Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of limited English proficiency (LEP) on breast cancer screening rates among women in the U.S.
- LEP women (5.7% of the sample) showed significantly lower rates of screening mammograms (78% vs. 90%) and faced greater barriers to healthcare access.
- Spanish-speaking women, in particular, were identified as a vulnerable subgroup with even lower probabilities of receiving screenings compared to those who speak other languages.
Introduction: The effects of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy on lymph node retrieval during esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer are unclear. The aim of this study was to quantify lymph node retrieval after R0 esophagectomy and to assess its impact on overall survival in induction therapy patients.
Methods: One hundred seventy-four consecutive patients underwent esophagectomy with or without induction therapy from 2008 to 2015 for esophageal cancer.
