: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: The database used for this research, named CancerMPact, does not collect or use patient-level data, or any data involving people, medical records, or human samples. The researchers did not review patient charts, survey patients, or interact with patients in any way. All information is retrieved from online physician surveys regarding information around overall treatment patterns. The online survey was programmed, fielded, and hosted by an outside company and the researchers received only anonymized raw data which were securely transferred. The research was conducted in the United States and was subject to regulations put forth by the United States Department of Health and Human Services/Office for Human Research Protections. According to exemption criteria outlined in Subpart A of 45 CFR Part 46: Basic HHS Policy for Protection of Human Subjects, research that only includes survey procedures is exempt if the data are recorded in such a way that the identity of the human subjects cannot be readily ascertained, either directly or through identifiers linked to the subjects. As the survey data in this research was anonymized, no Institutional Review Board approval or informed consent was necessary.
: As the survey data in this research did not collect or use patient-level data, or any data involving people, medical records, or human samples, informed consent was not necessary.
: As the survey data in this research did not collect or use patient-level data, or any data involving people, medical records, or human samples, consent to publish was not necessary.
