcare costs: Experience from the National Health Insurance Service Smoking Cessation Intervention Program in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: Cessation service users were more likely to seek healthcare. Increased healthcare utilization in the first year after cessation service use may have resulted from smoking-related conditions that led individuals to attempt smoking cessation.PMID:37637229 | PMC:PMC10448735 | DOI:10.18332/tid/169654

Combinations of lifestyle behaviors and cancer risk among Korean adults
This study aimed to identify the latent classes based on lifestyle behavior trajectories and to investigate the association between these latent classes and cancer risk. Participants in the 2002-2003 National Health Insurance Service general health examination were included. Data on smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity measured four times between 2002 and 2009 were analyzed. Incident cancer cases were tracked from 2010 to 2018. Patterns of alcohol drinking, smoking, BMI, and physical activity and latent classes based on trajectories of smoking, alcohol drinking, BMI, and physical activity...

Health and disability status among middle-aged and older adult cancer survivors: a case-control study
CONCLUSION: The study highlights the importance of factors such as time since diagnosis and the number of cancer sites in influencing health outcomes among survivors. Additionally, socioeconomic factors, such as wealth and access to health insurance, appear to play a role in the health status of cancer survivors.IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Healthcare policies should recognize the long-term impact of cancer and prioritize the provision of long-term survivorship care. This may involve establishing survivorship clinics or dedicated healthcare centres that provide specialized care for cancer survivors, addressing their ...

Initial Cancer Treatment in Certified Versus Non-Certified Hospitals: Results of the WiZen Comparative Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: The WiZen study shows for the entities studied that initial cancer treatment in a certified center is associated with lower mortality. Despite the recommendations of the National Cancer Plan, however, more than 40% of all cancer patients still receive their initial treatment in a non-certified hospital. The preferential provision of initial care in certified hospitals would be likely to improve overall survival. Although the study design does not permit any conclusion with regard to causality, the findings seem robust considering that a control group was used, confounders were taken into account, and the study ...

The effects of hospice care on healthcare expenditure among cancer patients
CONCLUSION: Healthcare expenditure was reduced among those cancer patients in South Korea who used hospice care compared with among those who did not. This emphasizes the importance of using hospice care and encourages those hesitant to use hospice care. The results provide useful insights into both official policy and the existing practices of healthcare systems.PMID:37550691 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-023-09578-2

Medication Adherence in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies who are Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Survivors: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: Facilitators and barriers to medication adherence can be physical, psychological, organizational, or social. Further, there are many aspects of the medication regimens that significantly increase patient distress. Hence, supportive interventions to improve medication adherence in patients undergoing HSCT may need to incorporate strategies to manage medication side-effects and skills to improve psychological well-being and social support.PMID:37516379 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtct.2023.07.019
