SCI member Ruijiang Li & others found that the pathology foundation model accurately predicts survival outcomes in #GICancers and complements clinicopathologic factors, which may improve risk stratification and guide personalized adjuvant therapy. ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1... #AIhealth

Screening for Financial Toxicity and Health-Related Social Risks in Patients With Gl Cancer: Results From a Large Cancer Center PURPOSE Patients with GI cancers often face significant financial toxicity (FT) and health-related social risks (HRSRs), yet best practices for screening remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of FT and HRSR and identify associated factors. METHODS From June 2022 to August 2023, patients were screened using the Compre-hensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST), patient-reported HRSR (eg, housing, food insecurity), and quality of life (QOL). Multivariate regressions were used to assess predictors of FT and HRSR, adjusting for several variables. RESULTS Among 8,335 patients with GI cancer, 45% had a COST score of <26, indicating FT. In adjusted linear regression, FT was associated with racial/ethnic minority status (B, 4.20; P < .001), advanced disease (stage III (B, 1.33; P < .001); IV [B, 1.56; P < .001)), recent treatment (B, 3.23; P < .001), and anal (B, 1.97; P = .003), esophageal (B, 1.66; P = .005), or hepatobiliary cancer (B, 1.05; P = .031). Older age (≥65 years [B, -5.17; P < .001)), higher income ($100,000-$200,000 (B, -181; P < .001); >$200,000 [B, -3.80; P < .001)), and private insurance (B, -1.70; P < .001) were protective. Twenty-eight percent reported at least one HRSR. HRSRs were associated with minority status (odds ratio [OR], 2.14; P < .001), advanced disease (stage III [OR, 1.31; P = .001); IV[OR, 1.24; P = .010)), recent treatment (OR, 1.20; P = .001), and gastric cancer (OR, 1.25; P = .027). Lower HRSR was associated with older age (OR, 0.59; P < .001), higher income ($100,000-$200,000 (OR, 0.66; P < .001); >$200,000 (OR, 0.48; P < .001)), and private insurance (OR, 0.64; P < .001). Sex was not a predictor. Worst FT was associated with decreased QOL (B, -0.98; P < .001) and reduced medication adherence (B, 0.11; P < .001).
