Cancer Therapies

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...

The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

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...

Background:

Community-based systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) delivery models are emerging to improve access and efficiency.
Integration of oncology services into community settings presents unique challenges and opportunities.
Evidence-informed recommendations are needed to guide safe, sustainable, and equitable implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine factors influencing the development and implementation of community-based SACT delivery.
To identify evidence-based recommendations for integrating oncology services into community care.
To support safe, sustainable, and equitable oncology service delivery.

Main Methods:

Environmental scan of systematic reviews and primary studies on community oncology services.
Literature searches of MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases.
Critical reflections from multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and nursing leadership.

Main Results:

Community SACT is feasible and safe with structured governance, infrastructure, skilled teams, and hospital-community alignment.
Enabling factors include clear accountability, shared IT systems, communication, and workforce education.
Challenges persist in capacity, digital interoperability, and sustainable funding, necessitating policy alignment and stakeholder engagement.

Conclusions:

Community-based oncology care, exemplified by the CIT Oncology Service, enhances access, efficiency, and patient experience while maintaining quality.
Successful implementation requires integrated governance, data-driven evaluation, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Health systems must prioritize governance, workforce readiness, digital infrastructure, and evaluation for safe, equitable, and sustainable community oncology expansion.
