Breast cancer survivorship

Abstract:
Most individuals diagnosed with breast cancer will experience long-term survival. Following initial active treatment for breast cancer, survivors may experience a variety of medical, physical, and psychosocial consequences that may affect overall health and wellbeing. Clinicians providing care for breast cancer survivors should be comfortable addressing long-term effects of cancer and its treatment, including cardiovascular toxicity, sequelae of estrogen deficiency, chronic pain, fatigue, cognitive concerns, sleep issues, and psychosocial concerns. In addition, providers should promote health maintaining behaviors including healthy lifestyle, treatment adherence, and appropriate surveillance. Survivorship care should be individualized based on treatment received with regular assessment of active symptoms and comorbidities.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer Therapies
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...
