This would seem likely to be more than the cost of managing the side effects of tamoxifen. We know from the chemotherapy published work that breast cancer patients will accept side effects for even very small advantages in survival, but it is less clear whether they accept this for delayed ...
—Endometrial polyps are a common cause of postmenopausal bleeding and are most frequently seen in patients receiving tamoxifen. Although endometrial polyps may be visualized at transvaginal US as nonspecific endometrial thickening, they are frequently identified as focal masses within the endometrial...
Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning, teaching and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open license, that permit no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others....
Overall survival (OS) is the length of time from either the date of diagnosis of the cancer or the start of treatment that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive. Overall survival rate is the percentage of people who are still alive at a certain time point after either the dat...
Few studies were found that examine the cost effectiveness of radiotherapy for breast, cervical, colorectal, head and neck and prostate cancer, and only two analyses were conducted in the UK. Additional, high-quality evidence is required to inform decision making on the effectiveness and cost-effec...
aER testing by IHC is preferred for establishing hormone receptor status and is cost effective when tamoxifen is available. When tamoxifen is available at the basic level, IH testing of ER status should also be provided. 当tamoxifen是可利用的时,测试由IHC的ER为建立激素感受器官状态更喜欢和花费有效...
Letrozole (Femara®) is a nonsteroidal, third-generation aromatase inhibitor administered orally once daily, which has shown efficacy in the treatment of postmenopausal women with early-stage or advanced, hormone-sensitive breast cancer.[1] Letrozole binds competitively to the heme of cytochrome P450...
The cost of this practice, in our opinion, outweighs the benefits. In a survey completed by LQTS experts, the majority would always check an ECG before and after starting an antiarrhythmic medication, one third to half would always check an ECG before and after starting an antipsychotic drug,...
The study found that cost-cutting policy changes, such as providing generic alternatives or requiring insurance companies to cover pills at the same level as infusions, consistently worked. Such "oral parity laws" have been passed in 43 states in recent years. ...
Doxorubicin is considered one of the strongest chemotherapy drugs for breast cancer ever invented. It can kill cancer cells at every point in their life cycle, and it's used to treat a wide variety of cancers, not just breast cancer. Doxorubicin is also known as “The Red Devil” because ...
