Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Physician communication is crucial for relaying patient information throughout the care continuum.
  • Primary care physicians (PCPs) are increasingly involved in managing cancer survivorship and palliative care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the importance of physician communication in cancer care.
  • To highlight the role of PCPs in survivorship and palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on physician communication and PCP roles in oncology.

Main Results:

  • Survivorship care is a recognized component of the cancer journey, often managed by PCPs.
  • PCPs provide palliative care and symptom management for non-curable malignancies.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced physician communication is essential for optimal patient care during cancer treatment and follow-up.
  • The PCP's role in survivorship and palliative care necessitates improved inter-physician communication.
