Continuing Care

1.6K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Cancer Survival Analysis

491
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

8.9K
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
  • Palliative Care
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Specialty palliative care is recommended alongside oncology care due to proven benefits.
  • Limited availability of palliative care specialists necessitates oncologists providing primary palliative care.
  • Primary palliative care involves symptom assessment/management and communication skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the benefits of integrating palliative care into oncologic practice.
  • To offer clinical pearls for delivering palliative care in outpatient and inpatient settings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of randomized trials and clinical practice guidelines.
  • Focus on two key skill sets: symptom assessment/management and communication.
  • Emphasis on standardized symptom assessment scales and shared decision-making.

Main Results:

  • Palliative care improves symptom control, reduces depression/anxiety, and enhances quality of life for patients and caregivers.
  • Early integration (≥3 months before death) maximizes benefits on quality of life and end-of-life choices.
  • Oncologists play a crucial role in delivering primary palliative care.

Conclusions:

  • Incorporating palliative care into routine oncology improves patient outcomes and quality of life.
  • Effective primary palliative care requires robust symptom management and communication strategies.
  • Oncologists are essential in providing comprehensive palliative care to cancer patients.
