Introduction: Men with advanced germ cell tumors (GCT) treated with chemotherapy are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Predictors of VTE may identify patients who would benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation.
Patients And Methods: Men with advanced GCT (Stage IS, II, III) treated with chemotherapy were identified at 2 centers.
Background/aim: Survivorship care programs (SCPs) educate patients on post-treatment side-effects, which may lead to earlier identification and mitigation of their impact. This study assessed the impact of SCP on identification and management of post-treatment hypothyroidism in a head and neck cancer population and evaluated socio-demographic factors in the effectiveness of SCPs.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with head and neck cancer treated with radiation therapy between January 2011 and January 2019 at a large community cancer institution.
Background: The residual cancer burden class informs survival outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We evaluated the prognostic ability of the RCB for survival outcomes in women with different phenotypic subtypes of breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Additional variables were assessed for inclusion with the RCB to further improve the model's discriminative ability.

This study investigated the association between RCB and locoregional recurrence (LRR).
Methods: The study reviewed 532 women with breast cancer who underwent NAC between 2010 and 2016.
