(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-05-01)
PURPOSE: Patients with cancer are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 disease, but have heterogeneous presentations and outcomes. Decision-making tools for hospital admission, severity prediction, and increased monitoring ...
Transportability of Overall Survival Estimates From US to Canadian Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Implications for Regulatory and Health Technology Assessment.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2022-11-01)
IMPORTANCE: The external validity of survival outcomes derived from clinical practice data from US patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not known and is of potential importance because it may be ...
Risk of breast cancer in men in relation to weight change: A national case-control study in England and Wales.
(WILEY, 2022-06-01)
Breast cancer is uncommon in men and knowledge about its causation limited. Obesity is a risk factor but there has been no investigation of whether weight change is an independent risk factor, as it is in women. In a ...
Outcome after treatment for sebaceous carcinoma: A multicenter study.
(WILEY, 2022-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare malignant tumour whereby, comprehensive long-term data are scarce. This study aimed to assess the outcome of patients treated with resection for SC. METHODS: Patients treated ...
Efficacy and Safety of TRC105 Plus Pazopanib vs Pazopanib Alone for Treatment of Patients With Advanced Angiosarcoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2022-05-01)
IMPORTANCE: Angiosarcoma is a rare sarcoma subtype with a poor outcome. Carotuximab plus pazopanib produced a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 7.8 months in pazopanib-naive patients with chemotherapy-refractory ...
Terrestrial reproduction and parental care drive rapid evolution in the trade-off between offspring size and number across amphibians.
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022-01-01)
The trade-off between offspring size and number is central to life history strategies. Both the evolutionary gain of parental care or more favorable habitats for offspring development are predicted to result in fewer, ...
A radiomics-based decision support tool improves lung cancer diagnosis in combination with the Herder score in large lung nodules.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Large lung nodules (≥15 mm) have the highest risk of malignancy, and may exhibit important differences in phenotypic or clinical characteristics to their smaller counterparts. Existing risk models do not stratify ...
Clinical characteristics and outcomes of IgD myeloma: experience across UK national trials.

Immunoglobulin D (IgD) myeloma is a subtype often considered to have adverse features and inferior survival, but there is a paucity of data from large clinical studies. We compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes ...
Genome-wide interaction analysis of menopausal hormone therapy use and breast cancer risk among 62,370 women.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-13)
Use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is associated with increased risk for breast cancer. However, the relevant mechanisms and its interaction with genetic variants are not fully understood. We conducted a genome-wide ...
