Purpose: Patient-reported outcomes are recognized as strong predictors of cancer prognosis. This study examines racial and ethnic differences in self-reported general health status (GHS) and mental health status (MHS) among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of Medicare beneficiaries between 1998 and 2011 with non-distant CRC who underwent curative resection and completed a Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey within 6-36 months of CRC diagnosis.
Aim: The American College of Surgeons Committee on Cancer developed the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) to reduce variations in rectal cancer care, standardize clinical practice and encourage multidisciplinary approaches. The aim of this study was to analyse if accreditation achieved a higher quality of care at one hospital.
Method: The University of California Davis Medical Center was accredited in 2019.
Objectives: Determine patient and provider perspectives on widespread rapid telemedicine implementation, understand the key components of a surgical telemedicine visit and identify factors that affect future telemedicine use.
Summary Of Background Data: Compared to other specialties, the field of surgery heretofore has had limited adoption of telemedicine. During the COVID-19 pandemic Healthcare, including the surgical specialties, saw new widespread use of telemedicine.
Article Synopsis
- * The presence of immune cells in CRC tumors and their liver metastases can help predict how the disease will progress and how long patients may survive.
- * Effective studies on immunotherapies for CRC require preclinical models that accurately mimic the cancer's tumor microenvironment, including various types of cells and structures, with a review of current research models highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
