Introduction: Altered body composition is associated with adverse survival in multiple cancers. We determined the prevalence, prognostic significance and clinicopathological correlates of sarcopenia and adipopenia in Pleural Mesothelioma (PM) patients receiving chemotherapy.
Methods: We performed a multi-centre retrospective cohort study.
Objectives: To determine the incidence of lung cancer amongst primary care referrals for investigation with a chest radiograph (CXR).
Methods: Retrospective evaluation of datasets from the national Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and from a single large regional centre. Data were extracted for cohorts of consecutive adults aged over 40 years for whom a CXR had been performed between 2016 and 2018.
Introduction: Single-station N2 (ssN2) versus multi-station N2 has been used as a selection criterion for treatment recommendations between surgical versus non-surgical multimodality treatment in stage III-N2 NSCLC. We hypothesized that clinical staging would be susceptible to upstaging on pathologic staging and, therefore, challenge this practice.
Methods: A retrospective study of prospectively collected routine clinical data for patients with stage III-N2 NSCLC that had completed computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and staging endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and had been confirmed clinical stage III-ssN2 at multidisciplinary team discussion and went on to complete surgical resection as the first treatment to provide pathologic staging.
Article Synopsis
- The Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership has implemented a tobacco dependency treatment program for NHS workers that includes 6 months of behavioral support and 12 weeks of treatment through a digital app.
- During the evaluation period from January 2022 to September 2023, 1,567 workers participated, resulting in significant reductions in smoking, including over 89,000 smoke-free days and the avoidance of more than 1.25 million cigarettes.
- The program demonstrated a 12-week abstinence rate of 37% among a subset of 300 participants, highlighting its effectiveness in aiding NHS workers in overcoming tobacco dependency.
