    Smoking demonstrates ‘profound’ association with sarcoma progression, distant metastases (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Smoking may significantly increase risk for progression and metastases for patients with sarcoma. The findings, presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting, showed active smokers had worse outcomes at both 2 years and 5 years, including nearly a twofold greater risk for distant metastases. “The difference is profound,” Meena Bedi, MD, MS, division chair of radiation oncology for Cleveland Clinic Florida, told Healio. Researchers estimate more than 18,000 individua

    SBRT improves multiple quality of life outcomes vs. surgery in localized prostate cancer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Stereotactic body radiation therapy significantly improved quality of life outcomes, including urinary incontinence and sexual function, for men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer compared with prostatectomy. Data from the phase 3 randomized PACE-A trial, presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting, showed use of urinary pads to be 40% lower in patients who received five-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with no differences in biochemica

    Multi-fraction radiation significantly improves local control for large brain metastases (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Stereotactic radiation delivered over three to five sessions after surgery significantly improved local control for patients with large, resected brain metastases compared with single fraction treatment. Results from the first randomized phase 3 trial comparing differing radiation schedules, presented at American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting, also showed an association with a 9-month survival benefit for patients who received treatment over multiple visits. “This was a positiv

    ‘Eye-opening’: AI could be low-cost solution to clinical trial consent form translation (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It can cost more than $10,000 to translate an informed consent form for a clinical trial into another language, according to the author of a study published in JCO Oncology Practice. Many investigator-initiated trials do not have the budget for that, Carmen E. Guerra, MD, MSCE, FACP, Ruth C. and Raymond G. Perelman Professor of Medicine at Penn Medicine, told Healio. This then prohibits enrollment of patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) — or approximately 8% of the U.S. population.

    Not ‘irrelevant’: Thymus health may have significant impact on mortality, cancer outcomes (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When Hugo Aerts, PhD, started asking colleagues whether the thymus could play a role in determining which patients with cancer would respond to immunotherapy about 4 years ago, the responses were overwhelmingly dismissive. “It’s irrelevant,” they told him. “[The thymus is] important in kids. Afterwards, it doesn’t matter.” “Are you sure?” Aerts, director of the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Program at Mass General Brigham, asked. “We have the data. Let’s investigate thi
