“…Younger patients, previously associated with more treatment breaks during radiation delivery ( Echeverria et al, 2017 ), were found to also have a higher chance of early interruption of post-treatment surveillance. Other socio-demographic factors (higher number of pregnancies and greater distance from the patient’s home to the community cancer cancer) also negatively affected the compliance.…”

“…Several studies have looked at treatment compliance as an outcome of interest either for a particular disease or a combination of diseases [ 15 , 16 , 23 ]. However, as far as we are aware, these studies have focused their analysis on a univariate association of the available variables with the endpoint treatment compliance in (elderly) cancer patients.…”

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the available variables and treatment compliance in elderly cancer patients treated with radiotherapy and to establish a decision tree model to guide caregivers in their decision-making process. For this purpose, 456 patients over 74 years of age who received radiotherapy between 2005 and 2017 were included in this retrospective analysis. The outcome of interest was radiotherapy compliance, determined by whether patients completed their scheduled radiotherapy treatment (compliance means they completed their treatment and noncompliance means they did not). A bootstrap (B = 400) technique was implemented to select the best tuning parameters to establish the decision tree. The developed decision tree uses patient status, the Charlson comorbidity index, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance scale, age, sex, cancer type, health insurance status, radiotherapy aim, and fractionation type (conventional fractionation versus hypofractionation) to distinguish between compliant and noncompliant patients. The decision tree’s mean area under the curve and 95% confidence interval was 0.71 (0.66–0.77). Although external validation is needed to determine the decision tree’s clinical usefulness, its discriminating ability was moderate and it could serve as an aid for caregivers to select the optimal treatment for elderly cancer patients.

Factors Associated With Radiation Treatment Compliance for Women With Cervical Cancer in a Safety Net Health System

Abstract: Younger patients, those with psychiatric illness, and those with insurance define a group that is more likely to be noncompliant with treatment and hence may require up-front intervention to improve outcomes.
