Simply Too Busy To Control PRDX5?

We sought to determine the survival benefits judged sufficient to make ACT worthwhile in patients considering ACT for NSCLC and their doctors. Methods:?One hundred and twenty-two patients and 82 doctors completed a self-administered questionnaire. Patients completed it at baseline and 6 months (before and after ACT, if they had it) and doctors completed it once only. The time trade-off method was used to determine the minimum survival benefits judged sufficient to make ACT worthwhile in 4 hypothetical scenarios. Baseline survival times were 3 years and 5 years and baseline survival rates (at 5 years) were 50% and 65%. All cancer inhibitor tests were 2 sided and non-parametric. Results:?At baseline, MCC950 cell line 50% of patients judged an extra 9 months (IQR 1�C12 months) sufficient beyond 3 years and 5 years, and 5% (IQR 0.1�C10%) sufficient beyond 50% and 65%. At 6 months (n?=?91), the median benefits were the same as at baseline but varied over a wider range (IQR's 0�C18 months and 0�C15%). Factors predicting patients judging smaller benefits sufficient were deciding to have ACT (p?=?0.01, 0.02) and better well-being during ACT (p?=?0.02, 0.004, p?=?0.004). Doctors' preferences, compared with patients' preferences, had the same median benefit (9 months and 5%) but varied over a smaller range (IQR, 6�C12 months v 1�C12 months, pPRDX5 v 0.1�C10% p
