e20506 Background: An essential component of cancer survivorship care includes the prevention and early detection of new cancers. We sought to determine if documentation of appropriate cervical and/or colon cancer screening differed between BrCa survivors followed in our BC (patients < 5 yrs from diagnosis of invasive BrCa or with active BrCa issues) and those seen in our SvC (patients with history of DCIS or ≥ 5 yrs from invasive BrCa diagnosis). Methods: IRB approval was obtained for this retrospective study. 5,982 BrCa survivors were seen for follow-up in our BC or SvC between 7/1/05 and 12/31/06. 2,811 BC patients and 1191 SvC patients (total = 4,002) met inclusion criteria: 1) not receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or undergoing surgical evaluation; 2) no evidence of recurrent BrCa; 3) ≥ 12 months from BrCa diagnosis, 4) no active GYN or GI complaints. Results: BrCa survivors followed our SvC were significantly more likely to have provider documentation of both cervical and colon cancer screening than those followed in our BC (72% versus 22.7%, and 68.4% versus 14.5%, respectively; both p values <0.001). Although nursing documentation of cervical cancer screening is required in both centers, SvC patients were more likely to have this documented than those in the BC (95.3% versus 56.5%, respectively; p <0.001). Nursing documentation of colon cancer screening is required in SvC (84.2% documented) but not in the BC (3.5% documented). Conclusions: BrCa survivors receiving care in our survivorship clinic were more likely to have nursing or provider documentation of cervical and/or colon cancer screening. Strategies that trigger documentation of non-BrCa screening take advantage of the “teachable moment” during a routine visit- thereby promoting the long-term health of cancer survivors.

The libary of John H. Wrenn, acquired by The University of Texas, contains an editio princeps which would seem to be of some importance to students of the history of French literature. The work in question is listed in the Catalogue of the Wrenn library, as follows:Chateaubriand, Vicomte de: Maison de France, ou Recueil de Pièces Relatives à la Légitimité et à la Famille Royale.

Purpose Other malignancies have been reported to occur with increased frequency in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, outcomes, and factors associated with other cancers in patients with CLL/SLL. Patients and Methods We reviewed the records of consecutive patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL seen at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center from 1985 to 2005. The number of second cancers observed was compared with the number expected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Results Among 2,028 patients, 324 (16%) had a history of other cancers and 227 (11.2%) developed other malignancies during the follow-up period. Overall, 625 cancers were observed in 551 patients, including skin (30%), prostate (13%), breast (9%), melanoma (8%), lymphoma (8%), gastrointestinal (9%), lung (6%), and other cancers (17%). The risk of a second cancer was 2.2 times higher than the expected risk. The response rates in patients with and without a history of other cancers were 86% and 92%, respectively (P = .04), and the 5-year survival rates were 70% and 82%, respectively (P < .001). In Cox analysis, independent factors predicting development of new cancers were older age, male sex, and elevated levels of β2-microglobulin, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatinine. In patients who were treated for CLL/SLL, the treatment regimen did not affect the risk of subsequent cancer (P = .49). Conclusion Patients with CLL/SLL have more than twice the risk of developing a second cancer and an increased frequency of certain cancer types. Awareness of risk factors could permit early detection.

Weekly Therapy

Anne Sexton Met Her Psychiatrist, Martin Orne, in 1956, After Her Second Suicide Attempt. They Started Recording Their twice- (sometimes thrice-)weekly therapy sessions in early 1961, continuing until 1964, and Orne advised Sexton to listen to these recordings and write down her responses while listening and later relistening to them. Several hundred recordings of these therapy sessions have survived and reside in the Sexton collection at the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and Sexton's responses have been preserved in four handwritten and typed journals, dating from January 1961 to August 1964, held at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin. Arguably, playing the sessions back to herself shaped Sexton's memories, her evolving understanding of her past, and her sense of identity. The extant ensemble of texts, comprising the audio recordings, typed and handwritten journal entries, and poetry, illustrate how playback influenced this evolution.
