..Prostate-specific antigen screening has led to an increase in the diagnosis and treatment of localized prostate cancer. However, the role of active treatment of low- and intermediate-risk disease in elderly men is controversial...

..The prostate cancer screening encounter may represent a "teachable moment" to increase CRC screening rates...

..Primary androgen deprivation therapy (PADT) is frequently used as a sole modality of treatment in men with localized prostate cancer, despite a lack of clinical trial data supporting its use...

..The objective of the current study was to measure the cost implications of treatment with sequential regimens that include chemotherapy and/or monoclonal antibodies...

..To determine the impact of adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for patients who have node-positive prostate cancer in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era...

..Controlled clinical trials that establish a benefit from continued trastuzumab have been difficult to complete...

..We analyzed data from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) database to evaluate the relative survival of patients treated surgically for localized renal cell carcinoma as related to tumor size and patient age...

..We determined whether a relationship exists between primary tumor size and histopathological features in cases of localized renal cancer...

..One of the first commercially available GEP tests, a 21-gene profile, was developed to estimate the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (HR-positive BC)...

..Guidelines for breast cancer staging exist, but adherence remains unknown. This study evaluates patterns of imaging in early stage breast cancer usually reserved for advanced disease...

..These factors must be considered against the benefits of treatment. We constructed a model of competing causes of death to help contextualize treatment trade-off analyses in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma...

..To evaluate the proportion of patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (UC) who would be eligible to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy before and after radical cystectomy based on renal function...

....

..The influence of cost on the treatment choices of patients with life-threatening illness, such as cancer, is unknown...

..No distributional assumptions are needed other than the binomial, so the design provides rigorous power analysis for this type of study. Tables of optimal designs are supplied for a broad range of requirements...

..We assessed whether incidental screening due to imaging performed for other purposes has resulted in earlier detection or better outcomes in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma...

..We present a case of a 5-cm adrenal lesion with computed tomography washout characteristics consistent with a benign adenoma, which proved upon resection to be an adrenocortical carcinoma...

....

..We conducted a randomized, noncomparative phase II study to measure the efficacy of cetuximab with or without paclitaxel in patients with previously treated urothelial cancer...

....

..Here we evaluate factors that may help predict radiographic growth during observation...

..As the results of the integration process, the semantic query language SPARQL is applied to perform the integrated queries across the two database systems based on PCO...

..We found that surgery was protective, but that the magnitude of the effect depended on assumptions about the relationship of grade with missingness...
