Special considerations in assisted reproductive technology for patients with hematologic disease.

Populations with hematologic disorders seeking fertility care often present with a complex clinical picture, including disease-specific sequelae and comorbid conditions. Limited literature exists to help guide fertility clinics on the management of these patients, many of whom require multidisciplinary care coordination centered on patient-specific fertility goals. Thanks to advancements in life-prolonging therapies for hematologic disorders, growing numbers of affected individuals are seeking assisted reproductive technologies for family building.

Conditional Survival Analysis of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients Living ≥24 Months: A Single Institutional Study.

Objectives: The survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasing over recent decades due to improvements in chemotherapy and surgery. There is a need to refine prognostic information to more accurately predict survival as patients survive for any given length of time to assist multidisciplinary cancer management teams in treatment decisions.

Materials And Methods: We performed a single center retrospective analysis of patients treated with metastatic CRC (unresectable and resectable) who survived >24 months between 2005 and 2015 (N=155).
