Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

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...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

2.1K
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Cancer Therapies

10.5K
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...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

486
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Interventional oncologists increasingly utilize minimally invasive techniques.
  • Improving patient quality of life is a key goal in cancer care.
  • Many palliative procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss common palliative procedures performed by interventional oncologists.
  • To highlight the role of minimally invasive interventions in symptom management.
  • To provide an overview of treatments for intractable ascites, pleural effusions, and metastatic tumor complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common interventional oncology palliative procedures.
  • Discussion of techniques for managing ascites and pleural effusions.
  • Description of neurolytic plexus blocks for pain control.
  • Overview of interventions for bleeding associated with metastatic tumors.

Main Results:

  • Minimally invasive procedures significantly improve quality of life for cancer patients.
  • Outpatient palliative interventions are effective for managing complex symptoms.
  • Specific procedures address intractable fluid collections and cancer-related pain and bleeding.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional oncology offers vital minimally invasive options for palliative cancer care.
  • Effective management of symptoms like ascites, effusions, pain, and bleeding improves patient outcomes.
  • The role of interventional oncologists in palliative care is expanding and crucial.
