Mashup Score: 3Medicaid Privatization: Has the Invisible Hand Led Us Astray? - 2 month(s) ago
Medicaid Privatization: Has the Invisible Hand Led Us Astray? presents timely questions regarding our nation’s healthcare safety-net: (1) What are the consequences when states outsource the administration of Medicaid to private organizations with a profit motive?; (2) Can returning administrative responsibility back to state governments restore any losses to quality and equity experienced by previously privatized public programs?; and (3) Is it time to abandon Medicaid managed care altogether for state-operated fee-for-service or other alternative administrative arrangements?

Mashup Score: 5Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation, Weight Gain, and Poor Appetite in Patients With Cancer: Many Questions and Fewer Answers - 3 month(s) ago
Patients with cancer or with a history of cancer often seek nutritional advice. In turn, cancer health care providers are often asked questions related to nutrition and cancer. Should I take high-dose vitamins or other high-dose supplements? Should I take a regular-dose vitamin or other regular-dose nutritional supplements? Will I experience weight loss during postoperative chemotherapy? What should be my weight goals during and after adjuvant therapy? In the setting of advanced cancer, what should I do to keep my appetite and weight up? This review attempts to provide data-driven answers to some of these commonly posed questions.

Mashup Score: 0Case-Based Clinical Guidance on Dosing and Management of the Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy Pump - 6 month(s) ago
Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) delivers localized high-dose floxuridine directly to liver tumors through an implanted pump. While patients are undergoing active treatment, the pump is refilled with chemotherapy alternating with saline every 2 weeks using a specialized noncoring needle. Numerous clinical scenarios influence the dosing of floxuridine, which do not conform to the usual dose modification schema for systemic chemotherapy. This article aims to provide practical clinical management solutions to overcome the common challenges faced by oncologists in the real-world management of HAI pump therapy.

Mashup Score: 0Systemic Therapy for Tumor Control in Well-Differentiated Metastatic Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: ASCO Guideline Q and A - 7 month(s) ago
ASCO recently published new guidance on systemic therapy for tumor control in well-differentiated metastatic gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. A companion Q and A article in the JCO-OP addresses some of the questions that clinicians may face as they implement these recommendations into clinical practice, including the role of somatostatin receptors and observation, definition of terms used within the guideline, considerations related to therapy options for G3 NETs, and future direction in research and treatment. ASCO also plans to address recommendations on the topic of symptom control of GEP-NETs in a forthcoming guideline

Mashup Score: 1
Over the past decade, tremendous efforts have been made in the development of targeted agents in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with nonsquamous histology. Pivotal studies have used next-generation sequencing to select the patient population harboring oncogenic driver alterations that are targetable with targeted therapies. As treatment paradigm rapidly evolves for patients with rare oncogene-driven NSCLC, updated comprehensive overview of diagnostic approach and treatment options is paramount in clinical settings. In this review article, we discuss the epidemiology, molecular testing, and landmark clinical trials addressing the targeted agents for ROS1 rearrangement, METex14 skipping mutation, EGFR exon 20 insertion, KRAS G12C mutation, HER2 mutation, RET fusion, NTRK fusion, and BRAF mutations.
