Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is a significant risk factor for endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and uterine cancer, yet the use of weight-loss therapy in these patients is not well understood.
  • An analysis of data from over 15,000 patients shows that only a small percentage utilized weight-loss therapy within a year of diagnosis, although usage has increased from 2009 to 2020.
  • Factors such as younger age and higher comorbidity scores were linked to a greater likelihood of receiving weight-loss therapy, indicating a need for improved accessibility and awareness in treating obese patients with EIN or uterine cancer.

Background: Understanding the relative contributions of SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced and vaccine-induced seroprevalence is key to measuring overall population-level seroprevalence and help guide policy decisions.

Methods: Using a series of six population-based cross-sectional surveys conducted among persons aged ≥7 years in a large health system with over 4.5 million members between May 2021 and April 2022, we combined data from the electronic health record (EHR), an electronic survey and SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody binding assay, to assess the relative contributions of infection and vaccination to population-level SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence.

Background: Germline cancer genetic testing has become a standard evidence-based practice, with established risk reduction and screening guidelines for genetic carriers.

This poses a problem for childhood cancer survivors, as this is a population with an increased risk for subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMN) due to cancer therapy or inherited cancer predisposition.
