Cancer Therapies02:49

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...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer02:18

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant 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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Informatics
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Established a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care via a statewide videoconferencing network.
  • This initiative represents the first reported statewide community cancer center videoconferencing network in the USA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a statewide videoconferencing network on cancer care delivery.
  • To assess adherence to clinical guidelines and clinical trials accrual.

Main Methods:

  • Four community hospitals in Delaware participated in a statewide videoconferencing network.
  • Weekly 60-min videoconferences facilitated discussion of treatment decisions and diagnostic procedures using shared pathology and radiology results.
  • Information technology enabled visualization and communication among all participating centers.

Main Results:

  • Prospectively presented all cancer cases.
  • Achieved 92% compliance with American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.
  • Increased accrual to National Cancer Institute (NCI) treatment and cancer control clinical trials.
  • Eliminated the need for travel for physicians and support personnel.

Conclusions:

  • The statewide videoconferencing network successfully enhanced cancer care delivery.
  • Demonstrated high compliance with established oncology guidelines (ASCO, NCCN).
  • Significantly improved accrual rates for NCI clinical trials.
