Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.3K
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

7.7K
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...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

174
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Oncology

Background:

  • India's aging population projects 340 million adults over 60 by 2050.
  • This demographic shift will increase the incidence of cancer in older adults.
  • Geriatric oncology in India faces significant challenges impacting patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze the challenges in geriatric oncology in India.
  • To explore potential solutions and future directions for the field.
  • To highlight the need for specialized care and research for older cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current challenges in geriatric oncology services in India.
  • Discussion of barriers to screening, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care.
  • Exploration of potential strategies including telemedicine, patient assistance, and integrated care.

Main Results:

  • Inadequate screening, late diagnoses, and lack of specialized services are key issues.
  • Financial, social, and logistical challenges significantly affect elderly cancer patients.
  • Limited trained professionals and awareness hinder effective geriatric oncology care.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing challenges requires increased investment in research, training, and palliative care.
  • Developing India-specific geriatric assessment tools and multidisciplinary approaches is crucial.
  • Establishing specialized geriatric oncology centers and integrating care are vital for progress.
