Patient navigation is an intervention aimed at reducing barriers to health care for underserved populations as a means to reduce cancer health disparities. Despite the proliferation of patient navigation programs across the United States, information related to the economic impact and sustainability of these programs is lacking.

    Fifty-nine eligible patients were enrolled from 2004 to 2009; 78% were 10-18 years old. Twenty-two (38%) were previously untreated; 15 (41%) of the remaining 37 enrolling with recurrent DT had prior systemic chemotherapy and six (16%) had prior radiation. No life-threatening toxicity was reported. T...

    We prove that this Agreement is universal: any semiclassical evaluation within the accepted Procedures is equivalent to the evaluation within random matrix theory. The equivalence is shown by developing a combinatorial interpretation of the Trajectory sets as ribbon graphs (maps) with certain prop...

    We link optimal filtering for hidden Markov models to the notion of duality For Markov processes. We show that when the signal is dual to a process that Has two components, one deterministic and one a pure death process, and with Respect to functions that define changes of measure conjugate to the e...
