Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

807
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 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...

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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

9.0K
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...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.3K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Cancer

55.2K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology Education
  • Medical Training
  • E-learning

Background:

  • E-learning is established in oncology training but lacks long-term assessments.
  • This study analyzes nationwide data from 2005-2014 on oncology e-learning programs.
  • Programs covered chemotherapy, general oncology, pain management, palliative care, psycho-social-oncology, and radiotherapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide descriptive, nationwide data on oncology e-learning programs.
  • To assess the structural management and didactic value of these programs over a decade.
  • To examine trainee feedback on the self-perceived didactic value.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed nationwide e-learning oncology program data from 2005-2014.
  • Analyzed trainee demographics: medical doctors, registered nurses, radiation therapy technologists, and social and health care assistants.
  • Examined self-reported didactic value questionnaires from 2008-2014.

Main Results:

  • 4693 trainees participated in 29 program classifications with 731 presentations.
  • The overall drop-out rate was 10.6%, with registered nurses showing the lowest rate (4.3%).
  • 68.6% of responders rated programs as excellent, and 30.6% as good, with high ratings across professions.

Conclusions:

  • Oncology e-learning programs are well-received across professions.
  • The study provides extensive data on multi-professional oncology e-learning over a long timeframe.
  • Further studies are needed to benchmark e-learning against traditional methods for didactic value.
