TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guidelines to assist primary care clinicians in delivering risk-based health care for colorectal cancer survivors who have completed active therapy, including communication and coordination of care between the treating oncologist and the primary care clinician to effectively manage the long-term care of CRC survivors.

TL;DR: Quality improvement using the Six Core Elements of Health Care Transition resulted in the development of a systematic clinical transition process in pediatric and adult academic primary care practices.

TL;DR: The first warfarin dosing algorithm that includes recently discovered polymorphisms in VKORC1 and CYP2C9 associated with warfar in African Americans AAs is developed and compared to the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC) dosing algorithms.

TL;DR: The first genome-wide association study in AAs, comprising 578 subjects, followed by replication of highly significant findings in an independent cohort of 159 AA subjects, provides new molecular insight into a mechanism regulating VTE susceptibility and identifies common genetic variants that increase the risk of VTE in Aas.

TL;DR: This is the first report of patients with the rare CYP2C9*12 genotype and lower warfarin dose requirements and individual comparisons with patients possessing the same VKORC1 and APOE genotypes demonstrated lower dose requirements.
