Cancer02:18

Cancer

54.6K
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.

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

What is Cancer?

14.5K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

280
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

270
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

1.1K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

    Summary

    Understanding how race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexual orientation impact cancer care is crucial. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals face unique challenges in cancer risk, access, and treatment due to intersecting identities.

    Area of Science:

    • Health disparities in oncology
    • Social determinants of cancer care
    • Intersectionality in patient experiences

    Background:

    • Cancer care must address the complex interplay of patient identities.
    • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals experience unique healthcare interactions.
    • Cultural humility is essential for equitable cancer care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore how intersecting identities (race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation) influence cancer risk.
    • To examine access to care and treatment for LGBT patients within an intersectional framework.
    • To highlight the role of cultural humility in oncology nursing.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of peer-reviewed literature.
    • Analysis of data from cancer organizations.
    • Consideration of clinical practice guidelines.

    Main Results:

    • Multiple patient identities create distinct healthcare experiences for LGBT individuals.
    • These experiences can lead to varied outcomes within the healthcare system.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand and address these outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Oncology nurses must recognize and respect diverse patient identities.
    • Implementing cultural humility is key to providing patient-centered cancer care.
    • Addressing intersectionality can improve care for LGBT patients and reduce health disparities.
