TL;DR: Ten years after treatment, accelerated, hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation was not inferior to standard radiation treatment in women who had undergone breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer with clear surgical margins and negative axillary nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ivo A. Olivotto,Timothy J. Whelan,Sameer Parpia,Do Hoon Kim,Tanya Berrang,Pauline T. Truong,Iwa Kong,Brandy Cochrane,A. Nichol,Isabelle Roy,Isabelle Germain,Mohamed Akra,Melanie Reed,Anthony Fyles,Theresa Trotter,Francisco Perera,Wayne Beckham,Mark Levine,Jim A. Julian +18 more
TL;DR: 3D-CRT APBI increased rates of adverse cosmesis and late radiation toxicity compared with standard WBI, and Clinicians and patients are cautioned against the use of 3D- CRTAPBI outside the context of a controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
PRODIGE: a randomized placebo-controlled trial of dalteparin low-molecular-weight heparin thromboprophylaxis in patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma
James Perry,Jim A. Julian,Normand Laperriere,William Geerts,Giancarlo Agnelli,L. Rogers,Mark G. Malkin,Raymond E Sawaya,Ross I. Baker,Anna Falanga,Sameer Parpia,Terri Finch,Mark Levine +12 more
TL;DR: Trends suggesting reduced VTE and increased intracranial bleeding were seen in the LMWH thromboprophylaxis group, and the role of long‐term anticoagulant thrombiophylaxis in patients with brain tumors remains uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clive Kearon,Kerstin de Wit,Sameer Parpia,Sam Schulman,Marc Afilalo,Andrew Hirsch,Frederick A. Spencer,Sangita Sharma,Frédérick D’Aragon,Jean-Francois Deshaies,Grégoire Le Gal,Alejandro Lazo-Langner,Cynthia Wu,Lisa Rudd-Scott,Shannon M. Bates,Jim A. Julian,PEGeD Study Investigators +16 more
TL;DR: A combination of a low C-PTP and a d-dimer level of less than 1000 ng per milliliter identified a group of patients at low risk for pulmonary embolism during follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ian S. Dayes,Timothy J. Whelan,Jim A. Julian,Sameer Parpia,Kathleen I. Pritchard,David D'Souza,Lyn Kligman,Donna Reise,Linda LeBlanc,Margaret L. McNeely,Lee Manchul,Jennifer Wiernikowski,Mark Levine +12 more
TL;DR: This trial was unable to demonstrate a significant improvement in lymphedema with decongestive therapy compared with a more conservative approach, and the failure to detect a difference may have been a result of the relatively small size of this trial.
