Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

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

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...
Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Education
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Integrative oncology (IO) programs are expanding in cancer care.
  • Limited research exists on IO training program design.
  • This study examines trainee perspectives in a national IO program in Israel.

  • To explore trainee experiences in a multidisciplinary IO training program.
  • To understand pre- and post-training expectations and outcomes.
  • To inform the design of future IO educational initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • A 110-hour IO training program combining online and in-person instruction.
  • Qualitative analysis of trainee narratives using ATLAS.Ti software.
  • Pre- and post-training questionnaires assessed expectations and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Pre-training: focus on enhancing communication skills with patients and professionals.
  • Post-training: themes of professional identity, multidisciplinary collaboration, practical IO competencies, and personal/professional growth.
  • 33 trainees provided post-training narratives.

Conclusions:

  • Trainee expectations centered on communication, while reflections highlighted professional development and IO integration into palliative care.
  • IO training facilitates the transition from theoretical knowledge to practical clinical application.
  • Further research is needed on long-term outcomes in symptom management and communication.
