What factors are predictive of surgical resection and survival from localised non-small cell lung cancer?
No full textOBJECTIVE: To investigate opportunities to reduce lung cancer mortality after diagnosis of localised non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in New South Wales through surgical resection. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND SETTING: In this cohort study, resection rates and lung cancer mortality risk were explored using multivariate logistic regression and competing risk regression, respectively. Data for 3040 patients were extracted from the NSW Central Cancer Registry for the diagnostic period 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2007. Subset analyses for patients at low surgical risk indicated resection rates and outcomes under ideal circumstances. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Resection rates and lung cancer mortality. RESULTS: The resection rate in NSW was estimated to be between 38% and 43%, peaking at 59% by local health district (LHD) of residence. Not having a resection was associated with older age, lower socioeconomic status, lack of private health insurance, and residence by LHD. Adjusted 5-year cumulated probabilities of death were 76% in absence of resection, 30% for wedge resection, 18% for segmental resection, 22% for lobectomy and 45% for pneumonectomy. Of 255 "low surgical risk" patients, 71% had a resection. Those not receiving a resection had a higher probability of death (adjusted subhazard ratio, 14.1; 95% CI, 7.2-27.5). If the low overall resection rate of 38%-43% in NSW were increased to 59% (the highest LHD resection rate), the proportion of all patients with localised NSCLC dying of NSCLC in the 5 years from diagnosis would decrease by about 10%, based on differences in probabilities of death by resection estimated in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Potential exists to reduce deaths from NSCLC in NSW through increased resection.David C Currow, Hui You, Sanchia Aranda, Brian C McCaughan, Stephen Morrell, Deborah F Baker, Richard Walton and David M Rode
Swimming upstream: A survey of articles on groupwork in social work journals 1986-87
No full textThis is a literature review of articles appearing in weekly social work journals 1986-1987, describing groupwork projects and developments. The articles were classified into the following categories groupwork methods; groups used in child abuse; women’s group; ethnic issues; parents groups; work with offenders; groups for elderly and physically handicapped people and self-help groups. The paper gives a brief description of the groupwork, and discusses the implications of this work for service delivery particularly in local authority social work departments.Publisher’s note: We are now putting all back issues of Groupwork on line. Articles in this issue have been scanned to pdf files as viable original typesetting files no longer exist. Though they may not look it, these files are searchable. This issue was published nearly 30 years ago. We have stated author professional details as received at time of publication
An Historical Look at Gender in the ESL Classroom
No full textThe role that gender plays with respect to language learning in the classroom is ripe for investigation. Some educators and researchers maintain that females possess superior language skills. This author argues that ideas regarding female language superiority are suspect and may encourage discriminatory pedagogy for women as well as men
The IASLC mesothelioma staging project: proposals for the m descriptors and for revision of the TNM stage groupings in the forthcoming (eighth) edition of the TNM classification for mesothelioma
No full textINTRODUCTION The M component and TNM stage groupings for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have been empirical. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed a multinational database to propose evidence-based revisions for the eighth edition of the TNM classification of MPM.
METHODS Data from 29 centers were submitted either electronically or by transfer of existing institutional databases. The M component as it currently stands was validated by confirming sufficient discrimination (by Kaplan-Meier analysis) with respect to overall survival (OS) between the clinical M0 (cM0) and cM1 categories. Candidate stage groups were developed by using a recursive partitioning and amalgamation algorithm applied to all cM0 cases.
RESULTS Of 3519 submitted cases, 2414 were analyzable and 84 were cM1 cases. Median OS for cM1 cases was 9.7 months versus 13.4 months (p = 0.0013) for the locally advanced (T4 or N3) cM0 cases, supporting inclusion of only cM1 in the stage IV group. Exploratory analyses suggest a possible difference in OS for single- versus multiple-site cM1 cases. A recursive partitioning and amalgamation-generated survival tree on the OS outcomes restricted to cM0 cases with the newly proposed (eighth edition) T and N components indicates that optimal stage groupings for the eighth edition will be as follows: stage IA (T1N0), stage IB (T2-3N0), stage II (T1-2N1), stage IIIA (T3N1), stage IIIB (T1-3N2 or any T4), and stage IV (any M1).
CONCLUSIONS This first evidence-based revision of the TNM classification for MPM leads to substantial changes in the T and N components and the stage groupings
Navegando pelo labirinto do silêncio: artistas feministas no México Navigating the labyrinth of silence: feminist artists in Mexico
No full textO artigo aborda a relação problemática entre a produção artística feminina, o feminismo e os movimentos politicamente orientados surgidos no México na década de 1970. Através de entrevistas com algumas das principais artistas mexicanas da época, o autor demonstra que nem o feminismo, nem os movimentos de esquerda deram apoio às realizações artísticas das mulheres, que puderam contar apenas com seus próprios recursos na criação de novas estruturas, estéticas e práticas feministas.The paper examines the problematic relation between the artistic production of women, feminism and the politically-oriented movements in the 1970's in Mexico. Based on interviews with some of the most important Mexican women artists, the author argues that neither feminism nor the Left gave support to women's art in its struggle for new structures, a new aesthetics, and a differentiated feminist practice
Node-Negative Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Pathological Staging and Survival in 1765 Consecutive Cases
No full textIntroductionThis study aimed to evaluate prognostic factors in patients with node-negative non-small cell lung cancer and to assess revised International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer staging recommendations for this group.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 1765 consecutive pathologically node-negative patients treated by surgical resection between 1984 and 2007 was performed. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method. The independence of prognostic factors was analyzed using multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling.ResultsThe median age of patients was 68 years, and the average length of follow-up was 6.3 years. Perioperative mortality was 1.7%. The median survival was 6.5 years, with a 56% of the cohort surviving 5 years. Factors associated with poorer prognosis were male gender (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.30, p = <0.001), age (HR: 1.04 per year of increase, p < 0.001), limited resection (HR: 1.30, p = 0.002) tumor size (HR: 1.10 per 10 mm increase, p < 0.001), large cell histopathological cell type (HR: 1.35, p < 0.001), and positive resection margins (HR: 1.58, p = 0.002). T stage was a superior predictor of survival than tumor size (p < 0.001). There was no difference in survival by T-stage descriptor within stage T2 or T3.ConclusionsIn surgically treated, node-negative non-small cell lung cancer, revised International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer staging criteria stratify survival well. Age, gender, and extent of resection are also important predictors of survival. Current T-stage descriptor groupings are appropriate
