Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.7K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

650
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.3K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.9K
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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.6K
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

2.9K
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...

Summary

Patient satisfaction and quality of life (QoL) are crucial in non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) care. Factors like preoperative QoL and provider interactions significantly impact patient satisfaction and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common cancer globally, with increasing incidence.
  • Postoperative patient satisfaction and quality of life (QoL) are vital metrics but understudied in NMSC care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes post-NMSC treatment.
  • To identify determinants of patient satisfaction in non-melanoma skin cancer management.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library up to December 1, 2023.
  • Inclusion of 20 studies examining patient satisfaction, QoL, or both.
  • Utilized tools like the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire and Skin Cancer Index.

Main Results:

  • Factors influencing patient satisfaction include preoperative QoL and provider interpersonal skills.
  • QoL outcomes are often linked to satisfaction and affected by age, mental health, and tumor location.
  • Multiple controllable and non-controllable factors impact both satisfaction and QoL.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians must integrate patient perspectives into NMSC treatment effectiveness evaluations.
  • Understanding factors influencing patient satisfaction and QoL is essential for comprehensive NMSC patient care.
