Quality of Post-Treatment Surveillance of Cancer Patients in Texas
(8/01/10-12/31/15)
RP101207-P03 (PI: James Goodwin, Co-PI: Taylor S. Riall)
The primary goal of surveillance following curative treatment for
cancer, regardless of site, is to detect local recurrence or distant
disease at a time when survival can be prolonged by interventions
designed to cure or at least treat the disease more effectively than
when discovered later. Secondary goals include patient and physician
reassurance, introduction of palliative chemotherapy and/or radiation to
slow disease progression, and early referral to hospice when the
further therapy is not indicated. For cancers, such as breast and
colorectal, where recurrences and second primary cancers amenable to
cure commonly occur, the argument for surveillance is compelling. In
contrast, for cancers such as lung and pancreas, there is little to no
evidence that early identification of metastatic disease in asymptomatic
patients improves long-term survival and the other potential benefits
of post-treatment surveillance have not been systematically studied.

Underutilization of Surgical Resection in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer
(10/01/08-9/30/13)
(PI: Taylor S. Riall)
The goal of this research is to describe the evaluation process of patients with locoregional and metastatic pancreatic cancer including
specialist visits and key diagnostic tests to describe the patient,
tumor, surgeon, hospital volume, and medical system characteristics
which predict the receipt of surgical evaluation and surgery in patients
with locoregional pancreatic cancer. This grant also evaluates the
extent of and trends in regionalization of care to high-volume centers
(> 10 pancreatic resections per year) among Medicare patients with
locoregional and metastatic pancreatic cancer and assesses variability
in care among Medicare providers performing pancreatic resection.
