Are ethnic disparities reduced in VA colon cancer patients?
There does not appear to be a disparity in outcomes for colon cancer patients where equal access to medical care exists. This is based on findings of equal stages at presentation, time to referral, and survival among groups.
In adolescents who receive ANT therapy, changes in two-dimensional LV global LPSS precede decreases in EF, and segmental changes in mid and apical LV LPSS suggest an increased likelihood that depressed LV EF will be observed later in follow-up. Two-dimensional speckle tracking-derived LV LPSS is potentially useful in the serial clinical monitoring of ANT cardiotoxicity.
