RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer experience significant psychological distress and encounter barriers to accessing mental health care. Few studies have investigated racial/ethnic disparities in psychological health outcomes among AYA survivors, and none have compared outcomes within a racially minoritized population. METHODS: National Health Interview Survey data (2010-2018) were analyzed that identified non-Hispanic Black (hereafter, Black) survivors of AYA cancer and age- and sex-matched Black noncancer controls. Sociodemographic factors, chronic health conditions, modifiable behaviors (smoking and alcohol use), and psychological outcomes were assessed with χ2 tests. Logistic regression models, adjusted for survey weights, were used to evaluate the odds of psychological distress by cancer status after adjusting for covariates. Interactions between variables and cancer status were investigated. RESULTS: The study included 334 Black survivors of AYA cancer and 3340 Black controls. Compared to controls, survivors were more likely to report moderate/severe distress (odds ratio [OR], 1.64; p < .001), use mental health care (OR, 1.53; p = .027), report an inability to afford mental health care (OR, 3.82; p < .001), and use medication for anxiety and/or depression (OR, 2.16; p = .001). Forty-one percent of survivors reported moderate/severe distress, and only 15% used mental health care. Among survivors, ages 18-39 years (vs. 40-64 years) and current smoking (vs. never smoking) were associated with the presence of moderate/severe distress. Among survivors with distress, high poverty status was associated with reduced utilization of mental health care. CONCLUSIONS: A cancer diagnosis for a Black AYA is associated with greater psychological distress within an already vulnerable population.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer face significant psychological distress and encounter barriers accessing mental health care. However, limited research exists on psychological health among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) survivors of AYA cancer, particularly in comparison with heterosexual survivors and LGB individuals without a history of cancer. METHODS: Using the National Health Interview Survey (2013-2018), we identified LGB survivors of AYA cancer, LGB individuals without a history of cancer, and heterosexual survivors of AYA cancer. Sociodemographic, chronic health conditions, modifiable factors (such as smoking and alcohol use), and psychological outcomes were assessed using chi-square tests. Logistic regression models, adjusted for survey weights, evaluated the odds of psychological distress by cancer status after accounting for covariates. Interactions between variables and cancer status were explored. RESULTS: The study comprised 145 LGB survivors, 1450 LGB individuals without a history of cancer, and 1450 heterosexual survivors. Compared to heterosexual survivors, LGB survivors were more likely to report severe distress (aOR = 2.26, p = 0.021) and had higher odds of reporting a mental health care visit (aOR = 1.98, p = 0.003). Odds of severe distress (aOR = 1.36, p = 0.36) and reporting a mental health care visit (aOR = 1.27, p = 0.29) were similar between LGB survivors and LGB individuals without a history of cancer. While 47.8% of LGB survivors reported moderate/severe distress, only 29.7% reported a mental health care visit. CONCLUSION: A history of cancer during the AYA years is associated higher odds of severe psychological distress among LGB survivors compared to heterosexual survivors. However, many LGB survivors with psychological distress have not accessed mental health care.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Although there are a growing number of survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer, to the authors' knowledge the long-term overall survival (OS) patterns for AYA cancer survivors are underreported. The objective of the current study was to assess the long-term survival of AYA cancer survivors and identify factors associated with diminished long-term survival. METHODS: The authors used The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center's tumor registry to identify 5-year survivors of cancer diagnosed as AYAs (ages 15-39 years) between the years 1970 and 2005, and who were alive 5 years after diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate OS rates over time, and Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to evaluate the association of covariates with OS. RESULTS: The authors identified 16,728 individuals who were 5-year survivors of cancer and were diagnosed as AYAs with a median follow-up of 20.0 years. The 10-year, 20-year, and 25-year OS rates were 86% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 85%-86%), 74% (95% CI, 73%-75%), and 68% (95% CI, 67%-68%), respectively, all of which were lower than the age-adjusted estimated survival rates of the general population. Long-term OS improved for AYAs diagnosed between 2000 and 2005 compared with those diagnosed in the prior decades (P < .001). Older age at the time of diagnosis, receipt of radiation, and diagnoses including central nervous system tumors and breast cancer each were associated with diminished long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS: AYA cancer survivors have inferior long-term survival compared with the general population. Studies investigating the prevalence and types of late treatment effects and causes of death among AYA survivors are needed to more accurately identify AYAs who are at highest risk of early or late mortality.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The US population of adolescent and young adult (age 15-39 years at diagnosis) cancer survivors is growing. Previous studies have identified racial and ethnic disparities in survival and health outcomes in racially minoritized survivors, including Black survivors, compared with White survivors. However, comparisons should be made between those of the same race or ethnicity with and without a history of AYA cancer to fully understand the association of a cancer diagnosis with socioeconomic status (SES) and health outcomes within a minoritized population. METHODS: Non-Hispanic Black AYA cancer survivors and non-Hispanic Black age- and sex-matched controls were identified from self-reported data from the National Health Interview Survey (2009-2018). SES factors and chronic health conditions prevalence were compared between survivors and controls using chi-square tests. Survey-weighted logistic regression models were used to determine odds of chronic conditions by SES factors within and between survivors and controls. Interactions between each variable and cancer group were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 445 survivors and 4450 controls were included. Survivors were less likely than controls to be married, have family income >45K/year, have completed a bachelor's degree or higher, and have private insurance. Survivors had higher odds than controls of having at least one (odds ratio (OR): 7.02, p<0.001) and ≥3 (OR: 4.44, p<0.001) chronic conditions. Survivors had higher odds of each chronic condition assessed including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Survivors had higher odds of having chronic health conditions compared with controls across all SES variables. CONCLUSIONS: A cancer diagnosis during adolescence and young adulthood is associated with poor SES outcomes and increased odds of comorbidities within the Black population, thus further exacerbating existing disparities. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Black AYA cancer survivors have a very high risk of developing chronic health conditions after cancer treatment and interventions are needed to improve long-term health outcomes for this population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Advancements in treatment and supportive care have led to improved survival for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer; however, a subset of those diagnosed remain at risk for early death (within 2 months of diagnosis). Factors that place AYAs at increased risk of early death have not been well studied. METHODS: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry was used to assess risk of early death in AYAs with hematologic malignancies, central nervous system tumors, and solid tumors. Associations between age at diagnosis, sex, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, insurance status, rurality, and early death were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 268 501 AYAs diagnosed between 2000 and 2016 were included. Early death percentage was highest in patients diagnosed with hematologic malignancies (3.1%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.9% to 3.2%), followed by central nervous system tumors (2.5%, 95% CI = 2.3% to 2.8%), and solid tumors (1.0%, 95% CI = 0.9% to 1.0%). Age at diagnosis, race, ethnicity, lower socioeconomic status, and insurance status were associated with increased risk of early death in each of the cancer types. For AYAs with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, risk of early death decreased statistically significantly over time. CONCLUSIONS: A subset of AYAs with cancer remains at risk for early death. In addition to cancer type, sociodemographic factors also affect risk of early death. A better understanding of the interplay of factors related to cancer type, treatment, and health systems that place certain AYA subsets at higher risk for early death is needed to address these disparities and improve outcomes.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: There is a growing population of survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers (age 15-39 years at diagnosis). Studies in AYA cancer survivors have identified racial and ethnic disparities in long-term outcomes. To understand the extent to which a cancer diagnosis exacerbates pre-existent health disparities within a minoritized population, comparisons should be made to those of the same race or ethnicity without a cancer history. METHODS: Self-reported data from the National Health Interview Survey (2009-2018) were used to identify Hispanic AYA cancer survivors and Hispanic age- and sex-matched controls. SES factors (marital status, income, education, insurance) and prevalence of chronic health conditions were compared between groups using chi-square tests. The log-odds of chronic conditions were modeled by survey-weighted logistic regression with relation to age at survey, sex, marital status, education, family income, and cancer group (control versus cancer), together with interactions between each variable and cancer group (survivors vs. controls). RESULTS: Five hundred thirty-nine survivors and 5390 controls were included. Compared with controls, survivors were less likely to be married and have family income > 45 K/year, and more likely to be insured and have completed some college. Survivors had higher odds than controls of chronic health conditions (odds ratio (OR): 7.39, p < 0.001 for at least 1 and OR: 4.78, p < 0.001 for 3 or more) including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Female sex, higher educational attainment, and public insurance were each associated with increased odds of chronic conditions in Hispanic AYA survivors. CONCLUSIONS: An AYA cancer diagnosis is associated with poor SES outcomes and increased odds of comorbidities within the Hispanic population. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Cancer history can exacerbate underlying health disparities. Screening for chronic conditions is especially important in minoritized populations.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: There is a growing population of adolescent and young adult (AYA, age 15-39 years) acute leukemia survivors in whom long-term mortality outcomes are largely unknown. METHODS: The current study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry to assess long-term outcomes of AYA acute leukemia 5-year survivors. The impact of diagnosis age, sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and decade of diagnosis on long-term survival were assessed utilizing an accelerated failure time model. RESULTS: A total of 1,938 AYA acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 2,350 AYA acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivors diagnosed between 1980 and 2009 were included with a median follow-up of 12.3 and 12.7 years, respectively. Ten-year survival for ALL and AML survivors was 87% and 89%, respectively, and 99% for the general population. Survival for AYA leukemia survivors remained below that of the age-adjusted general population at up to 30 years of follow-up. Primary cancer mortality was the most common cause of death in early survivorship with noncancer causes of death becoming more prevalent in later decades of follow-up. Male AML survivors had significantly worse survival than females (survival time ratio: 0.61, 95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.82). CONCLUSIONS: AYA leukemia survivors have higher mortality rates than the general population that persist for decades after diagnosis. IMPACT: While there have been improvements in late mortality, long-term survival for AYA leukemia survivors remains below that of the general population. Studies investigating risk factors for mortality and disparities in late effects among long-term AYA leukemia survivors are needed.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The population of adolescent and young adult (AYA, ages 15-39 years) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivors is growing, however long-term overall survival patterns and disparities are largely unknown. METHODS: The current study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry to assess the impact of race/ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and rurality on long-term survival in 5-year DLBCL survivors using an accelerated failure time model. RESULTS: Included were 4767 5-year survivors of AYA DLBCL diagnosed between the years 1980 and 2009 with a median follow-up time of 13.4 years. Non-Hispanic Black survivors had significantly worse long-term survival than non-Hispanic White survivors (Survival Time Ratio (STR): 0.53, p < 0.0001). Male sex (STR: 0.57, p < 0.0001) and older age at diagnosis were also associated with reduced long-term survival. There was no evidence that survival disparities improved over time. CONCLUSIONS: Racial disparities persist well into survivorship among AYA DLBCL survivors. Studies investigating specific factors associated with survival disparities are urgently needed to better address these disparities.

RESUMEN

Benefit from chemotherapy for well-differentiated/de-differentiated (WD/DD) liposarcomas has been reported to be minimal, however traditional response criteria may not adequately capture positive treatment effect. In this study, we evaluate benefit from first-line chemotherapy and characterize imaging response characteristics in patients with retroperitoneal (RP) WD/DD liposarcoma treated at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Response was assessed using RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) and an exploratory analysis of vascular response was characterized. Among 82 patients evaluable for response to first-line therapy, 31 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for localized/locally advanced disease; 51 received chemotherapy for unresectable recurrent/metastatic disease. Median overall survival from the start of chemotherapy was 29 months (95% CI 24-40 months). Response rates by RECIST: partial response (PR) 21% (17/82), stable disease (SD) 40%, and progression (PD) 39%. All RECIST responses were in patients receiving combination chemotherapy. A qualitative vascular response was seen in 24 patients (31%). Combination chemotherapy yields a response rate of 24% and a clinical benefit rate (CR/PR/SD > 6 months) of 44%, higher than previously reported in DD liposarcoma. A higher percentage of patients experience a vascular response with chemotherapy that is not adequately captured by RECIST in these large heterogeneous tumors.

RESUMEN

The authors examined the impact of alcohol consumption on women's risk perceptions and intended behaviors in a hypothetical situation in which the potential for establishing a relationship with an attractive man was coupled with the potential for sexual aggression. Fifty-nine single women, ages 21-29, were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 beverage conditions: (a) alcohol (dose sufficient to raise blood alcohol level to .08); (b) placebo, in which they were led to believe that they had consumed alcohol but had not; or (c) no alcohol, in which they neither expected nor received alcohol. Compared with women in the no-alcohol condition, women in the alcohol condition (a) rated the male character in the vignette more positively, (b) anticipated less risk and more benefit resulting from a series of behaviors likely to facilitate the relationship while increasing sexual vulnerability (e.g., engaging in consensual sexual activities), and (c) anticipated greater involvement in those behaviors. The placebo appeared to exert similar but weaker effects.

RESUMEN

In the initial phase of a romantic relationship, excitement often reflects the reawakening of early narcissistic fantasy. For most couples, when the passionate intensity that is derived from primitive narcissism fades, the expansiveness of a developing sense of self that is a by-product of the creative process can, in turn, revitalize the partnership. Arieti's work on creativity is applied to understanding how some passionate intensity can be retained over the lifetime of a marriage.

RESUMEN

The interplay between idealization and disillusionment in the evolution of romantic love is examined. Idealization refers to the reawakening of conscious and unconscious fantasies that lovers project onto each other. Disillusionment refers to a change in perception that occurs when projections are not sustained. The optimal balance between idealization and disillusionment facilitates the deepening of intimacy in a process similar to the one Kohut describes in the development of self structure. Conversely, a great imbalance between idealization and disillusionment can lead to heartache. Works by Freud, Kernberg, and Kohut are discussed.

RESUMEN

Over a 2-year period, 21 patients with clinical and radiologic evidence of persistent or recurrent frontal sinusitis who had a prior ethmoidectomy and/or frontal sinusotomy underwent an endoscopic Lothrop procedure. The patients' chief complaints were headaches (13), nasal obstruction and/or purulent rhinorrhea (4), orbital abscess/cellulitis (2), anosmia (1), and cough (1). Preoperative frontal headaches were present in 19 patients. The common frontal ostium remained patent (> 50% of intraoperative size) by flexible fiberoptic examination and transillumination 2-24 months postoperatively in 12 of 21 patients (57%). Eighteen of 21 patients (86%) had improved or resolved chief complaints. All but 4 of 19 patients (21%) with preoperative frontal headaches had improved or resolved symptoms. Two patients required additional surgery during the follow-up period. The endoscopic Lothrop procedure is a viable option before frontal sinus obliteration in patients with recurring frontal sinusitis who have failed conventional endoscopic techniques. The surgical technique and results will be presented.

RESUMEN

Survey data were used to analyze state government efforts to promote supported housing for persons with psychiatric disabilities in five states--Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin. States worked to increase mental health service consumers' access to affordable housing by increasing the number of state staff who address housing issues, by developing housing units, and by increasing consumers' income. Legislative mandates and financial incentives were used to encourage service providers to offer more flexible support services. States promoted consumers' involvement in the mental health system by encouraging their participation in state-level decision making and by providing financial support to consumer organizations.
