No single strategy or programmatic focus showed any clear advantage compared with another. Comprehensive interventions combining cognitive, behavioral, and affective components were more effective than single-focus interventions.

Despite a reassuring overall short-term risk, we could neither refute nor verify that individual anti-TNF therapies affect the short-term clinical emergence of cancer. Despite representing the best available evidence, statistical precision, and differences in baseline cancer risk and reporting detail between trials of adilumumab, etanercept, and infliximab hampered distinction of drug-specific from trial effects, illustrating the challenges in safety-assessments using RCT meta-analyses. Long-term risk assessment requires observational studies.
Aim: To conduct a retrospective analysis of electronic medical record data to understand real-world treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials & methods: We included n = 9656 adults (≥18 years) with metastatic NSCLC and no prior therapy. Data from 1 January 2013 to 31 January 2017 were analyzed. Results: Carboplatin plus paclitaxel was the most common first-line therapy (18.6%), and nivolumab was the most common second- (31.0%) and third-line (38.4%) therapy; 26.7% of all patients were untreated. Median OS from initial metastatic diagnosis was 11.1 months (95% CI: 10.8–11.5). Second-line immunotherapy extended OS by over 3 months versus second-line chemotherapy. Conclusion: Platinum-based therapy was the most common first-line therapy, and immunotherapy was the most common second- and third-line therapy. Median OS of patients with metastatic NSCLC was <1 year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
