Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of delegating brachytherapy device removal to radiation therapists (RTTs) in the treatment of breast cancer, in terms of safety and efficacy of treatment.
Material And Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted to analyze breast cancer brachytherapy patients. Standardized protocols were drawn up and the RTTs were gradually trained to remove brachytherapy devices under medical supervision.
Purpose: To compare the performance (covariate balance, effective sample size [ESS]) of stable balancing weights (SBW) versus propensity score weighting (PSW). Two applied cases were used to compare performance: (Case 1) extreme imbalance in baseline covariates between groups and (Case 2) substantial discrepancy in sample size between groups.
Methods: Using the Premier Healthcare Database, we selected patients who (Case 1) underwent a surgical procedure with one of two different bipolar forceps between January 2000 and June 2020, or (Case 2) a neurological procedure using one of two different nonabsorbable surgical sutures between January 2000 and March 2020.
Molecular subtyping is essential to infer tumor aggressiveness and predict prognosis. In practice, tumor profiling requires in-depth knowledge of bioinformatics tools involved in the processing and analysis of the generated data. Additionally, data incompatibility (e.
