Doubly robust estimation of marginal cumulative incidence curves for competing risk analysis [PDF]

arXiv
Covariate imbalance between treatment groups makes it difficult to compare cumulative incidence curves in competing risk analyses. In this paper we discuss different methods to estimate adjusted cumulative incidence curves including inverse probability of treatment weighting and outcome regression modeling.

A systematic review comparing the functional changes and complications of DIEP and TRAM flaps in patients receiving breast reconstruction [PDF]

, 2015
Aim: Treatment for breast cancer may involve unilateral or bilateral mastectomy, with subsequent breast reconstruction surgery. Using autologous tissue flaps during reconstructive surgery is increasingly popular.

Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy (CPM) Consensus Statement from the American Society of Breast Surgeons: Data on CPM Outcomes and Risks

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2016
The American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) endorses the American Board of Internal Medicine’s Choosing Wisely campaign statement: “Don’t routinely perform a double mastectomy in patients who have a single breast with cancer.”1 However, women with a ...

Impact of range uncertainties for intensity‐modulated mixed electron‐photon radiation therapy

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In the context of mixed electron‐photon radiation therapy (MBRT), while the necessity of robust optimization to setup uncertainties is well‐established, range uncertainties have yet to be investigated. Purpose This study provides the first assessment of the impact of range uncertainties on MBRT plans.

Why do women with early breast cancer in Northern Sri Lanka undergo mastectomy? Decision-making and ways forward

BMC Women's Health
Background Despite robust evidence confirming equivalent survival rates and better cosmetic outcomes with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and radiotherapy compared to mastectomy, the rates of mastectomy among women with early breast cancer have not ...

Breast Cancer: Habitat imaging based on intravoxel incoherent motion for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Radiomics research based on whole tumors is limited by the unclear biological significance of radiomics features, which therefore lack clinical interpretability. Purpose We aimed to determine whether features extracted from subregions defined by habitat imaging, reflecting tumor heterogeneity, could identify breast cancer patients ...

Changes in mastectomy rates at a Brazilian public hospital over 20 years (1989 to 2008)

São Paulo Medical Journal
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Recently, breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has been replacing mastectomy for breast cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in mastectomy and BCS rates and the factors relating to these shifts. DESIGN AND

Influence of Postoperative Finasteride Therapy on Recurrence of Gynecomastia After Mastectomy in Men Taking Finasteride for Alopecia

American Journal of Men's Health, 2019
Finasteride is commonly used for treatment of alopecia. Because finasteride is a cause of gynecomastia, there is concern regarding the continuation of finasteride therapy after mastectomy.

DIFR3CT: Latent Diffusion for Probabilistic 3D CT Reconstruction from Few Planar X-Rays [PDF]

arXiv
Computed Tomography (CT) scans are the standard-of-care for the visualization and diagnosis of many clinical ailments, and are needed for the treatment planning of external beam radiotherapy. Unfortunately, the availability of CT scanners in low- and mid-resource settings is highly variable.
