Cancer Therapies

8.6K
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.8K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.1K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

2.7K
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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative oncology
  • Complementary therapies
  • Cancer survivorship care

Background:

  • Growing evidence supports yoga's benefits for cancer-related side effects.
  • A gap exists between research findings and practical, sustainable yoga programs for survivors.
  • Need for evidence-informed approaches in cancer care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of yoga and cancer research.
  • To present a framework for developing and implementing yoga programs for cancer patients.
  • To share a case study of a successful community-based yoga program.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of yoga and cancer research.
  • Development of a conceptual framework for program implementation.
  • Description of a community-based yoga program model.

Main Results:

  • Yoga interventions can positively impact psychosocial and physical symptoms in cancer survivors.
  • A structured framework facilitates the translation of research into practice.
  • Community-based programs can be effective in delivering yoga to this population.

Conclusions:

  • Continued research and knowledge translation are crucial for integrating yoga into oncology care.
  • Evidence-informed yoga programming can enhance cancer survivorship.
  • The framework and example provided can guide future program development.
