Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.1K
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...

Cancer Survival Analysis

533
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 Therapies

9.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Occupational Health
  • Sociomedical Sciences

Background:

  • Prostate cancer is a leading diagnosis in North American men.
  • Treatment side-effects can negatively affect work capacity and financial stability.
  • Understanding prostate cancer's impact on men's work lives is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize research on prostate cancer treatment's effects on men's work.
  • To identify themes related to work outcomes, return-to-work factors, and financial impacts.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review of peer-reviewed articles (2006-2020).
  • Searched electronic databases for relevant studies.
  • Analyzed 21 articles meeting inclusion criteria.

Main Results:

  • Return to work post-treatment may be slower than anticipated.
  • Financial stressors and masculine norms can pressure men to return to work.
  • Older age and social benefits influence work plans.

Conclusions:

  • Prostate cancer treatment presents significant challenges to men's work resumption.
  • Findings inform future research and clinical guidance for supporting working men.
  • Clinicians can better address the multifaceted work-related issues faced by prostate cancer survivors.
