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 Therapies

7.6K
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...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

329
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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.5K
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...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

What is Cancer?02:12

What is Cancer?

10.5K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • The 2022 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade, removing federal abortion protections.
  • This ruling has significantly altered the healthcare landscape in America, with potential implications for various medical treatments.
  • The specific effects of the Dobbs decision on cancer care access have remained largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on the impact of the Dobbs decision on cancer treatment access in the United States.
  • To highlight the need for the oncology community to address potential disparities in women's cancer care.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review was conducted using databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Westlaw Campus Research, Nexis Uni, Google Scholar, and JSTOR.
  • Search terms encompassed cancer, specific drugs like Methotrexate, treatment access, delays, and legal/policy terms related to abortion and reproductive rights.
  • Thirty eligible articles published between 2001 and 2024 were selected and reviewed in full text.

Main Results:

  • The literature review identified a critical gap in understanding the post-Dobbs implications for cancer care.
  • Findings underscore the potential for disruptions in treatment access and increased delays for cancer patients.
  • The review highlights the intersection of reproductive rights policy and cancer treatment accessibility.

Conclusions:

  • There is an urgent need for the oncology community to recognize and address the potential impacts of the Dobbs decision on cancer care.
  • Collective action is required to ensure equitable access to cancer treatment for all women.
  • Further research is essential to quantify and mitigate any negative consequences on cancer patient care.
