Declarations
:
: SKMCH&RC’s Institutional Review Board (IRB), officially known as the ‘Institutional Review Board, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre,’ waived informed consent requirements as stated in the letter EX-18–01-23–01. This research study did not involve an experiment. Individual patient consent was not obtained for this study, as a retrospective review of the records was conducted, results were collated, and anonymised results were presented in the manuscript. It was not deemed appropriate to attempt to contact the patients to tell them about the study retrospectively.The same IRB, titled ‘Institutional Review Board, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre,’ granted exempt status to the study (reference number EX-18–01-23–01). The study was given exempt status and informed consent was waived in the same letter. The IRB is registered with the OHRP as ‘IRB00005898-Shaukat Khanum Mem Cancer Hosp & Rsch Centre IRB #1-SKMCH & RC’.
