Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

601
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

3.6K
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 Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

7.5K
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.

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 Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance02:40

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance

5.8K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Cancer Survivorship
  • Quality of Life Research

Background:

  • Increasing numbers of patients are living longer with recurrent breast cancer.
  • Existing survivorship programs for this population are insufficient.
  • There is a need for tailored support to address the unique challenges faced by these survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a survivorship program for individuals diagnosed with recurrent breast cancer.
  • To enhance the quality of life (QOL) for breast cancer survivors.
  • To assess patient satisfaction with the newly implemented survivorship program.

Main Methods:

  • Survivors received a one-hour coaching intervention, personalized using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) survey results.
  • Patient satisfaction was evaluated immediately and two weeks after the intervention.
  • Quality of life (QOL) scores were compared before and two weeks post-intervention using a paired t test.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements in QOL were observed across all FACT-B survey subscales (p = 0.000).
  • Patient satisfaction was high immediately following the intervention.
  • High patient satisfaction was sustained at the two-week follow-up assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented survivorship program effectively improved QOL for recurrent breast cancer patients.
  • The program demonstrated high patient satisfaction, suggesting its value and feasibility.
  • This model of care can enhance survivorship experiences for individuals with recurrent breast cancer.
