Official title
Registry Study to Evaluate the Clinical Outcome of Cancer Patients and Benign Diseases Treated With Radiation at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Overview
Registry database repository for determining clinical outcomes primarily of patients who have received or have been evaluated for radiation treatment in either the definitive or palliative setting for both malignant and benign etiologies. To compare the outcomes with National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) of the American College of Surgeon(ACS).
Detailed description
Investigator will retrospectively collect and evaluate information from patients with cancer or benign etiologies to improve future clinical outcomes and help identify prospective outcomes study questions. This information will include patients' name, medical record number, medical history, diagnosis, treatment, laboratory test results, diagnostic test results, pathology reports, therapeutic and nontherapeutic results, surgical results, radiology results, radiation therapy details (dose, techniques, toxicity), concurrent use of chemotherapy/systemic therapy, quality of life outcomes,cachexia status, and primarily last follow-up data. All information will be collected after their standard of care visits.
Interventions
