Therapy with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) is associated with well-documented benefits to anemic cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, most importantly a reduction in the likelihood of needing red cell transfusions. One challenge in supportive cancer care is a relative resistance to ESAs, ...

44-48 Population health management approaches have the potential to address these disparities by broadly identifying eligible patients and offering genetic services. However, such strategies may also exacerbate existing disparities in cancer genetic services if the required FHI needed as inputs into the ...
The goal of this work was to report the short-term and 12-month outcomes specifically for the cohort of colon cancer patients that underwent surgery using the mRASD. Method From the IDE study that included both benign and malignant diseases, long-term follow-up was only conducted for patients...
She read all the scientific literature she could find and treated more patients, but she still didn’t know where to start. Then one day at the hospital, entirely by accident, she stumbled on something. A tainted blood transfusion had infected a relapsed neuroblastoma patient with Chagas ...
Ambreen et al found electrolyte imbalance in 5.8% of patients, needing aggressive fluid and electrolyte which is at par with findings in present study of electrolyte imbalance of 5.1% [18]. Before stomal closure each patient had cologram to check distal patency. The time from formation to ...
Hence, patients and their attenders choose shifting patients Triage of cancer patients needing supportive care Triage policy: Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy of head and neck cancer to 70 Gy at 2 Gy per fraction is expected to produce more frequent and severe AEs than that of pelvic for carcinoma ...
