In epidemiologic studies, cancer stage is an important predictor of outcomes. However, cancer stage is typically unavailable in medical insurance claims datasets, thus limiting the usefulness of such data for epidemiologic studies. Therefore, we sought to develop an algorithm to predict cancer stage based on covariates available from claims-based data.
Methods

We identified a cohort of 77,306 women age ≥ 66 years with stage I-IV breast cancer, using the Surveillence Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database. We formulated an algorithm to predict cancer stage using covariates (demographic, tumor, and treatment characteristics) obtained from claims. Logistic regression models derived prediction equations in a training set, and equations' test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value [NPV]) were calculated in a validation set.
Results

Of the entire sample of women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, 51% had stage I; 26% stage II; 11% stage III; and 4% stage IV disease. The equation predicting stage IV disease achieved sensitivity of 81%, specificity 89%, positive predictive value (PPV) 24%, and negative predictive value (NPV) 99%, while the equation distinguishing stage I/II from stage III disease achieved sensitivity 83%, specificity 78%, PPV 98%, and NPV 31%. Combined, the equations most accurately identified early stage disease and ascertained a sample in which 98% of patients were stage I or II.
Conclusions

A claims-based algorithm was utilized to predict breast cancer stage, and was particularly successful when used to identify early stage disease. These prediction equations may be applied in future studies of breast cancer patients, substantially improving the utility of claims-based studies in this group. This method may similarly be employed to develop algorithms permitting claims-based epidemiologic studies of patients with other cancers.

Small Cell Cancer Biography

Source(google.com.pk)

The terms "small cell" and "large cell" are merely descriptive terms for the appearance of the cancer cells under the microscope. In addition to determining the appearance of the cells, your doctor will also perform tests to determine the size of the cancerous area, how abnormal the cells are, and whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other sites. While each of these factors is important, classifying a cancer based on its microscopic appearance helps your doctor determine:

    The likely course or outcome (prognosis) of the cancer
    The most effective treatment for a specific cancer

Common terms used to describe the appearance of cancer cells include:

    Clear cell. The inside of the cell appears clear. Examples include some kidney, ovarian and uterine cancers.
    Spindle cell. The cell is narrower at both ends than at the center. Examples include some breast, gastrointestinal, muscle or other soft tissue, and skin cancers.
    Large cell. The cell is larger than are normal cells. An example is lung cancer affecting the bronchioles.
    Small cell. The cell is smaller than are normal cells. An example is small cell lung cancer, an aggressive cancer that usually spreads to other parts of your body (metastasizes).
    Squamous cell. The cell is flat in appearance. Examples include skin cancer or any other type of cancer that starts in the lining of some organs, such as a bronchus of a lung.
    Adenocarcinoma. The cell is gland-like in appearance. Examples include some lung, gastric and endometrial cancers.

Other factors that help classify a cancer include:

    Area of the body in which the cancer originated, such as the liver or breast. Cancers from certain organs may have a similar appearance. For example, the most common type of kidney cancer is classified as clear cell. On the other hand, breast cancer rarely has a clear cell appearance. So clear cells on a breast biopsy may indicate that the cancer didn't originate in the breast but spread there (metastasized) from another area of the body, such as a kidney.
    Type of tissue from which the cancer evolved, including carcinomas and sarcomas. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.

Cure For Cancer

 Cure For Cancer Biography

Although oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, has written a magnum opus on cancer, he doesn’t think his über-expert status will change how he interacts with patients. The 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner for nonfiction 

says, “I try to be very humble about the possibilities and achievements of what can be done and what cannot be done in cancer. I think, unfortunately, becoming an expert is as much a poison to writing a book as it is to treating a patient.”

Mukherjee realizes that America’s 40-year war on cancer (or for that matter the 2,500-year war since Queen Atossa of Persia had a tumor excised from her breast) is littered with hopes and dreams for cures that never appeared. The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer is a sober assessment of the state of cancer and makes no claims that defeating it is within our reach. Yet Mukherjee, an assistant professor of 

medicine at Columbia University, acknowledges a biomedical renaissance is under way, writing, “The tools that we will use to battle cancer in the future will doubtless alter so dramatically in 50 years that the geography of cancer prevention and therapy might be unrecognizable.”

Paul Costello, chief communications officer for the School of Medicine, caught up with the Stanford graduate in August as Mukherjee was on vacation winding down from the year’s non-stop action as a clinician, researcher and celebrated author.

Ovarian Cancer Stages Biography

Treatment usually begins with surgery to remove the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and cervix. Often the lymph nodes in the abdomen are also removed. This will be followed by radiation or chemotherapy or both depending upon the stage at which the cancer was diagnosed.
It is worth noting that long-term use of birth control pills protects against ovarian cancer.
What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for ovarian cancer
Results of an Australian study published in the Aug. 20, 2003, issue of the International Journal of Cancer suggest that women whose diets were high in vegetables before they developed ovarian cancer lived longer after treatment than those whose diets did not contain as many vegetables. The research team asked 609 women treated for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer (the most common type of the disease) about their intake of 119 foods during the year before they were diagnosed. They found that the 45 percent who lived five years or longer after diagnosis were those who ate the most vegetables (excluding potatoes). Women who ate cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower survived longer, as did those whose diets additionally contained high levels of vitamin E (vitamin E supplements did not appear to help).

The researchers also found that eating dairy products had a negative effect. Women whose intake of lactose, calcium and dairy products was highest had about a 30-percent greater risk of dying early than those who ate the least of these foods.

Any study based on recall of eating habits is weak, and the results of this study will have to be confirmed by further research to be sure that eating vegetables prolongs survival and that consuming dairy foods compromises longer-term survival. But I would not wait for those results to increase your intake of vegetables. There already is ample evidence to suggest that eating five or more daily servings of vegetables and fruit benefits your health and lowers the risk of several types of cancer.

Liver Cancer Symptoms Biography

Source(google.com.pk)

The liver, one of the largest organs of the body, has many important functions that keep a person healthy. It removes harmful material from the blood, produces enzymes and bile that help digest food and converts food into substances needed for life and growth.
Cancer of the liver, which may be primary or secondary cancer, involves an uncontrolled growth of cells. Primary cancer arises within the liver and in its early stages exists only in the liver. Secondary liver cancer, also called metastatic cancer, originates in another organ, such as the colon, stomach, pancreas or breast and then spreads to the liver. Because secondary cancer is present in at least two organs, the treatment possibilities are more limited than for primary liver cancer.

Surgery
Surgery is the most common treatment for cancer of the liver.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is the use of X-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation comes from a machine outside the body, or external radiation therapy. Radiation can be used alone or in addition to surgery and chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy for liver cancer is usually put into the body by inserting a needle into a vein or artery. This type of chemotherapy is called a systemic treatment because the drug enters the bloodstream, travels through the body, and can kill cancer cells outside the liver. In another type of chemotherapy called regional chemotherapy, a small pump containing drugs is placed in the body. The pump puts drugs directly into the blood vessels, called arteries, that go to the tumor.

Testicular Cancer Biography

Source(google.com.pk)

In early 2010, a good friend and brother of ours, Sean, was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He has since gone through chemotherapy and his cancer is thankfully in remission. It took Sean over one month from the time he first noticed symptoms of his cancer till he decided to see a doctor. Testicular cancer does not receive as much awareness as it should. It is the most common cancer in men ages 15-35. Throughout Sean’s journey we noticed a major problem; most men don’t expect to have cancer at such a young age, so they are not self checking or looking for the symptoms. When men do see symptoms they typically don’t know that they’re cancer symptoms. Additionally many men are embarrassed to bring up these symptoms with family or doctors. This is why we have started [Besties with Testies]®; to raise awareness for testicular cancer.

Our Mission is to be activity promoting public interest and awareness in testicular cancer by informing the public in the field of early detection and self-examination, and providing tools and resources to testicular cancer awareness educators and advocates and testicular cancer patients and survivors via the internet and through organizing, conducting and attending projects and events to raise funds for testicular cancer awareness.
Our Goal is to educate about Testicular Cancer leading to zero deaths from testicular cancer.
