Physicians’ Beliefs About Breast Cancer Surveillance Testing are Consistent With Test Overuse
BACKGROUND: Overuse of surveillance testing for breast cancer survivors is an important problem but its extent and determinants are incompletely understood. The objectives of this study were to determine the extent to which physicians' breast cancer surveillance testing beliefs are consistent with test overuse, and to identify factors associated with these beliefs. METHODS: During 2009-2010, a cross-sectional survey of US medical oncologists and …
Marital status and survival following bladder cancer
BACKGROUND: Marital status has been implicated as a prognostic factor in bladder cancer survival. However, few studies have explored potential mechanisms through which this might occur. METHODS: The study identified 19,982 bladder cancer patients from the SEER-Medicare database (1992-8) and constructed sex-specific Cox proportional hazard models to assess the relation between marital status and 5-year survival, while sequentially adding covariate…
Identifying Cancer Relapse Using Seer-Medicare Data
INTRODUCTION: Tumor registries capture valid information at the time of cancer diagnosis, but often do not conduct longitudinal follow-up evaluations. However, investigators may be interested in questions relating to subsequent relapsed disease. Linking administrative data to registry data, as in the creation of the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) and Medicare data set, can provide the ability to infer the occurrence of relapse…
Methodological Issues in the Use of Administrative Claims Data to Study Surveillance After Cancer Treatment
BACKGROUND: Administrative claims databases linked to tumor registry data provide an excellent opportunity for studying the follow-up care of cancer patients. RESEARCH DESIGN: Methodological principles of study design are reviewed, using examples drawn from the recently published literature. RESULTS: Most follow-up care is outpatient-based. Therefore, in studies using Medicare claims, the patient should be eligible for Medicare Part B and should …
Measuring Complications of Cancer Treatment Using the Seer-Medicare Data
BACKGROUND: The linkage of SEER registry data with Medicare claims allows the longitudinal tracking of health care and outcomes for patients after a cancer diagnosis. One category of outcomes amenable to research using Medicare claims is complications of cancer treatments: the unintentional, adverse side effects or sequelae of interventions used to treat or palliate cancer patients. RESEARCH DESIGN: The authors review some of the methods and limi…
