Outcomes in Breast Cancer Patients Who Refuse Recommended Therapy

October 6, 2017
By Skyler Johnson, MD
Video
Conference|American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting (ASTRO)

This video reviews outcomes among breast cancer patients in the United States who refused recommended therapy for their cancer.

In this video, Skyler Johnson, MD, of the Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, discusses an observational study that looked at outcomes among breast cancer patients in the United States who, at some point during their course of treatment, refused a therapy recommended by their oncologist.

Johnson presented results of the study (abstract 2048) at the 2017 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting, held September 24–27 in San Diego.

Spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immunohistochemistry from samples may elucidate outcomes for patients who undergo surgical care for cancer.
Future work may focus on optimizing symptom management associated with percutaneous transesophageal gastrostomy placement in malignant bowel obstructions.
Post-operative length of stay ranged from 4 to 9 days for patients who underwent percutaneous transesophageal gastrostomy for malignant bowel obstructions.
Future research will aim to assess the efficacy of PIPAC-MMC plus systemic therapy vs systemic therapy alone in patients with peritoneal tumors.
Although small incision surgery may serve as a conduit to deliver PIPAC-MMC, it may confer benefits in the staging and treatment of peritoneal tumors.
Patients with peritoneal metastases were historically associated with limited survival and low consideration for clinical trials.
Findings from the OVARIO study show that patients with HRR–deficient and BRCA-mutated disease benefitted the most from niraparib/bevacizumab maintenance.
Select comorbidities, ECOG status, and the receipt of radiation were among the differences between a real-world cohort and the RUBY trial population.
