PRAGRAD, a new patient-driven treatment approach for very advanced oral cavity #cancers (which cannot be surgically removed) shows significant improvement in patient outcomes: prospective study by CMC #research team.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, #patients are given the choice of #palliative care or aggressive chemoradiation, promoting shared decision-making and #PatientAutonomy.
It was found that when decision making was shared, more patients were willing to try aggressive chemoradiation; half the number who responded to initial #chemotherapy and continued aggressive treatment, survived over 30 months - 5 times longer than those choosing palliation (6 months). Nearly half survived beyond 2 years - a remarkable outcome for this advanced stage.

D3 and almost at the end and the Audience is engaged and questions are coming through in the interaction time. Symposium on #HealthData & #AI @OffCMCVellore #CAHO

150 patients' data analyzed. Radiomics with clinical data, were used to build predictive models using Machine Learning. Clinical + T2W-MR model achieved the best prediction accuracy (AUC = 0.72). Further validation needed with a larger cohort.

Can MRI and CT Radiomics Predict Treatment Outcome in Rectal Cancer? Pre-treatment MRI with clinical features shows potential. Personalization strategies (e.g. aggressive Tx for high-risk, organ preservation for low-risk patients need accurate predictors. https://t.co/mOYtzFFaf6
