The results of the current study indicate that considering an intermittent course of ADT such that the TTR approaches 18 months, instead of continuous long-term administration of ADT, in men with moderate to severe comorbidity and high-risk PC may reduce the increased risk of CVM without increasing the risk of PCSM.

Patients at SNHs are less likely to undergo HCC treatment, even when diagnosed at an early stage, which likely contributes to worse survival. System-level differences in care delivery may partly explain racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in HCC prognosis. Cancer 2018;124:743-51. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Despite generally favorable outcomes, 2-year survivors of auto-HCT for cHL or DLBCL have an excess late-mortality risk in comparison with the general population and experience an assortment of late complications. Cancer 2018;124:816-25. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Long-term survival was found to be higher among the patients given MP in addition to cyclosporine and methotrexate. There was marked late nonrecurrence mortality observed in the group not given MP. No adverse late effects caused by the addition of corticosteroid were observed. Cancer 2018;124:727-33. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Uninsured patients or patients insured by government programs predominantly underwent care for HNC at hospital types most often associated with inferior survival outcomes. This finding could explain some proportion of insurance-related disparities in HNC outcomes. Further studies are warranted to determine whether interventions to promote equitable...

Suboptimal reliability and accuracy limit the integration of existing individualized prediction tools into routine clinical decision making. The calculators predicted significantly worse than observed survival among patients who received induction chemotherapy and primary surgery, suggesting a need for updated consideration of modern treatment moda...

The data from the current study suggest that circulating miRNAs can distinguish patients with CRC and those with adenoma and may represent novel biomarkers for the early, noninvasive detection of CRC. Cancer 2018;124:785-96. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Racial disparities in the outcomes of patients with CaP were observed in privately insured cohorts, whereas these disparities appeared to be reduced among patients with Medicaid insurance. However, outcomes need to be improved overall. Whether the equality in outcomes for Medicaid is due to white and African American patients doing "equally poorly"...
