My experience with the Cancer Survival Toolbox

Abstract:
Nurses are instrumental in educating patients and their families about how to navigate the cancer experience. Patients often state that they would not know much about their disease and treatment if not for their nurse's teaching. The Cancer Survival Toolbox, a comprehensive set of audiotapes, is a free resource that helps people dealing with cancer develop and use key coping skills--communicating, finding information, making decisions, solving problems, negotiating, and standing up for their rights. Supplemental modules deal with issues facing the underinsured and uninsured, barriers to care for older cancer survivors, and concerns of caregivers. The Cancer Survival Toolbox Group Facilitator's Training Manual is a valuable resource for anyone working with cancer support groups. All healthcare professionals, cancer survivors, and lay caregivers can use the toolbox in a variety of ways. This article offers suggestions about how to ensure that cancer survivors and caregivers have the opportunity to use this unique resource.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
