Background: There are limited data regarding the association between cancer and ischemic stroke, particularly among individuals with previous stroke. Our objective was to measure and compare the risk of ischemic stroke in individuals with and without cancer.
Methods: Population-based matched cohort study in Ontario, Canada.
Levothyroxine to suppress thyrotropin (TSH) to <0.5 mIU/L following thyroidectomy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may reduce recurrence in higher-risk DTC. However, there is limited evidence to support guideline recommendations to maintain TSH in the low-normal range of 0.

Article Synopsis
- A survival prognostication model was developed for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients using clinical data, patient-reported symptoms, and treatment specifics to aid in their treatment decisions.
- The study analyzed data from 17,450 PDAC patients in Ontario over a 13-year period, finding significant predictors of survival, including tumor location, disease stage, hospitalizations, heart failure, and various pain and performance scores.
- The model demonstrated good predictive accuracy with a C index of 0.76, suggesting it could enhance shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers regarding treatment options.
