Introduction: Textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) is attained when all desired short-term quality metrics are met following an oncologic operation. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of race on TOO attainment following colectomy for colon cancer.
Methods: The 2004-2017 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with non-metastatic colon cancer who underwent colectomy.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) and its impact on overall survival (OS) among patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) following modified radical mastectomy (MRM) versus MRM with contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (MRM + CPM).
Methods: The 2004-2017 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with IDC who underwent MRM and MRM + CPM. TOO was defined as: resection with negative margins, adequate lymphadenectomy, length of stay ≤50th percentile, and no 30-day readmission or mortality.
Introduction: Palliative interventions (PI) are offered to patients with pancreatic cancer with the aim of enhancing quality of life and improving overall survival (OS). The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of PI on survival amongst patients with unresected pancreatic cancer.
Methods: Patients with stage I-IV unresected pancreatic adenocarcinoma were identified using the 2010-2016 National Cancer Database.
Introduction: Textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) is a composite outcome measure attained when all desired short-term quality metrics are met following an oncologic operation. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of TOO and its impact on the overall survival (OS) among patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) following modified radical mastectomy (MRM).
Methods: The 2004-2017 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with non-metastatic IDC who underwent MRM.
