The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

48.2K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

10.2K
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 Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.9K
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...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.7K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Psychosocial Oncology
  • Complementary and Integrative Therapies

Background:

  • Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) is increasingly explored as a supportive intervention for individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
  • Existing research predominantly focuses on women with breast cancer, limiting generalizability to other cancer populations.
  • There is a need to critically evaluate the current state of DMT research in oncology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of dance/movement therapy (DMT) research involving individuals with cancer.
  • To identify and discuss the challenges encountered by researchers in this field.
  • To propose future research priorities and foci for advancing DMT in cancer care.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of English-language studies on DMT and cancer.
  • Qualitative synthesis of existing research findings.
  • Analysis of methodological challenges and limitations in current studies.

Main Results:

  • The majority of published DMT research in cancer focuses on breast cancer patients.
  • Significant challenges exist in DMT research methodology, participant recruitment, and outcome measurement.
  • Gaps in the literature include studies on diverse cancer types and robust process evaluations.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to expand DMT applications beyond breast cancer.
  • Future studies should prioritize qualitative syntheses, implementation science, and formal process evaluations.
  • Integrating diverse research methodologies will strengthen the evidence base for DMT in oncology.
