Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

812
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 Prevention

8.6K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Vaccines

1.3K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.9K
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

10.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Photovoice combines photography and narrative to explore participants' lived experiences.
  • Cancer survivorship research increasingly utilizes qualitative methods to understand patient journeys.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Synthesize applications of photovoice in cancer survivorship research.
  • Identify study populations, emergent themes, and methodologies.
  • Evaluate the contribution of photovoice to patient-centered survivorship care.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Searched PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases.
  • Narrative synthesis of 26 included studies, appraised using CASP checklist.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-six studies included, most with small sample sizes (≤20 participants).
  • Male survivors were underrepresented; 7/26 studies focused solely on females.
  • Key themes: psychosocial/emotional experiences, care systems/barriers, agency/advocacy, and health behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Photovoice effectively captures survivor perspectives, addressing a gap in survivorship research.
  • Participation depth and reporting consistency require improvement.
  • Future research should enhance transparent reporting, ethical safeguards, inclusive recruitment, and policy integration.
