Purpose: Evidence of a volume-outcome association in cancer surgery has shaped the centralization of cancer services; however, it is unknown whether a similar association exists for radiation therapy. The objective of this study was to determine the association between radiation therapy treatment volume and patient outcomes.
Methods And Materials: This systematic review and meta-analysis included studies that compared outcomes of patients who underwent definitive radiation therapy at high-volume radiation therapy facilities (HVRFs) versus low-volume facilities (LVRFs).
Article Synopsis
- The SIREN study began in June 2020, focusing on PCR testing and sequencing in UK healthcare workers to monitor SARS-CoV-2 infections and reinfections.
- It identified a rise in infections and reinfections, as well as the emergence of Omicron subvariant waves, aligning with national data.
- SIREN's approach serves as an effective method for ongoing variant surveillance.
