Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

7.9K
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...

Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.1K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.4K
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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

12.9K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.3K
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.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

19
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Patient Care

Context:

  • Cancer is a leading cause of death, necessitating improved treatment outcomes and quality of life.
  • Precision oncology has advanced treatment, but patient well-being requires holistic care.
  • While rehabilitation is accepted, preparatory interventions before cancer treatment are gaining importance.

Purpose:

  • To introduce and describe the structure of an oncological prehabilitation program.
  • To highlight the expected benefits of prehabilitation for cancer patients.
  • To explore integrating prehabilitation into the continuum of cancer care.

Summary:

  • An oncological prehabilitation program was implemented as a preparatory treatment before oncological interventions.
  • The program focuses on enhancing patient quality of life and supporting successful cancer treatment.
  • Positive patient feedback and team morale indicate program effectiveness.

Impact:

  • Oncological prehabilitation represents a paradigm shift in cancer care, emphasizing proactive patient preparation.
  • Integrating prehabilitation can improve patient quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
  • The program's success suggests feasibility for implementation in oncology centers with existing resources.
