Existing models of cancer survivorship care focus largely on pediatric or adult populations whose needs differ from adolescents and young adults (AYAs). We developed a patient-centered conceptual model of AYA survivorship care.

Objective: To project long-term population-based outcomes for breast cancer mammography screening strategies (DBT or digital mammography) with or without supplemental MRI by breast density.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Collaborative modeling using 3 Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) breast cancer simulation models informed by US Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium data.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between binding antibody (bAb) levels measured within 5 days of COVID-19 symptoms and the likelihood of testing positive for the virus in symptomatic patients across 7 states.
- Out of 2018 patients, 662 tested positive for COVID-19, showing lower antibody levels compared to those who tested negative, particularly during the Delta and Omicron variants.
- Higher concentrations of antibodies were linked to significantly lower odds of contracting COVID-19, indicating the importance of antibody levels in providing protection during acute illness.
