Objective: Low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSC) represents 5% of all epithelial ovarian cancers. They are characterized by indolent growth and KRAS and BRAF mutations, differing from high-grade serous ovarian cancer both clinically and molecularly. LGSC has low response rates to traditional systemic therapies, including chemotherapy and hormonal...
Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are a new, publicly available tool for patients to access health care–related information with unknown reliability related to cancer-related questions. This study assesses the quality of responses to common questions for patients with cancer. Methods: From February to March 2023, we...
Introduction: Insurance denials for clinical trials serve as a pertinent barrier for patients to remain trial-eligible, thus hindering the development of therapies and the overall advancement of health care. We present results from an ongoing oncology randomized clinical trial regarding insurance denials and peer-to-peer authorization (P2PA)...
Objectives: Most patients receiving curative-intent surgery for pancreatic cancer will experience cancer recurrence. However, evidence that postoperative surveillance testing improves survival or quality of life is lacking. We evaluated the use and characteristics of surveillance with serial imaging and CA 19-9 tumor marker testing at an NCI-designated...
Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic refocused the cancer community on bringing clinical trials closer to patients and increasing access for traditionally underserved communities. Pandemic-era deregulation increased flexibility with telemedicine visits, less frequent testing, and the ability to have tests done locally. This study...
Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors are standard therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutation; however, resistance is common. Combinatorial strategies have been explored to improve survival. This meta-analysis assesses the efficacy and safety of combination therapy versus...
