Importance: Patients of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York, are now offered a choice of either in-person or remote telehealth visits for radiation oncology care. However, safety and satisfaction among patients receiving treatment with fully remote physician management is unclear.
Objective: To analyze patient safety and satisfaction, financial implications, and environmental consequences associated with fully remote management among a cohort of patients treated with radiotherapy.
Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) uses current and best evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values to drive clinical decisions. Organizations struggle with building and sustaining an EBP-focused culture.
Objectives: This article shares the development and implementation of SEEK™ (Spirit of Inquiry, Expanding EBP Knowledge), an educational initiative on how to apply EBP processes at a Magnet®- and National Cancer Institute- designated comprehensive cancer center.
Objectives: To provide an overview of the surgical management of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its impact on survival and quality of life.
Data Sources: Published articles, book chapters, websites, and research studies.
Conclusion: The primary treatment choice for early stage NSCLC is surgical resection.
