Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

311
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

152
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

74
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death.
  • Adults aged 55-80 are at high risk, yet screening rates are low (4.5%).
  • Screening may lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of lung cancer screening on stage at diagnosis, treatment, and survival.
  • To compare outcomes between patients with and without a screening history.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of electronic health records (EHR) for lung cancer patients (2017-2020).
  • Comparison of survival using Kaplan-Meier curves based on screening history.
  • Analysis of stage at diagnosis and treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • 14.7% of patients had a screening history.
  • Screening patients were more likely diagnosed at early stages (59% vs 33%).
  • Screening patients had higher rates of surgery (41% vs 15%) and improved 3-year survival (47.4% vs 25.2%).

Conclusions:

  • Lung cancer diagnosed via screening is typically earlier stage.
  • Early-stage diagnosis facilitates surgical intervention.
  • Routine lung cancer screening improves treatment options and survival rates.
