Abstract
Importance Serum tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) have been useful in the management of gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers; however, there is limited information regarding their utility in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Objective To assess the association of serum tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9, and CA125) with clinical outcomes and pathologic and molecular features in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a retrospective cohort study at a single tertiary care comprehensive cancer center. The median (IQR) follow-up time was 52 (21-101) months. Software was used to query the MD Anderson internal patient database to identify patients with a diagnosis of appendiceal adenocarcinoma and at least 1 tumor marker measured at MD Anderson between March 2016 and May 2023. Data were analyzed from January to December 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures Association of serum tumor markers with survival in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were also performed to assess associations between clinical factors (serum tumor marker levels, demographics, and patient and disease characteristics) and patient outcomes (overall survival). Results A total of 1338 patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma were included, with a median (range) age at diagnosis of 56.5 (22.3-89.6) years. The majority of the patients had metastatic disease (1080 patients [80.7%]). CEA was elevated in 742 of the patients tested (56%), while CA19-9 and CA125 were elevated in 381 patients (34%) and 312 patients (27%), respectively. Individually, elevation of CEA, CA19-9, or CA125 were associated with worse 5-year survival; elevated vs normal was 81% vs 95% for CEA (hazard ratio [HR], 4.0; 95% CI, 2.9-5.6), 84% vs 92% for CA19-9 (HR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.4-3.4), and 69% vs 93% for CA125 (HR, 4.6; 95% CI, 2.7-7.8) (P < .001 for all). Quantitative evaluation of tumor markers was associated with outcomes. Patients with highly elevated (top 10th percentile) CEA, CA19-9, or CA125 had markedly worse survival, with 5-year survival rates of 59% for CEA (HR, 9.8; 95% CI, 5.3-18.0), 64% for CA19-9 (HR, 6.0; 95% CI, 3.0-11.7), and 57% for CA125 (HR, 7.6; 95% CI, 3.5-16.5) (P < .001 for all). Although metastatic tumors had higher levels of all tumor markers, when restricting survival analysis to 1080 patients with metastatic disease, elevated CEA, CA19-9, or CA125 were all still associated worse survival (HR for CEA, 3.4; 95% CI, 2.5-4.8; P < .001; HR for CA19-9, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.2-2.7; P = .002; and HR for CA125, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.4-6.4; P < .001). Interestingly, tumor grade was not associated with CEA or CA19-9 level, while CA-125 was slightly higher in high-grade tumors relative to low-grade tumors (mean value, 18.3 vs 15.0; difference, 3.3; 95% CI, 0.9-3.7; P < .001). Multivariable analysis identified an incremental increase in the risk of death with an increase in the number of elevated tumor markers, with an 11-fold increased risk of death in patients with all 3 tumor markers elevated relative to those with none elevated. Somatic mutations in KRAS and GNAS were associated with significantly higher levels of CEA and CA19-9. Conclusions and Relevance In this retrospective study of serum tumor markers in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma, CEA, CA19-9, and CA125 were associated with overall survival in appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Given their value, all 3 biomarkers should be included in the initial workup of patients with a diagnosis of appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) After decades of stagnation, the 8th edition TNM (TNM8) introduced a new T classification for head and neck (HN) soft tissue sarcomas (STS). New size cutoffs of 2 and 4 cm define T1-3, and a novel T4 category is defined by local invasion of adjoining structures. These size cutoffs had been chosen arbitrarily to advance data collection in this unique disease site since literature showed approximately 70% of HN STS did not reach the previous size threshold (5 cm) for the existing T1 category. The definition of the TNM8 T categories also align with mucosal HN cancers. No stage grouping for HN STS was defined since this new classification required more data collection to derive stage groups. This study aims to validate the TNM8 T classification and to propose stage groupings. MATERIALS/METHODS Clinical data of all adult (>16 years) HN STS patients treated from 1988 - 2019 with curative intent in our tertiary cancer center were retrieved from a prospective database, and supplemented with chart review. As per TNM8, cutaneous angiosarcoma, embryonal and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans were excluded due to their different behavior. Multivariate analysis (MVA) identified prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Adjusted hazard ratios (AHR) and recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) were used to derive stage groupings. Stage grouping performance for OS was assessed and also compared against the existing TNM8 groups for non-HN STS. RESULTS A total of 221 patients (N1: 2; M1: 2) were included. Of the 219 M0 patients, 63% were males; median tumor size was 3.0 cm (range: 0.3-14.0); the proportion of TNM8 T1-T4 were 35%, 34%, 26%, and 5%, respectively. Median follow up was 5.9 years. Five-year OS was 79%. MVA confirmed the prognostic value of T category (T4 HR 7.73, 95% CI 3.62-16.5) and grade (G2/3 vs G1 HR 3.7, 95% CI 1.82-7.53), in addition to age (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.04) (all p<0.001) for OS. AHR model derived T1-3_Grade 1 as stage 1; T1-3_Grade 2/3 as stage II; and T4_any Grade or any T_N1 as stage III (Table 1); the corresponding 5-year OS was 93%, 73%, and 38%, respectively. Both patients with M1 died within 1.5 years after diagnosis and M1 disease was designated stage IV. The AHR-grouping outperformed the RPA and non-HN TNM8 stage grouping for hazard consistency, hazard discrimination, percent variance explained, hazard difference, and sample size balance. CONCLUSION The novel T4 category introduced in TNM8 is associated with a >7 fold increased risk of death. Grade continues to be a critical prognostic factor in HN STS. The TNM8 HN STS T classifications have been validated, and the proposed new stage groupings with TNM8 incorporating grade have excellent performance for OS.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Evidence of prognostic importance of pre-radiotherapy (RT) total lymphocyte counts (TLC) and interaction with addition of cisplatin (CRT) in HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma (HPV+OPC) is conflicting. Recent data suggest patients with high TLC may not benefit from the addition of chemotherapy (Price et al, JCO 2022). We assess the prognostic and predictive value of TLC in a large single center HPV+OCP cohort. MATERIALS/METHODS All HPV+OPC patients treated at a single academic center with definitive RT/CRT between 2005-2018 were included. Pre-treatment TLC up to 6 weeks prior to RT start were considered. Multivariable analysis (MVA) was applied to assess the prognostic importance of TLC (continuous variable), adjusted for age, gender, performance status, TNM-8 stage, and smoking status in the CRT and RT subgroups. The actuarial rates of locoregional control (LRC), distant control (DC), and overall survival (OS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier and competing risk methods, stratified by low vs high TLC (determined using Contal and O'Quigley method for optimal cutoff). RESULTS Among 1153 eligible patients, 707 (61%) were treated with CRT. Median age was 59.7 (range 22.7-92.2) years. 526 patients were (46%) TNM-8 stage I, 366 (32%) stage II and 261 (23%) stage III. Median TLC was 1.6 x 109/L (range 0.1-8.5). Median follow-up was 5.5 years. On MVA, TLC was prognostic for patients receiving CRT (OS [adjusted hazard ration (aHR) 0.55 (0.38-0.79), p = 0.002], DC [aHR 0.57 (0.37-0.88), p = 0.011], LRC [aHR 0.57 (0.36-0.89), p = 0.014]) but not RT (OS [aHR 1.04 (0.82-1.31), p = 0.74], LRC [aHR 1.26 (0.86-1.85), p = 0.23], DC [aHR 0.87 (0.64-1.19), p = 0.4)]. The optimal TLC cut-off for OS with CRT was 1.9 x 109/L. Low vs high TLC patients receiving CRT had significantly inferior 5-year DC (87% vs 93%, p = 0.017) and OS (84% vs 90%, p = 0.026). The benefit of higher TLC was most evident in stage II disease (table 1). CRT vs RT improved OS for stage II/III disease at high and low TLC. CONCLUSION Pre-treatment TLC is prognostic in a large cohort of HPV+OPC patients receiving CRT but not RT alone. Further investigation of the interaction of cisplatin and immune response during RT is warranted. The omission of chemotherapy based on TLC is not supported.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Clinical behavior, natural history, and varied presentations of cutaneous angiosarcomas of the head and neck region (HN), in conjunction with its rarity, have rendered standardization of treatment elusive. We aimed to assess outcomes and patterns of failure for patients treated with surgery and radiation (Sx+RT), and radiation alone (RT). MATERIALS/METHODS A retrospective review of all HN angiosarcoma patients amenable for upfront Sx or RT in our institution between 2004-2018 was completed. Generally, treatment included Sx when feasible, and RT for large or extensive/ill-defined tumors. Demographic, tumor characteristics, local (LC), regional (RC), distant control (DC), and overall survival (OS), as well as patterns (in-field, marginal, out-of-field) of local failure at 5-year were estimated. Univariate analysis (UVA) was conducted to assess association with outcomes. RESULTS A total of 33 patients were eligible (14 Sx+RT and 19 RT). Tumor locations were: scalp (16, 48%). face (n = 12, 36%), and overlapping (5, 15%). Lesion types were: nodular (n = 23, 70%), flat (n = 4, 12%) and mixed (n = 6, 18%). Tumor size was larger in the RT group (median: 10.00 vs 2.85 cm, p<0.01). RT and Sx+RT patients had otherwise similar baseline characteristics: median age 74.3; male 70%; and ECOG performance status ≤1 85%. RT dose fractionations ranged from 50-70 Gy in 25-35 fractions in the RT group and 50-66 Gy in 25-33 fractions in the Sx+RT group. Four (12%) patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Median follow up was 5.5 years. Five-year LC, RC, DC, and OS for RT vs Sx+RT groups were 68% vs 85% (p = 0.28); 95% vs 86% (p = 0.89); 79% vs 86% (p = 0.39); and 45% vs 55% (p = 0.71), respectively. The in-field/marginal/out-of-field local failure rate at 5 years were 16% vs 7% (p = 0.46), 26% vs 15% (p = 0.41), and 13% vs 0% (p = 0.24) for the RT vs Sx+RT groups, respectively. UVA showed that scalp location and ulceration/bleeding were strong adverse features for OS. Bone invasion was significantly associated with lower DC (Table). Lesion type (nodular/flat/mixed), tumor size, and treatment type (Sx+RT vs RT), were not significantly associated with LC or pattern of local failure. CONCLUSION Scalp tumors, as compared to face, portended poorer prognosis, and ulceration/bleeding and bone invasion were associated with increased distant metastases. Sx+RT was the preferred treatment modality when possible and typically used for smaller and better defined tumors. RT was reserved for larger and extensive/ill-defined disease; despite this, in the IMRT era, RT achieves reasonable rates of control, markedly superior to historical series.

Abstract
Importance Serum tumor markers CEA, CA19-9, & CA125 have been useful in the management of gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers, however there is limited information regarding their utility in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Objective Assessing the association of serum tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9, and CA125) with clinical outcomes, pathologic, and molecular features in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Design This is a retrospective study with results reported in 2023. The median follow-up time was 43 months. Setting Single tertiary care comprehensive cancer center. Participants Under an approved Institutional Review Board protocol, the Palantir Foundry software system was used to query the MD Anderson internal patient database to identify patients with a diagnosis of appendiceal adenocarcinoma and at least one tumor marker measured at MD Anderson between 2016 and 2023. Results A total of 1,338 patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma were included, with a median age of 56.5 years. The majority of the patients had metastatic disease (80.7%). CEA was elevated in more than half of the patients tested (56%), while CA19-9 and CA125 were elevated in 34% and 27%, respectively. Individually, elevation of CEA, CA19-9, or CA125 were associated with worse 5-year survival; 82% vs 95%, 84% vs 92%, and 69% vs 93% elevated vs normal for CEA, CA19-9, and CA125 respectively (all p<0.0001). Quantitative evaluation of tumor markers increased prognostic ability. Patients with highly elevated (top 10th percentile) CEA, CA19-9 or CA125 had markedly worse survival with 5-year survival rates of 59%, 64%, and 57%, respectively (HR vs. normal : 9.8, 6.0, 7.6, all p<0.0001). Although metastatic tumors had higher levels of all tumor markers, when restricting survival analysis to 1080 patients with metastatic disease elevated CEA, CA19-9 or CA125 were all still associated worse survival (HR vs. normal : 3.4, 1.8, 3.9, p<0.0001 for CEA and CA125, p=0.0019 for CA19-9). Interestingly tumor grade was not associated with CEA or CA19-9 level, while CA-125 was slightly higher in high relative to low-grade tumors (18.3 vs. 15.0, p=0.0009). Multivariable analysis identified an incremental increase in the risk of death with an increase in the number of elevated tumor markers, with a 11-fold increased risk of death in patients with all three tumor markers elevated relative to those with none elevated. Mutation in KRAS and GNAS were associated with significantly higher levels of CEA and CA19-9. Conclusions These findings demonstrate the utility of measuring CEA, CA19-9, and CA125 in the management of appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Given their prognostic value, all three biomarkers should be included in the initial workup of patients diagnosed with appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
There is a lack of data focused on the specific coagulopathic derangements in COVID‐19 versus non‐COVID‐19 acutely ill cancer patients. Our objective was to characterize features of coagulopathy in cancer patients with active COVID‐19 illness who required hospitalization at MD Anderson in the Texas Medical Center and to correlate those features with thrombotic complications, critical illness, and mortality within the first 30 days after hospital admission for COVID‐19 illness. COVID‐19 and non‐COVID‐19 hospitalized cancer patients, with at least five consecutive measures of PT, PTT, d‐dimer, and CBC during the same period, were matched 1:1 to perform a retrospective analysis. We reviewed complete blood cell counts with differential, PT, PTT, fibrinogen, D‐Dimer, serum ferritin, IL‐6, CRP, and peripheral blood smears. Clinical outcomes were thrombosis, mechanical ventilation, critical illness, and death. Compared with matched hospitalized cancer patients without COVID‐19, we found elevated neutrophil and lower lymphocyte counts in those with critical illness ( p = 0.00) or death ( p = 0.00); only neutrophils correlated with thrombosis. COVID‐19 cancer patients with a platelet count decline during the hospital stay had more frequent critical illness ( p = 0.00) and fatal outcomes ( p = 0.00). Of the inflammatory markers, interleukin‐6 showed consistently higher levels in the COVID‐19 patients with poor outcomes. The findings of unique platelet changes and coagulopathy during severe COVID‐19 illness in the cancer population are of interest to explore disease mechanisms and future risk stratification strategies to help with the management of cancer patients with COVID‐19.

Abstract
Purpose Obesity adversely impacts outcomes during COVID-19 but its relation to mortality in those receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is uncertain. Methods A retrospective multicenter study was conducted. Adult patients (≥18 years old) with severe COVID-19 infection placed on ECMO between March 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021, across the United States were included. A web-based database application, REDCap, was utilized to capture clinical characteristics and outcomes. Patients were grouped into tertiles of body mass index (BMI). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality after ECMO placement assessed by a time-to-event analysis. Results Overall 444 patients (age 49, IQR: 38-57 years, 29% female, BMI: 33, IQR: 29-39 kg/m2) from 17 centers comprised the study cohort. Patients that expired during hospitalization had a similar BMI in comparison to those that were discharged (33, IQR: 29-38 vs. 34, IQR: 30-40 kg/m2, p=0.13). BMI across groups was 27, IQR: 25-29 (lowest tertile), 33, IQR: 32-34 (middle tertile), 41, IQR: 38-45 kg/m2 (highest tertile). At 90 days, in-hospital mortality between BMI tertiles was 53%, 59%, and 53%, p=0.99 (figure). After adjustment for clinical covariates including age, sex, presence of preexisting co-morbidities, cardiopulmonary arrest prior to ECMO, serum creatinine and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) to inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) ratio, there was no difference in hospital mortality in the middle (aHR:1.13, CI: 0.79-1.63, p=0.5) and highest (aHR: 1.38, CI: 0.95-2.01, p=0.09) tertiles in comparison to the lowest BMI tertile. Conclusion Severity of obesity is not associated with death during hospitalization in patients placed on ECMO for COVID-19

Abstract
Background Cancer-related fatigue, mood disturbances, pain and cognitive disturbance are common after adjuvant cancer therapy, but vary considerably between individuals despite common disease features and treatment exposures. A genetic basis for this variability was explored in a prospective cohort. Methods Physical and psychological health of women were assessed prospectively following therapy for early stage breast cancer with self-report questionnaires. Participation in a genetic association sub-study was offered. Indices for the key symptom domains of fatigue, pain, depression, anxiety, and neurocognitive difficulties were empirically derived by principal components analysis from end-treatment questionnaires, and then applied longitudinally. Genetic associations were sought with functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine genes - tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α (−308 GG), interferon (IFN)-ɣ (+874 TA), interleukin (IL)-10 (1082 GA and −592 CA), IL-6 (−174 GC), IL-1β (−511 GA). Results Questionnaire data was available for 210 participants, of whom 111 participated in the genetic sub-study. As expected, symptom domain scores generally improved over several months following treatment completion. Tumour and adjuvant treatment related factors were unassociated with either severity or duration of the individual symptom domains, but severity of symptoms at end-treatment was strongly associated with duration for each domain (all p < 0.05). In multivariable analyses, risk genotypes were independently associated with: fatigue with IL-6 -174 GG/GC and IL-10 -1082 GG; depression and anxiety with IL-10 -1082 AA; neurocognitive disturbance: TNF-α −308 GG; depression IL-1β (all p < 0.05). The identified SNPs also had cumulative effects in prolonging the time to recovery from the associated symptom domain. Conclusions Genetic factors contribute to the severity and duration of common symptom domains after cancer therapy. Common symptoms following breast cancer treatment can be grouped into symptom domains. Symptom domains are useful to describe patterns and trajectories of symptoms following breast cancer treatment. Cytokine gene polymorphisms are associated with the severity and duration of symptom domains following cancer treatment. The symptom severity at final treatment predicts the duration of symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is reported to affect up to 70 % of cancer survivors. Despite evidence that CIPN-related impairments often translate into balance and mobility deficits, the effects on stepping and quality of gait, well-documented risk factors for falls, are unclear. AIMS (i) Establish choice-stepping reaction time (CSRT) performance in survivors with CIPN compared to young and older healthy controls and people with Parkinson's disease; (ii) document walking stability; (iii) investigate relationships between stepping and gait data to objective and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS 41 cancer survivors with CIPN (mean (SD) age: 60.8 (9.7) years) who were ≥3months post chemotherapy, performed tests of simple and inhibitory CSRT. Walking stability measures were derived from 3-D accelerometry data during the 6-minute walk test. CIPN was assessed using neurological grading and patient-reported outcome measures (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire in CIPN Questionnaire scale EORTC CIPN20). RESULTS In both stepping tests, CIPN participants performed at the level of adults aged 10 years older and people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. Mean (SD) total stepping response times in both CSRT (1160 (190) milliseconds) and inhibitory CSRT (1191 (164) milliseconds) tests were not associated with objective neurological grading but were correlated with increased difficulty feeling the ground. Participants with lower-limb vibration sensation deficit had slower and more variable CSRT times. There were no associations between walking stability and objective measures of CIPN, and limited correlations with the EORTC-CIPN20. CONCLUSIONS Cancer survivors with CIPN showed deficits in voluntary stepping responses and seemed to compensate for their sensory and motor deficits by walking slower to maintain stability. Objective and patient-reported outcomes of CIPN were correlated with slower and more variable stepping response times. Future studies should aim to identify the causes of the apparent premature decline in cognitive-motor function and develop remediating interventions.

Abstract
AIMS In the current eighth edition head and neck TNM staging, extranodal extension (ENE) is an adverse feature in oral cavity squamous cell cancer (OSCC). The previous seventh edition N1 with ENE is now staged as N2a. Seventh edition N2+ with ENE is staged as N3b in the eighth edition. We evaluated its potential impact on patients treated with surgery and postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS OSCC patients treated with primary surgery and adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy between January 2005 and December 2014 were reviewed. Cohorts with pathological node-negative (pN-), pathological node-positive without ENE (pN+_pENE-) and pathological node-positive with ENE (pN+_pENE+) diseases were compared for local control, regional control, distant control and overall survival. The pN+ cohorts were further stratified into seventh edition N-staging subgroups for outcomes comparison. RESULTS In total, 478 patients were evaluated: 173 pN-; 159 pN+_pENE-; 146 pN+_pENE+. Outcomes at 5 years were: local control was identical (78%) in all cohorts (P = 0.892), whereas regional control was 91%, 80% and 68%, respectively (P < 0.001). Distant control was 97%, 87%, 68% (P < 0.001) and overall survival was 75%, 53% and 39% (P < 0.001), respectively. Overall survival for N1 and N2a subgroups was not significantly different. In the seventh edition N2b subgroup of pENE- (n = 79) and pENE+ (n = 79) cohorts, overall survival was 67% and 37%, respectively. In the seventh edition N2c subgroups, overall survival for pENE- (n = 17) and pENE+ (n = 38) cohorts was 65% and 35% (P = 0.08), respectively. Overall, an additional 128 patients (42% pN+) were upstaged as N3b. CONCLUSIONS When eighth edition staging was applied, stage migration across the N2-3 categories resulted in expected larger separations of overall survival by stage. Patients treated with primary radiation without surgical staging should have outcomes carefully monitored. Strategies to predict ENE preoperatively and trials to improve the outcomes of pENE+ patients should be explored.

Abstract
The effectiveness of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in improving outcomes remains debatable for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients with pathological intermediate-risk factors (IRFs) after surgery. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 432 intermediate-risk OSCC patients defined by histological reporting of close margin (<5mm), early nodal disease (pN1), depth of invasion/tumour thickness ≥5mm, perineural invasion, and/or lymphovascular invasion. Outcomes measured were disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS). PORT was associated with an improvement in 5-year DFS on univariable analysis (80% vs 71%; P=0.044), but this did not remain significant on multivariable analysis. PORT was not associated with differences in DSS or OS. The surgical salvage rate was similar in the PORT and surgery-only groups (41% vs 47%; P=0.972). Perineural invasion was found to be an independent predictor of inferior DSS (hazard ratio (HR) 2.19), DFS (HR 1.89), and OS (HR 1.97). Significantly worse outcomes were observed for patients with ≥4 concurrent IRFs. The application of PORT was associated with lower rates of recurrence, but the benefit was less apparent on mortality. Patients with perineural invasion and multiple concurrent IRFs were found to be at greatest risk, representing a subset of intermediate-risk OSCC patients who may benefit from PORT.

Abstract
Background Quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis maximizes treatment-related effects, improves prognosis, and enhances quality of life. However, smoking cessation (sc) services are not routinely integrated into cancer care. The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre implemented a digitally-based sc program in oncology, leveraging an e-referral system (cease) to screen all new ambulatory patients, provide tailored education and advice on quitting, and facilitate referrals. Methods We adopted the Framework for Managing eHealth Change to guide implementation of the sc program by integrating 6 key elements: governance and leadership, stakeholder engagement, communication, workflow analysis and integration, monitoring and evaluation, and training and education. Results Incorporating elements of the Framework, we used extensive stakeholder engagement and strategic partnerships to establish a sc program with organizational and provincial accountability. Existing electronic patient-reported assessments were changed to integrate cease. Clinic audits and staff engagement allowed for analysis of workflow, ongoing monitoring and evaluation that aided in establishing a communication strategy, and development of cancer-specific education for patients and health care providers. From April 2016 to March 2018, 22,137 new patients were eligible for screening. Among those new patients, 13,617 (62%) were screened, with 1382 (10%) being current smokers and 532 (4%) having recently quit (within 6 months). Of the current smokers and those who had recently quit, all were advised to quit or to stay smoke-free, and 380 (20%) accepted referral to a sc counselling service. Conclusions Here, we provide a comprehensive practice blueprint for the implementation of digitally based sc programs as a standard of care within comprehensive cancer centres with high patient volumes.
