Timothy P. Hanna,Will D. King,Stephane Thibodeau,Matthew Jalink,Gregory A. Paulin,Elizabeth Harvey-Jones,Dylan E O'Sullivan,Christopher M. Booth,Richard Sullivan,Ajay Aggarwal,Ajay Aggarwal +10 more
TL;DR: Even a four week delay of cancer treatment is associated with increased mortality across surgical, systemic treatment, and radiotherapy indications for seven cancers and policies focused on minimising system level delays to cancer treatment initiation could improve population level survival outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between time to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy and survival in colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
James Joseph Biagi,Michael J. Raphael,William J. Mackillop,Weidong Kong,Will D. King,Christopher M. Booth +5 more
TL;DR: In a meta-analysis of the available literature on time to AC, longer time toAC was associated with worse survival among patients with resected colorectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disinfection byproducts and bladder cancer: a pooled analysis.
Cristina M. Villanueva,Kenneth P. Cantor,Sylvaine Cordier,Jouni J. K. Jaakkola,Will D. King,Charles F. Lynch,Stefano Porru,Manolis Kogevinas +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the risk of bladder cancer is increased with long-term exposure to disinfection byproducts at levels currently observed in many industrialized countries is strengthened.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between waiting time for radiotherapy and clinical outcomes: A systematic review of the literature
TL;DR: The risk of local recurrence increases with increasing WTs for RT, and the increase inLocal recurrence rate may translate into decreased survival in some clinical situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case-control study of bladder cancer and chlorination by-products in treated water (Ontario, Canada).
Will D. King,Loraine D. Marrett +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the risk of bladder cancer increases with both duration and concentration of exposure to chlorination by-products, with population attributable risks of about 14 to 16 percent.
