Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

823
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.9K
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 Prevention

8.7K
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.

Cancer Therapies

10.6K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The Wellness Beyond Cancer Program (wbcp) improved cancer survivorship care by standardizing discharge. Patients and primary care providers (pcps) were satisfied, though communication with pcps needs enhancement.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Established in 2012, the Wellness Beyond Cancer Program (wbcp) aimed to standardize and streamline cancer care discharge.
  • Initially serving colorectal cancer (crc) and later breast cancer (bca) patients, the program integrated survivorship care plans (scps) and education.
  • The wbcp facilitates patient discharge to nurse practitioners or primary care providers (pcps) and includes a rapid recurrence re-entry system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the development process of an institutional cancer survivorship program.
  • To present preliminary evaluation findings of the Wellness Beyond Cancer Program (wbcp).

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative surveys were distributed to patients and pcps one year post-referral to the wbcp.
  • Surveys assessed patient and provider satisfaction, knowledge of program content, and adherence to survivorship care plan (scp) recommendations.
  • Responses were scored on a 5-point Likert scale, measuring agreement with various statements.

Main Results:

  • Between March 2012 and November 2014, 2630 patients (809 crc, 1821 bca) were referred to the wbcp.
  • Survey responses were received from 289 patients and 412 pcps.
  • Both patients and pcps reported high satisfaction (average score of 4) with program content, while pcps indicated lower satisfaction with communication from the wbcp.

Conclusions:

  • The wbcp successfully standardized the discharge process for colorectal cancer (crc) and breast cancer (bca) patients.
  • Patients and pcps expressed satisfaction with the program's content one year after discharge.
  • Opportunities exist to enhance communication and the provision of cancer-specific information to primary care providers (pcps).
