Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

9.7K
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...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

617
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...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

910
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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.6K
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

53.3K
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.

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

7.6K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
Some...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Communication
  • Cancer Control

Background:

  • Video-based interventions are widely used for patient and public health education.
  • Empirical studies on video interventions for cancer prevention and control are well-documented.
  • A systematic review was conducted to analyze these interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review video-based interventions for cancer prevention and control.
  • To document study designs, settings, approaches, targeted cancer sites/behaviors, and outcomes.
  • To identify research and practice gaps in video-based cancer interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of PubMed, PsychINFO, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and Web of Science (1984-2014).
  • Analysis of 315 eligible articles, with data coded by three independent coders.
  • Descriptive frequencies and proportions calculated to summarize findings.

Main Results:

  • Studies on video interventions for cancer control have increased over time.
  • Randomized controlled trial designs were most common (54%), often in healthcare settings (39%).
  • Breast cancer detection and screening were most frequently targeted; caregiving and end-of-life topics were underrepresented. 69% reported success.

Conclusions:

  • Video interventions are established and successful tools in cancer prevention and control.
  • Future research should focus on innovative designs, new delivery platforms, and underrepresented cancer sites and topics.
  • Further investigation into diverse aspects of cancer care, such as palliative care, is warranted.
