• W3097705816 abstract "Purpose Radiation therapy is a valuable, yet time- and resource-intense therapy. Patients experiencing homelessness (PEH) face many barriers related to the timely receipt of radiation therapy. Owing to a paucity of data regarding cancer treatment and homelessness, clinicians have a limited evidence base when recommending therapy to PEH. This study was performed to evaluate adherence to radiation therapy treatment regimens in PEH with cancer. Methods and Materials The study cohort was primarily derived from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Homeless Health Services program. Patients in the Homeless Health Services program with radiation oncology visits were identified by query of the electronic medical record. Manual chart review was performed to gather standard treatment parameters and data describing missed appointments. A comparison group of patients not experiencing homelessness (non-PEH) was generated by aggregating appointment data for all other patients receiving similar treatments at Vanderbilt University Medical Center during multiple, consecutive years. Results In the study, 3408 PEH were identified, of whom 48 underwent radiation oncology consultation. Thirty-two were prescribed at least 1 course of radiation therapy, for a total of 54 unique courses. Out of these courses, 34 (62.9%) were completed as prescribed without delay, 12 (22.2%) were completed with delay(s), and 8 (14.8%) were not fully completed. Although the PEH cohort had significantly higher rates of delayed and undelivered fractions, the proportion of delayed or incomplete courses was not significantly different from the comparison group of non-PEH, particularly for courses with 10 or fewer fractions. Reasons for missed appointments for PEH were variable. Conclusions This is the first publication describing adherence to radiation therapy in PEH. Our data suggest that PEH are as likely as non-PEH to complete a course of radiation therapy, albeit with more treatment interruptions. When treatment courses of >10 fractions are expected, PEH may benefit from more hypofractionated regimens, provided they have equivalent clinical efficacy to longer regimens. Documenting reasons for missed appointments will be essential to further understanding the needs of PEH. This study serves as a foundation for further analysis regarding homelessness and radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is a valuable, yet time- and resource-intense therapy.
