Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

626
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...

Cancer Therapies

9.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Geriatrics
  • Clinical Nutrition

Background:

  • Physical performance, malnutrition, and sarcopenia screening are recommended for hematological-oncological patients.
  • Current clinical practice faces challenges in routine implementation due to economic constraints and numerous testing options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a practical, time-efficient compromise for routine malnutrition and sarcopenia testing in cancer patients.
  • To reduce the time and resources required for diagnostic assessments.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, monocentric cohort study involving 29 cancer patients.
  • Investigated time for malnutrition screening (PG-SGA long form), diagnostics (GLIM), and sarcopenia diagnostics (EWGSOP II).
  • Utilized correlation analyses to identify and reduce redundant tests.

Main Results:

  • Identified high prevalence of malnutrition (55.2%) and sarcopenia risk (20.7%) in the cohort.
  • Initial assessment required 19 minutes, even by the third visit.
  • Correlation analysis revealed that a reduced set of 3 assisted tests took only 6 minutes.

Conclusions:

  • A three-test approach (grip strength, bioelectrical impedance analysis, Sit-to-Stand) diagnosed 96.6% of patients at risk.
  • Reduced assessment time by 70%, making it suitable for daily clinical routine.
  • This practical compromise facilitates guideline recommendations in routine care.
