Making accurate and interpretable treatment decisions for binary outcomes [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Optimal treatment rules can improve health outcomes on average by assigning a treatment associated with the most desirable outcome to each individual. Due to an unknown data generation mechanism, it is appealing to use flexible models to estimate these rules. However, such models often lead to complex and uninterpretable rules.

Association Between Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Overall Survival in Patients With Rectal Cancer and Pathological Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Resection

JAMA Oncology, 2018
Importance Although American guidelines recommend use of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, individuals who achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy are less likely to ...

Neo-adjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy of gastric cancer

Annals of Oncology, 2007
Gastric cancer is still a major health problem and a leading cause of cancer mortality despite a worldwide decline in incidence. Surgery is the primary curative treatment of locoregional gastric cancer. In Western countries, however, at the time of resection, most patients are expected to have regional lymph node involvement with poor prognostic ...

Circulating tumor cells in metastatic breast cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors – a biomarker analysis of the ALICE and ICON trials

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative biomarker analysis, we assessed serial sampling of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with CellSearch in two randomized trials testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic breast cancer. Our data demonstrate a prognostic potential of CTCs, most apparent 4 weeks into ICI therapy.

A phase II study of neoadjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (XELOXIRI) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 81-90, January 2023., 2023
XELOXIRI neoadjuvant chemotherapy appears to be feasible and efficacious for patients with LARC. Although neoadjuvant XELOXIRI alone did not yield our expected pCR rate, the local recurrence rate, 3‐year DFS and measures of safety met current standards.

Impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on patients with ypT0–2 ypN0 rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation: a cohort study from a tertiary referral hospital

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2018
Background To investigate the importance of adjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (≥ cT3 or N+) staged ypT0–2 ypN0 on final histological work-up after neoadjuvant chemoradiation and radical resection.

Preoperative SCC-Ag as a predictive marker for the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in cervical squamous cell carcinoma with intermediate-risk factors

BMC Cancer, 2020
Background For cervical cancer patients whose tumors display a combination of intermediate risk factors, postoperative radiation with or without adjuvant chemotherapy is suggested for them.

Adjuvant chemotherapy of bladder cancer

Annals of Oncology, 2006
Bladder cancer is one of the most common genitourinary cancer. 1/3 of patients presents with invasive disease. Radical cystectomy is the standard treatment for patients with muscle invasive disease: although local treatment can be curative, about 50% of patients will develop distant metastases.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Frailty and surgical outcomes in gastrointestinal cancer: Integration of geriatric assessment and prehabilitation into surgical practice for vulnerable patients

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 27-41, January 2023., 2023
Accumulating evidence demonstrates that the integration of preoperative geriatric assessment and prehabilitation for frail patients into clinical practice may improve perioperative and long‐term outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. We proposed an example for the integration of older patients‐specific care into treatment strategies for ...
