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.

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 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...

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

3.0K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

2.9K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

568
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Psychosocial Oncology
    • Qualitative Research

    Background:

    • The Renewing Life retreat, funded by Susan G. Komen, offered free intensive programs for low-income breast cancer survivors.
    • The program focuses on communication, coping strategies, and life-affirming attitudes to address life challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the perceived outcomes of the Renewing Life retreat for breast cancer survivors.
    • To explore changes in well-being and treatment management behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative (Self-Assessment of Change measure survey) and qualitative (follow-up interviews) data was employed.
    • The study captured the unique experiences of women participating in the retreat.

    Main Results:

    • The retreat positively impacted survivors' perceived well-being and quality of life.
    • Participants reported shifts in their experiences related to breast cancer treatment management.

    Conclusions:

    • The mixed-methods approach provided valuable insights into the subjective experiences of breast cancer survivors post-retreat.
    • The Renewing Life retreat demonstrated a positive effect on the psychosocial well-being of participants.
