Resumen
Muchas sobrevivientes de cáncer de mama adoptan actitudes positivas y apoyo social. Sin embargo, algunas mujeres diagnosticadas y tratadas por cáncer no se identifican con el término "superviviente".
Área de la Ciencia:
- En el campo de la oncología
- Investigación cualitativa
- Sociología
Sus antecedentes:
- El término "superviviente" se usa comúnmente para las personas diagnosticadas, tratadas y libres de cáncer.
- Comprender las experiencias vividas de los sobrevivientes de cáncer es crucial para la atención centrada en el paciente.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para explorar las experiencias de las mujeres diagnosticadas, tratadas y libres de cáncer.
- Para entender cómo las mujeres perciben la identidad de ser una "superviviente" después del tratamiento del cáncer de mama.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizó un muestreo intencional para reclutar a 15 mujeres (10 blancas, 5 negras) de dos centros de cáncer de Missouri.
- Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con participantes de entre 34 y 62 años, todos con al menos una licenciatura.
Principales resultados:
- Ocho temas surgieron, destacando la importancia de una actitud positiva y el apoyo social (familia, amigos) durante el viaje del cáncer.
- Los participantes expresaron incertidumbre y un rechazo personal a la etiqueta de "superviviente", a pesar de estar libres de cáncer.
Conclusiones:
- La aplicación común de la etiqueta "superviviente" puede no resonar con todas las personas que han completado el tratamiento del cáncer de mama.
- Los profesionales de la salud, los educadores y los consejeros deben tener en cuenta la terminología y la identidad individual del paciente cuando se refieren a los sobrevivientes de cáncer.

01:21Cancer Survival Analysis
453
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...

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

02:56Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.4K
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 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...

02:40Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance
5.0K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...
