Abstract
Purpose of the review: Despite advances in surgical procedures, cancer recurrence still affects a substantial proportion of patients for whom surgery is considered a curative therapy. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of RIOT, addressing its definition, influencing factors, and clinical implications.
Findings: RIOT can be defined as a continuous variable as the time from surgery to initiation of adjuvant therapies or categorically as whether patients can successfully receive adjuvant therapies or not. Factors influencing RIOT are age, sex, socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, physical performance and comorbidities, and quality of anesthesia and surgical care. Adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy are often administered to reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery and improve survival. Return to intended oncologic therapy (RIOT) has emerged as a promising outcome metric reflecting patients' functional recovery after surgery and their ability to receive adjuvant therapies.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
