Treatment Resistent Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistent Cancers

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
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...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against specific...

Summary

General practitioners (GPs) are increasingly involved in cancer care. This study investigated information needs for a shared electronic record system to improve communication between GPs and cancer specialists in Wales.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Informatics
  • Primary Care Medicine

Background:

  • Primary care oncology is an emerging discipline involving general practitioners (GPs) in all aspects of cancer patient care.
  • Effective communication and information sharing between GPs and cancer specialists are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
  • Current systems may not adequately support the collaborative needs of primary and secondary cancer care providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the essential information required for a shared electronic care record system.
  • To facilitate timely and effective information exchange between GPs and cancer specialists in Wales.
  • To propose a minimum dataset for a Welsh primary care cancer dataset.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative investigation into information requirements for a shared electronic care record.
  • Collaboration between academic computer science and a regional cancer centre.
  • Identification of key data elements for a primary care cancer dataset.

Main Results:

  • A potential minimum dataset for a Welsh primary care cancer dataset was identified.
  • Key challenges for implementation were identified, including information, technical, cultural/organizational, and management aspects.
  • The study highlights the need for a structured approach to developing shared care records in oncology.

Conclusions:

  • Developing a shared electronic care record system is vital for integrating primary care oncology.
  • Addressing implementation challenges is critical for the successful adoption of such systems.
  • The proposed minimum dataset can serve as a foundation for improving cancer care coordination in Wales.
