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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Radiotherapy is crucial for managing cancer symptoms like bone metastases and spinal cord compression.
  • Long waiting times for palliative radiotherapy can increase patient suffering and deter treatment seeking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a Rapid Response Palliative Radiotherapy Clinic in providing timely and efficient care.
  • To assess if the clinic improves treatment accessibility for patients requiring palliative radiotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Data from the first six months of the Rapid Response Clinic were compared to standard palliative radiotherapy clinics.
  • Patient treatment times and fractionation schedules were key metrics.

Main Results:

  • Patients in the Rapid Response Clinic were treated significantly faster, often within 24 hours of assessment.
  • A higher proportion of Rapid Response Clinic patients received single-fraction treatments, indicating efficient service delivery.

Conclusions:

  • The Rapid Response Palliative Radiotherapy Clinic successfully provides timely and convenient radiotherapy services for cancer patients.
  • This model serves as a valuable reference for establishing similar palliative radiotherapy services nationwide.
