A convenient clinical nomogram for small intestine adenocarcinomanguyên anh doanh
The document describes a study that developed a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival for patients with small-intestine adenocarcinoma. Researchers analyzed data on 4,971 patients from the SEER database and identified 8 factors associated with survival: age, sex, marital status, insurance status, grade, stage, surgery status, and chemotherapy. These factors were used to create a nomogram that assigns a score to each variable to predict 3- and 5-year survival probabilities. Validation tests found the nomogram predicted survival more accurately than the AJCC staging system and closely matched actual survival rates.

This document discusses how the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project, which aimed to sequence tumors to identify genetic changes and develop treatments, is now at a crossroads due to the confounding factor of intratumoral heterogeneity. Sequencing more tumors with single biopsies cannot capture heterogeneity between tumor parts or over time. Obtaining multiple biopsies presents logistical challenges. Recent studies reveal significant genetic differences within individual tumors in space and time. This challenges the utility of TCGA's approach and whether its data can guide treatment. Better methods are needed to address tumor heterogeneity.

Survival rates for adolescents and young adults (ages 15-39) with cancer have lagged behind progress made in children and older adults over the past 20 years. While significant strides have been made recently, more work is still needed. Key challenges contributing to lower survival in this age group include differences in cancer biology, lack of clinical trial participation, health insurance barriers, and lack of psychosocial support systems tailored for their unique needs and life stages. The oncology community has started to address these issues through greater research focus on this population, improved guidelines, and programs dedicated to their care. However, broad changes are still required to improve outcomes for adolescents and young adults with cancer.

Aboriginal Patterns of Cancer Care Project Breast Cancer paper BMCCancer 1471...Cancer Council NSW
Aboriginal women in New South Wales, Australia have lower rates of survival from breast cancer than non-Aboriginal women. Aboriginal women were less likely to receive surgical treatment for their breast cancer and were more likely to have other health issues. After accounting for differences in factors like age, disease stage at diagnosis, surgical treatment, and health issues, Aboriginal women still had a 30% higher risk of death from breast cancer. Improving access to surgical treatment and reducing health issues may help increase breast cancer survival rates for Aboriginal women.
This document discusses the relationship between diet and cancer incidence based on various studies. It notes that early estimates suggested 35% of cancer deaths in the US could be prevented by dietary changes. Dietary factors like fat intake and consumption of fruits and vegetables have been examined in many epidemiological studies but results have been mixed, with some associations found but none described as conclusively proven. The complexity of diet makes definitively linking individual foods to cancer risk difficult.
Three key points:
1) The study identified a group of myeloma patients with an "ultra-high risk" of early relapse and poor survival outcomes based on having both high-risk genetic lesions and a high-risk gene expression profile.
2) In two large clinical trials, these ultra-high risk patients had a median progression-free survival of 13.4 months and median overall survival of 26.1 months, significantly worse than other patient groups.
3) Validation in an independent patient group confirmed ultra-high risk patients defined by both genetic and gene expression risk factors experienced particularly poor outcomes, with all progressing within 2 years and no survivors beyond 4 years.

1) The document discusses challenges with multi-disciplinary team meetings for prostate cancer including not having enough time to discuss each patient and missing key information.
2) It provides examples of cases to illustrate how MRI and targeted biopsies can provide more accurate risk stratification compared to standard biopsies alone. This includes finding higher grade cancers.
3) Treatment options for prostate cancer are varied and patient preferences should help guide decision making, as the long term outcomes of different approaches are unclear. Biomarkers may also provide additional information beyond pathology results.
Multidisciplinarity and the Prostate Cancer UnitEuropa Uomo EPAD
This document discusses the benefits and structure of a Prostate Cancer Unit (PCU). Key points include:
- A PCU is a multidisciplinary team approach that can improve outcomes for prostate cancer patients through coordinated care.
- The core team of a PCU includes urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, nurses, and data managers who work together.
- A successful PCU sees over 100 new prostate cancer cases per year, follows evidence-based guidelines, and facilitates access to rehabilitation and palliative care programs.
The document summarizes the key findings and implications of the Prostate Cancer Intervention Versus Observation Trial (PIVOT). The trial found that for men with low-risk prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy did not provide a benefit over observation in reducing mortality rates. This suggests that observation may be a reasonable option for some low-risk prostate cancer patients over age 60. However, the trial also implied that radical prostatectomy may provide survival benefits for those with higher-risk disease. The document discusses several limitations of the PIVOT trial and ongoing debates around the management and treatment of localized prostate cancer.
Characteristics of cases with unknown stage prostate cancerCancer Council NSW
Stage of cancer at diagnosis (e.g. localised, regional involvement, metastatic) is an important predictor of survival. This paper identifies there is cause for concern surrounding the 40% of "unknown" or unrecorded stage of diagnosis on prostate cancer patient records in NSW. This means crucial information is missing from their records. The second stage of this project, scheduled for completion in late 2014, is to identify the reasons for these missing data. Once this has been completed we can inform policy makers to ensure the data completeness can be improved. Studies using cancer staging data can then increase in quality and quantity.
Genetic Syndromes and Thyroid Cancer by Pamela Brock, MS, LGCOSUCCC - James
This document discusses genetic syndromes associated with non-medullary thyroid cancer. It begins by outlining the objectives of reviewing established genetic conditions, discussing new candidate genes, and exploring genetic testing options. It then provides details on several known genetic syndromes and their associated thyroid cancer risks, including Cowden syndrome, Familial adenomatous polyposis, Carney complex, and Werner syndrome. It also discusses emerging candidate genes like CHEK2, DICER1, and MUTYH and their potential links to thyroid cancer. The document concludes by noting the low yield of genetic testing in familial non-medullary thyroid cancer cases but provides strategies to identify higher risk families.
This document summarizes a discussion about research funding for colorectal cancer. It notes that last year the discussion was about the advocate and grant review process, while this year the topics are the current research landscape and the cost of research. Statistics provided show that CRC funding from the NCI has decreased from 6% of the total NCI budget in 2008 to 5% in 2012, with over $17 million less in funding and almost 200 fewer grants funded. A sample one year laboratory grant budget is also presented, with notes that typical budgets are 70-80% for personnel and animal work requires significant funds. The budget would likely be cut 20% administratively even if the grant scored in the top 10% for funding.

This multi-year study analyzed end-of-life discussions at a cancer center over four years. On average, 113 patients expired each year, with 60 expiring seven or more days after admission. Lung cancer was the most common cause of death. While palliative care consultations occurred for only 25.5% of patients on average, the study found no correlations between variables like timing of discussions, location, attendance, and palliative care involvement. Without interventions between years, the study could not measure performance improvement directly. Future research would require implementing interventions to gauge their impact over multiple years.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

12. “…to conduct this mini–cancer-genome project, a 29-person team, sequenced…11
breast cancer samples and 11 colon cancer samples…then winnowed out more than
99% of the mutations by removing errors…and changes that didn’t alter a protein.
…this yielded a total of 189 “candidate” cancer genes. Although some are familiar…most
had never been found mutated in cancer before. The results…are a ‘treasure trove’…
…the relatively small number of new genes common to the tumors reinforces concerns
about [NIH] The Cancer Genome Atlas…
…despite such doubts, the atlas project gets under way next week. NIH will announce
the three cancers to be studied in the pilot phase…the project is on an extremely
aggressive timeline…”

“…proteogenomics, which is -- as I used a metaphor
-- it’s like the genes are the full roster of a basketball
team….but the winning strategy comes from finding
out who their starting lineup is. The proteins are the
starters you're going to play against -- the five you
are going to have to defend against
I’m pleased to say, Mr. Prime Minister, that we've
signed three memorandums of understanding
between our two nations …we're going to be able to
share patient histories, proteogenomics and clinical
phenotypes data -- data on various proteins and
genetic characteristics of almost 60,000 patients in
Australia and the United States with full privacy
protections…
And I predict that you're going to see this repeated
around the world.”
