TL;DR: The origins of the Cancer Control and Health Outcomes Committee within CALGB is described and significant findings are described, which paved the way for other cooperative groups to develop these modalities.

TL;DR: This pooled analysis shows that long duration/low intensity smoking is associated with a greater increase in bladder cancer risk than short duration/high intensity smoking within equal pack–year categories, thus confirming studies in other smoking-related cancers and demonstrating that reducing exposure history to a single metric such as pack–years was too restrictive.

TL;DR: Although attempts to trace every participant are preferable in a cohort study, passive surveillance may yield unbiased risk estimates when a rare disease is being investigated and lend credence to passive follow-up methods.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that recently diagnosed cancer patients are aware that quitting tobacco is important, are making attempts to quit, and are amenable to an opt-out automatic referral cessation support service as part of their cancer care.

TL;DR: Future evaluations of immunohistochemical staining may be usefully conducted using automated scoring of nuclei, as Automated scoring of AR staining is comparable to manual scoring of Ar in prostate tissue.
