TL;DR

Investigation of the impact of TTRT on overall survival (OS) and anal cancer‐specific survival (ACSS) in a nationwide population‐based cohort from the Swedish Anal Cancer Registry finds no change in survival.

Abstract

A prolonged time from diagnosis to start of radiotherapy (TTRT) for malignant disease may negatively influence survival, but studies in squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) are largely lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of TTRT on overall survival (OS) and anal cancer‐specific survival (ACSS) in a nationwide population‐based cohort from the Swedish Anal Cancer Registry.

Risk Prediction Models for Recurrence After Curative Treatment of Early‐Stage or Locally Advanced Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, postoperative recurrence rates in early‐stage and locally advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain substantial. Prognostic models may support risk stratification and guide posttreatment management.

Metastasis-free Survival in High-risk Prostate Cancer: A Valid Surrogate, but Is it Transportable Across Strategies of Unequal Systemic Exposure?

Metastasis-free survival (MFS) may not have the same meaning after radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiotherapy (RT), largely because RT is typically combined with prolonged androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), which can delay the clinical emergence of metastases. Therefore, MFS benefits cannot be assumed to have the sam...
