In older patients with cancer, it is very important to choose the appropriate treatment because they are at high risk for chemotherapy toxicity. Our study investigated characteristics of Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG), Geriatric 8 (G8), and Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13) screening tools for predicting chemotherapy-related toxicity (CRT) prospectively.

Mashup Score: 0Lack of Concordance in Symptomatic Adverse Event Reporting by Children, Clinicians, and Caregivers: Implications for Cancer Clinical Trials - 2 year(s) ago
PURPOSE To examine concordance in symptomatic adverse event (AE) grading using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE 4.0) for clinicians and its patient-reported outcome (PRO) versions for children (Ped-PRO-CTCAE) and caregivers (Ped-PRO-CTCAE [Caregiver]). METHODS Children age 7-18 years with a first cancer diagnosis, their clinicians, and caregivers completed CTCAE-based…

Timing chemotherapy on the basis of the body’s intrinsic circadian clock—ie, chronomodulated chemotherapy—might improve efficacy and reduce treatment toxicity. This systematic review summarises the available clinical evidence on the effects of chronomodulated chemotherapy from randomised, controlled trials in adult patients with cancer, published between the date of database inception and June 1,…

Patients were followed for a median of two-years. Those treated with SBRT showed no difference in hazard of any cardiovascular outcomes by tumor laterality including the cardiovascular composite (hazard ratio comparing left versus right-sided tumors [HR]=0.98, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.84-1.15) …

Mashup Score: 3Dangers of hyperoxia - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Oxygen (O2) toxicity remains a concern, particularly to the lung. This is mainly related to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Supplemental O2, i.e. inspiratory O2 concentrations (FIO2) > 0.21 may cause hyperoxaemia (i.e. arterial (a) PO2 > 100 mmHg) and, subsequently, hyperoxia (increased tissue O2 concentration), thereby enhancing ROS formation. Here, we review the…

Objectives This study aims at exploring and quantifying multiple types of adverse events (AEs) experienced by patients during cancer treatment. A novel longitudinal score to evaluate the Multiple Overall Toxicity (MOTox) burden is proposed. The MOTox approach investigates the personalised evolution of high overall toxicity (high-MOTox) during the treatment. Design Retrospective analysis of the…
