Real-world treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization and costs among patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

To evaluate treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs among peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients in the USA. A retrospective cohort study, using the IQVIA PharMetrics Plus claims database from 1 April 2011 to 30 November 2021, identified PTCL patients receiving systemic treatments. Three mutually exclusive subcohorts were created based on line of therapy (LOT): 1LOT, 2LOT and ≥3LOT.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube occlusion in malignant peritoneal carcinomatosis-induced bowel obstruction.

Objective: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement for decompression in advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis with bowel obstruction is a safe and feasible palliative procedure. We describe a rare, previously unreported phenomenon of PEG tube occlusion by gastric mucosal herniation.

Methods: A consecutive case series of 73 patients with advanced abdominal carcinomatosis-induced bowel obstruction from January 2007 to June 2010.
