N = 28 patients were admitted to hospital for a major cardiovascular-related event. Higher total treatment dose (p < 0.05), concomitant hypertension (p = 0.005), diabetes (p = 0.04), atrial fibrillation (p = 0.03), and lack of use of statin therapy (p = 0.03) were key contributors to hospital admission. Conclusions: Results of our study highlight the fact that patients with concomitant baseline cardiovascular disease/risk factors are at an increased risk of cardiovascular hospitalization related to bevacizumab treatment. Careful baseline cardiovascular assessment may be an essential step to minimize cardiovascular complications.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 13:22:56 AEDT ]]> Whole brain radiotherapy after local treatment of brain metastases in melanoma patients - a randomised phase III trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15470 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:20:10 AEST ]]> Validating self-report and proxy reports of the Dexamethasone Symptom Questionnaire -chronic for the evaluation of longer-term corticosteroid toxicity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24597 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:05:14 AEST ]]>
