2 Disclosures Stock holdings Proctor and Gamble Abbvie Abbott Bristol Myers Squibb Pfizer

3 Topics Low dose CT screening for lung cancer Impact of colonoscopy on colorectal cancer incidence New agents for VTE Systems of care and BP targets for hypertension New lipid guidelines Treatment of depression and reduced mortality Alcohol screening Obesity treatment

4 Reduced Lung Cancer Mortality with Low Dose CT Screening 53,454 patients high risk for lung cancer Age Current or former smoker with 30 pack year history If former smoker, quit within 15 years Randomized to annual low dose CT or CXR x 3 Screening performed at specialized centers Radiation dose averaged 1.5 msv; Diagnostic CT averages 8mSv NEJM 2011;365:

5 Reduced Lung Cancer Mortality with Low Dose CT Screening Non-calcified nodules 4 mm classified as suspicious for lung cancer If nodule stable for three rounds classified as minor abnormalities rather than positive >27% CT scans classified as positive in T1, T2 16.8% CT scans classified as positive screen T3 39.1% of patients in CT group had at least 1 positive screen > 90% positive tests had further evaluation, mostly further imaging 96.4% positive CT results were false positives

6 T0 T1 T2 Total Positive tests (% pts screened) Imaging (% pos tests) Biopsy (% pos tests) 7,191 (27.3%) 6,901 (27.9%) 4,054 (16.8%) 18,146 5,717 (81.1%) 2520 (37.4%) 2009 (51.3%) 10, 246 (57.9) 155 (2.2%) 74 (1.1%) 93 (2.4%) 322 (1.8%) Bronchoscopy (% pos tests) 306 (4.3%) 178 (2.6%) 187 (4.8%) 671 (3.8%) Surgery (% pos tests) 297 (4.2%) 197 (2.9%) 219 (5.6%) 713 (4.0%)

7 Cumulative Numbers of Lung Cancers and of Deaths from Lung Cancer. Lung cancer mortality reduced 62/100,000 patient-years RR 20% NNS to prevent one Lung cancer death= 320 Total mortality RRR 6.7% The National Lung Screening Trial Research Team. N Engl J Med 2011;365:

8 Reduced Lung Cancer Mortality with Low Dose CT Screening Complication rates low and minor (overall 1.4%) 0.06% of patients without lung cancer 11.2% of patients with lung cancer Mortality for surgical resection of lung cancer 1%-2% NLST centers 4% national average NLST data included mediastinoscopy, thoracoscopy Generalizability of this trial dependent on equivalent performance Reporting essential

9 Targeting of Low-Dose CT Screening According to risk of Lung Cancer Death Post-hoc analysis of NLST Prediction model externally validated with patients from PLCO Trial Risk defined as 5 year risk for lung cancer Quintile 1 and % Quintile 3 thru %- > 2% NEJM 2013;369:245-54

10 Lung Cancer Risk Calculator

12 Quintile 5 yr risk of Lung CA Death # False Positives per Lung CA Death Prevented NNS

13 Low Dose CT for Lung Cancer Screening Reduces lung cancer mortality and total mortality Benefit related to baseline risk 88% of benefit preserved and 36% of false positives can be avoided by limiting screening to patients in top 3 risk quintiles A simple risk calculator can inform patients Smoking cessation should be part of screening programs Rate of false positives should be tracked Patients should only be referred to centers with benchmark performance

14 Long Term Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality After Colonoscopy Analysis of 88, 902 patients from the Nurses Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study Age at midpoint analysis ranged from year follow-up Biennial questionnaire queried if patients had colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or no screening NEJM 2013; 369:

15 Long Term Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality After Colonoscopy

16 Long Term Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality After Colonoscopy Polypectomy (n= 2740) Stage I or II Negative Colonoscopy (n= 7535) Stage III Stage IV 7 26

17 Long Term Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality After Colonoscopy Incidence rate of CRC reduced 58% in patients with a single negative colonoscopy Incidence rate of CRC is further reduced in patients with > 1 negative colonoscopy Reduction in incidence rate and mortality rate in patients with negative colonoscopy undergoing repeat surveillance exam is unknown and costly FIT would find many of these cancers at curable stage

18 In patients with VTE, are new anticoagulants more effective in preventing recurrence or reducing complications?

19 Oral Rivaroxaban for the Treatment of Symptomatic PE-EINSTEIN-PE 4832 patients with acute symptomatic PE randomized to rivaroxban 15 mg twice daily x 3 weeks followed by 20 mg once daily vs. LWMH plus warfarin Primary outcome was symptomatic recurrent VTE Primary safety outcome was major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding Major bleeding- HgB drop of 2 g/dl, transfusion of 2 or more units PRBC s or critical site NEJM 2012;366:

25 Considerations in Choosing Treatment for VTE Patient choice, cost considerations Patient selection- fewer patients with cancer, renal failure. DAPT, need for ASA > 165 mg excluded Potential drug interactions-inducers or inhibitors of P-glycoprotein, cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4 Compliance- recommend treatment contract Apixiban with short half life, Rivoroxaban is qd Continue follow-up/monitoring Post discharge calls, follow-up appointments
