Journal ArticleDOI
Using a composite index of socioeconomic status to investigate health disparities while protecting the confidentiality of cancer registry data
TL;DR: A census tract-based composite SES index to be released in place of individual census tracts to minimize the risk of disclosure and provide a valuable tool for monitoring the disparities in cancer burdens while avoiding potential identity disclosure is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bias Associated With Self-Report of Prior Screening Mammography
Kathleen A. Cronin,Diana L. Miglioretti,Martin Krapcho,Binbing Yu,Berta M. Geller,Patricia A. Carney,Tracy Onega,Eric J. Feuer,Nancy Breen,Rachel Ballard-Barbash +9 more
TL;DR: Overestimation of self-reported mammography usage from national surveys varies by age and race/ethnicity, and a more nuanced approach that accounts for demographic differences is needed when adjusting for overestimation or assessing disparities between populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of tamoxifen use for breast cancer chemoprevention among U.S. women.
TL;DR: The prevalence of tamoxifen use for primary prevention of breast cancer was very low in the years 2000 and 2005, and possible explanations for the low uptake are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast-cancer-specific mortality in patients treated based on the 21-gene assay: a SEER population-based study
Valentina I. Petkov,Dave P. Miller,Nadia Howlader,Nathan Gliner,Will Howe,Nicola Schussler,Kathleen A. Cronin,Frederick L. Baehner,Rosemary D. Cress,Dennis Deapen,Sally L. Glaser,Brenda Y. Hernandez,Charles F. Lynch,Lloyd Mueller,Ann G. Schwartz,Stephen M. Schwartz,Antoinette M. Stroup,Carol Sweeney,Thomas C. Tucker,Kevin C. Ward,Charles L. Wiggins,Xiao-Cheng Wu,Lynne Penberthy,Steven Shak +23 more
TL;DR: This SEER study represents the largest report of prospective BCSM outcomes based on Recurrence Score results for patients with HR+, HER2-negative, node- negative, or node-positive breast cancer, including subgroups often under-represented in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cumulative cause-specific mortality for cancer patients in the presence of other causes: a crude analogue of relative survival.
Kathleen A. Cronin,Eric J. Feuer +1 more
TL;DR: This paper suggests a measure for cumulative crude cause-specific probability of death for a population diagnosed with cancer, which does not use cause of death information which can be unreliable for population cancer registries.
