Pneumonia contributed to nearly 3 million deaths worldwide in 2016 and 56,000 deaths in the United States alone in 2017, and as such, it is imperative for physicians to understand the causes, subtypes, associated risk factors and treatment options. This article will address each of these, as well as special consideration for the osteopathic approach to care.

Genitourinary Cancers

Since the introduction of widespread prostate cancer screening in the United States in the early 1990s, the incidence of prostate cancer has increased substantially. After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men. In the prostate cancer-screening era, the majority of newly diagnosed cases are localized (i.e., tumor is confined to the prostate gland). Therefore, most patients have the opportunity for curative therapy. Yet, the benefits of population-wide screening and optimal treatment remain controversial. This section reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, and screening of prostate cancer, as well as treatment options at different stages of disease.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality among cancer survivors, but whether survivors receive routine cardiovascular monitoring and preventive care has not been well studied. This study uses a population-based dataset to examine this question. Methods Data from the National Health Interview Survey were used to identify 13 266 cancer survivors who completed surveys from 2011 to 2015. Prevalence of CVD and associated risk factors, patterns of doctor visitation, and receipt of CVD preventive care were examined. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to examine factors associated with the receipt of preventive care for survivors with and without CVD risk factors. Results CVD risk factors were prevalent in older cancer survivors 65 years and older (56.9% with hyperlipidemia, 66.8% with hypertension) and younger survivors younger than 50 years (35.4% obese, 30.3% current smokers). Rates of blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose monitoring were high, but rates of lifestyle modification were lower (54.8% moderate exercise, 47.1% smoking cessation attempts among smokers). Although 71.5% of survivors at 2 years or less from diagnosis saw both general and specialist doctors, only 51.6% of survivors at 5 or more years saw both, and 43.5% saw only a general doctor. On multivariable analysis, receipt of CVD preventive care was strongly associated with general doctor visitation for those with and without CVD risk factors. Conclusions CVD and associated risk factors are prevalent among both older and younger cancer survivors across the United States. This study identifies areas for improvement related to lifestyle modification in survivors, and also highlights the importance of care transition to the primary care provider for long-term survivors.
