Abstract

In this retrospective, real-world study, we used medical claims data to evaluate the incidence of thromboembolic events (TEs), time to TE, associated risk factors, and health-care resource utilization (HRU) in Japanese patients with polycythemia vera (PV; N = 606) from April 1, 2008, to August 31, 2015. Baseline characteristics of interest included median age, 67.0 years; previous TEs, 11.6%; cardiovascular conditions (CVCs), 45.7%; and ≥ 3 risk factors, 17.8%. Overall, 100 patients experienced TEs (118 events) at a rate of 8.15/100 person-years [TE-free survival rate, 69.3% (2008–2015)]. The annual total health-care costs [mean (per person)] were significantly impacted by the presence of TEs (yes vs. no: ¥993,000 vs ¥459,000; P < 0.001). These results confirm that the presence of CVCs increases the risk of TEs in Japanese patients with PV; occurrence of TEs was associated with a higher HRU in these patients.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Dänische Zwillingsstudie deutet auf erhöhtes Krebsrisiko bei Tätowierten hin

Haben Tattoo-Träger und -Trägerinnen ein erhöhtes Risiko, an Hautkrebs oder einem Lymphom zu erkranken? Die Ergebnisse einer Zwillingsstudie aus Dänemark scheinen dafür zu sprechen. Die Forschungsgruppe rät vorerst zur Zurückhaltung beim Tätowieren.

Weniger PSA-Screening, mehr fortgeschrittene Tumoren

Eine Empfehlung gegen das Prostatakrebs-Screening, die mehrere Jahre in den Leitlinien des Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners gegeben wurde, hat sich nicht nur auf die Rate von PSA-Tests negativ ausgewirkt.

Schützt kutane Autoimmunität vor Hauttumoren?

Schwedische Registerdaten deuten auf ein geringeres Risiko für bestimmte Hauttumoren bei Personen mit Vitiligo oder autoimmuner Alopezie. Wie es dazu kommt, ist dagegen unklar.

Muss man wirklich auch die letzte Krebszelle eliminieren?

Genauere Prognoseabschätzung, bessere Therapiesteuerung und eine schnellere Entwicklung innovativer Behandlungsansätze – der Messung der minimalen Resterkrankung (MRD) wird ein enormes Potenzial attestiert. Eine Übersichtsarbeit unterstreicht jetzt aber: Es gibt noch blinde Flecken.
