Workplace absenteeism amongst patients undergoing open vs. robotic radical prostatectomy, hysterectomy, and partial colectomy

Daniel Pucheril, Sean A. Fletcher, Xi Chen, David F. Friedlander, Alexander P. Cole, Marieke J. Krimphove, Adam C. Fields, Nelya Melnitchouk, Adam S. Kibel, Prokar Dasgupta, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: This retrospective insurance-based analysis showed that robotic surgery was associated with fewer missed days from work compared to open surgery for major procedures such as radical prostatectomy, hysterectomy/myomectomy, and partial colectomy. This information can help stakeholders better understand the indirect benefits of robotic surgery in relation to its cost.

Racial Disparities in Treatment for Rectal Cancer at Minority-Serving Hospitals

Pamela W. Lu, Rebecca E. Scully, Adam C. Fields, Vanessa M. Welten, Stuart R. Lipsitz, Quoc-Dien Trinh, Adil Haider, Joel S. Weissman, Karen M. Freund, Nelya Melnitchouk

Summary: Racial disparities exist in patients with rectal cancer in terms of treatment and survival outcomes. Patients treated at minority-serving hospitals have lower odds of receiving standard of care treatment for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma, with Black patients experiencing higher mortality risk compared to White patients.

Access denied: The relationship between patient insurance status and access to high-volume hospitals

Junaid Nabi, Karl H. Tully, Alexander P. Cole, Maya Marchese, Eugene B. Cone, Nelya Melnitchouk, Adam S. Kibel, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: The study found that underinsured, Medicare-insured, and Medicaid-insured patients are less likely to receive surgical care at high-volume hospitals. For patients with colorectal cancer, the effect of insurance coverage differed by study period, and improved since 2011.

Lessons from Pharmacovigilance: Pulmonary Immune-Related Adverse Events After Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Stephen W. Reese, Eugene Cone, Maya Marchese, Brenda Garcia, Wesley Chou, Asha Ayub, Kerry Kilbridge, Gerald Weinhouse, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: The study identified associations between immune checkpoint inhibitors and pulmonary toxicities, including pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary embolism, and respiratory failure. The research also found other associations with immune checkpoint inhibitors, although not consistently across all agents. Many of these immune-related adverse drug reactions were severe and contributed to a significant source of mortality in reported cases.

Trends in mortality among Black and White men with prostate cancer in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania: Race and neighborhood socioeconomic position

Hari S. Iyer, Scarlett L. Gomez, Jarvis T. Chen, Quoc-Dien Trinh, Timothy R. Rebbeck

Summary: The study found that Black-White disparities in prostate cancer mortality decreased over the study period in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, while neighborhood socioeconomic status mortality disparities trends either stagnated or increased, calling for further attention and action.

Is Medicaid expansion associated with increases in palliative treatments for metastatic cancer?

Alexander P. Cole, Stuart R. Lipsitz, Adam S. Kibel, Brandon A. Mahal, Nelya Melnitchouk, Zara Cooper, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: From 2010 to 2016, the utilization of palliative treatments among metastatic cancer patients increased, with a significantly greater increase in states that expanded Medicaid coverage. The increase in insurance coverage and policies targeting palliative and end of life care may enhance access to palliative services.

Prostate Cancer Disparities in Risk Group at Presentation and Access to Treatment for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders: A Study With Disaggregated Ethnic Groups

Bhav Jain, Kenrick Ng, Patricia Mae G. Santos, Kekoa Taparra, Vinayak Muralidhar, Brandon A. Mahal, Neha Vapiwala, Quoc-Dien Trinh, Paul L. Nguyen, Edward Christopher Dee

Summary: The study identified differences in localized prostate cancer risk group at presentation and disparities in treatment patterns for different Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander subgroups. Further research is needed to assess and address barriers to prostate cancer care.

Digital technologies in cancer care: a review from the clinician's perspective

Logan G. Briggs, Muhieddine Labban, Khalid Alkhatib, David-Dan Nguyen, Alexander P. Cole, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: Digital health technology plays a crucial role in cancer care, promoting personalized medicine and enhancing the quality and accessibility of healthcare services. Physicians utilize various digital health technologies such as smartphone apps, wearable devices, and web-based communication platforms to improve cancer screening, patient education, symptom monitoring, and other aspects of cancer care.

Investigating the racial gap in prostate cancer screening with prostate-specific antigen among younger men from 2012 to 2020

Zhiyu Qian, Khalid Al Khatib, Xi Chen, Sanvi Belani, Muhieddine Labban, Stuart Lipsitz, Alexander P. Cole, Hari S. Iyer, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: PSA screening among younger black and white men has steadily decreased since 2012, but the decrease has been more rapid among black men compared to white men.

Summary: The use of expectant management for low-risk prostate cancer has significantly increased over the past decade, likely due to growing awareness of the harms of overtreatment.

Summary: The use of nonoperative management for small renal masses has increased over the past decade. Observational management is more frequently used among Black patients. Possible reasons include race-based differences in physicians' risk assessments and resource allocation.

Does the 5-item Frailty Index predict surgical complications of endoscopic surgical management for benign prostatic obstruction? An analysis of the ACS-NSQIP

Muhieddine Labban, Nicola Frego, Zhiyu Qian, David-Dan Nguyen, Chang-Rong Chen, Brittany D. Berk, Stuart R. Lipsitz, Naeem Bhojani, Martin Kathrins, Quoc-Dien Trinh

Summary: The 5-item Frailty Index (5i-FI) is a useful predictor of surgical complications in endoscopic surgery for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). After adjusting for selection bias, laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP) and photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) are associated with lower rates of complications compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, frail patients are less likely to undergo PVP and LEP. Preoperative frailty assessment can improve risk stratification in BPO surgery.

Trends in mortality among Black and White men with prostate cancer in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania: Race and neighborhood socioeconomic position

Hari S. Iyer, Scarlett L. Gomez, Jarvis T. Chen, Quoc-Dien Trinh, Timothy R. Rebbeck

Summary: The study revealed that while Black-White disparities in prostate cancer mortality decreased over time in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, disparities based on neighborhood socioeconomic status either remained stagnant or widened. There were no significant changes in prostate cancer-specific mortality, but cardiovascular mortality disparities increased. Overall, disparities were more pronounced in Pennsylvania compared to Massachusetts.

Impact of health literacy on shared decision making for prostate-specific antigen screening in the United States

David-Dan Nguyen, Quoc-Dien Trinh, Alexander P. Cole, Kerry L. Kilbridge, Brandon A. Mahal, Matt Hayn, Moritz Hansen, Paul K. J. Han, Jesse D. Sammon

Summary: This study examined the impact of patient health literacy (HL) on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening rates and shared decision making (SDM). Findings showed that men with higher HL had higher rates of PSA screening, but when SDM was present, those with higher HL were less likely to undergo PSA screening.
