PurposeGuidelines on mammographic surveillance after breast cancer treatment have been disseminated internationally and incorporated into Choosing Wisely recommendations to reduce low-value care. However, adherence within different countries before their publication is unknown.Methods and MaterialsLow-value mammography, defined as “short-interval” (within 6 months of radiation) or “high-frequency” (>1 within 12 months of radiation), was compared in Medicare fee-for-service in the United States and Ontario, Canada. Women ≥65 years diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent breast-conserving therapy with a minimum of 24 months of follow-up were included (n = 19,715 United States; 6479 Ontario). Secondary outcomes were patient and physician characteristics associated with discordance.ResultsShort-interval mammography was higher in the United States than in Ontario (55.9% vs 38.0%, P < .001), as was high-frequency (39.6% vs 7.9%, P < .001). In Ontario, younger age (42% ≥85 vs 58% <74 years, P < .001) and chemotherapy (69% vs 51%, P < .001) were associated with short-interval mammography; in the United States, age, earlier diagnosis year, stage, chemotherapy, rurality, and academic center treatment were associated with greater use. Chemotherapy was associated with high-frequency mammography in both countries (13% vs 7% in Ontario, P < .001; 69% vs 51% in United States, P = .02); younger age, earlier diagnosis year, stage, and nonacademic center treatment were associated in the United States. In both countries, radiation oncologists had the highest proportion of providers ordering low-value mammograms.ConclusionsDespite significant evidence guiding surveillance mammography recommendations, there are high rates of short-interval mammography in both the United States and Ontario, and high rates of high-frequency mammography in the United States. Further international efforts, such as Choosing Wisely, are needed to reduce low-value mammography. 相似文献

In the phase III RADIANT‐4 study, everolimus improved median progression‐free survival (PFS) by 7.1 months in patients with advanced, progressive, well‐differentiated (grade 1 or grade 2), non‐functional lung or gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) vs placebo (hazard ratio, 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35‐0.67; P < .00001). This exploratory analysis reports the outcomes of the subgroup of patients with lung NETs. In RADIANT‐4, patients were randomized (2:1) to everolimus 10 mg/d or placebo, both with best supportive care. This is a post hoc analysis of the lung subgroup with PFS, by central radiology review, as the primary endpoint; secondary endpoints included objective response rate and safety measures. Ninety of the 302 patients enrolled in the study had primary lung NET (everolimus, n = 63; placebo, n = 27). Median PFS (95% CI) by central review was 9.2 (6.8‐10.9) months in the everolimus arm vs 3.6 (1.9‐5.1) months in the placebo arm (hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.28‐0.88). More patients who received everolimus (58%) experienced tumor shrinkage compared with placebo (13%). Most frequently reported (≥5% incidence) grade 3‐4 drug‐related adverse events (everolimus vs. placebo) included stomatitis (11% vs. 0%), hyperglycemia (10% vs. 0%), and any infections (8% vs. 0%). In patients with advanced, progressive, well‐differentiated, non‐functional lung NET, treatment with everolimus was associated with a median PFS improvement of 5.6 months, with a safety profile similar to that of the overall RADIANT‐4 cohort. These results support the use of everolimus in patients with advanced, non‐functional lung NET. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (no. NCT01524783). 相似文献

Introduction
The use of surveillance computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in remission is neither effective nor cost-effective. The American Society of Hematology Choosing Wisely (CW) campaign, in particular, emphasizes the lack of benefit beyond 2 years of completion of therapy. We sought to describe the real-world practice of surveillance imaging.Patients and Methods
We used population-based health system administrative databases from Ontario, Canada. We studied a cohort of all adult patients ≥ 18 years with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received rituximab (R) with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) between 2004 and 2012. We defined an index date of 2 years after the last dose of RCHOP as the time frame beyond which surveillance imaging would be inappropriate. The cumulative incidence of receiving CT scans after the index date represented the primary outcome of interest.Results
The cohort consisted of 2401 patients treated with RCHOP during the study period. The cumulative incidence reached 52.5% (range, 50.4%-54.6%) by 3 years of follow-up. On multivariable analysis, patients with more comorbidities and within certain geographic regions within the province were noted to have increased CT scanning. The cumulative incidence appeared to decrease over the study follow-up period (from 62.4% in 2006 to 48.0% in 2014; P < .001).Conclusion
During a timeframe in which surveillance imaging is deemed unnecessary by the CW campaign, the practice remains excessive. Regional variations in CT scanning suggest that local practice patterns can be targeted to reduce imaging. A recent decline in scanning may reflect a broadening appreciation for the evidence against surveillance or uptake of the CW campaign. 相似文献8.

Emergency department (ED) use is a concern for surgery patients, physicians and health administrators particularly during a pandemic. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the pandemic on ED use following cancer-directed surgeries. This is a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing cancer-directed surgeries comparing ED use from 7 January 2018 to 14 March 2020 (pre-pandemic) and 15 March 2020 to 27 June 2020 (pandemic) in Ontario, Canada. Logistic regression models were used to (1) determine the association between pandemic vs. pre-pandemic periods and the odds of an ED visit within 30 days after discharge from hospital for surgery and (2) to assess the odds of an ED visit being of high acuity (level 1 and 2 as per the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale). Of our cohort of 499,008 cancer-directed surgeries, 468,879 occurred during the pre-pandemic period and 30,129 occurred during the pandemic period. Even though there was a substantial decrease in the general population ED rates, after covariate adjustment, there was no significant decrease in ED use among surgical patients (OR 1.002, 95% CI 0.957–1.048). However, the adjusted odds of an ED visit being of high acuity was 23% higher among surgeries occurring during the pandemic (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.14–1.33). Although ED visits in the general population decreased substantially during the pandemic, the rate of ED visits did not decrease among those receiving cancer-directed surgery. Moreover, those presenting in the ED post-operatively during the pandemic had significantly higher levels of acuity. 相似文献

Background Oral and gut microbiomes have emerged as potential biomarkers in cancer. We characterised the oral and gut microbiomes in a prospective observational cohort of HPV+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients and evaluated the impact of chemoradiotherapy (CRT).Methods Saliva, oropharyngeal swabs over the tumour site and stool were collected at baseline and post-CRT. 16S RNA and shotgun metagenomic sequencing were used to generate taxonomic profiles, including relative abundance (RA), bacterial density, α-diversity and β-diversity.Results A total of 132 samples from 22 patients were analysed. Baseline saliva and swabs had similar taxonomic composition (R2 = 0.006; p = 0.827). Oropharyngeal swabs and stool taxonomic composition varied significantly by stage, with increased oral RA of Fusobacterium nucleatum observed in stage III disease (p < 0.05). CRT significantly reduced the species richness and increased the RA of gut-associated taxa in oropharyngeal swabs (p < 0.05), while it had no effect in stool samples. These findings remained significant when adjusted by stage, smoking status and antibiotic use.Conclusions Baseline oral and gut microbiomes differ by stage in this HPV+ cohort. CRT caused a shift towards a gut-like microbiome composition in oropharyngeal swabs. Stage-specific features and the transitions in oral microbiome might have prognostic and therapeutic implications.Subject terms: Cancer microenvironment, Oral cancer 相似文献
