Researchers have published a new study on the workforce dynamics of radiation oncologists in the United States, highlighting the importance of an accurate accounting of the current number of practicing radiation oncologists. The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Workforce Committee reviewed and evaluated multiple approaches in assessing the radiation
Comorbidity
Researchers at Emory University have conducted a study on the relationship between seizure control and the development of comorbidities in individuals with epilepsy. The study, published in the journal Seizure, analyzed data from the HealthVerity Marketplace Inovalon healthcare claims database and found that adults with uncontrolled epilepsy had a higher

Recent research has shed light on the significant complications associated with Ivor-Lewis Esophagectomy (ILE), a surgical procedure for patients with invasive esophageal cancer. Despite improvements over time, ILE carries high morbidity and mortality rates. A team of investigators from Emory University analyzed postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing ILE, comparing open,
