Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

456
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...

Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

1.3K
Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.1K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

1.7K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Cancer Therapies

8.0K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Services Research
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Cancer treatment incurs substantial financial burdens, leading to depleted savings, bankruptcy, and housing loss for nearly half of patients within two years.
  • Financial toxicity is a critical issue in oncology, necessitating innovative solutions to support patients.
  • Understanding patient-specific needs is crucial for effective financial and non-financial assistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the financial and non-financial needs of a diverse cancer patient cohort.
  • To examine patient-specific factors correlating with unique needs.
  • To evaluate a novel patient-driven portal for needs assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective evaluation of 223 oncology patients enrolled in the 'We're in This Together' (WiTT) Support Registry™.
  • Data collected from two tertiary care cancer centers between January 2023 and December 2023.
  • Analysis of assistance requests across Daily Life, Housing, Health, and Transportation domains, including Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) data.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients (54% Hispanic, 65% female, 49% aged 41-60) utilized the portal.
  • 2,411 assistance requests were made, averaging 10.8 per patient within 12 months.
  • Financial needs constituted 95% of requests, with Housing (33%) and Daily Life (31%) being the most prominent domains. Total financial asks exceeded $1.3 million, averaging $5,921 per patient.

Conclusions:

  • A patient-driven portal can facilitate customized resource allocation based on self-reported needs.
  • Further research is needed to predict needs based on patient characteristics.
  • Developing targeted solutions is essential to address current gaps in patient support.
