Resumen
La mayoría de los pacientes con cáncer (93%) se encuentran con información errónea sobre el tratamiento del cáncer (CTM), a menudo de amigos y familiares. La exposición pasiva es más común que la búsqueda activa, lo que pone de relieve la necesidad de mejores estrategias de educación y comunicación de los pacientes.
Área de la Ciencia:
- En el campo de la oncología
- Comunicación sobre la salud
- Educación del paciente
Sus antecedentes:
- La información errónea sobre el tratamiento del cáncer representa una amenaza significativa para la atención y los resultados del paciente.
- La evaluación de la exposición del paciente a la CTM es crucial para el desarrollo de intervenciones eficaces.
- Se necesita una herramienta validada para medir con precisión la exposición a la CTM.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la exposición del paciente a la información errónea sobre el tratamiento del cáncer (CTM) utilizando la encuesta de exposición a la información errónea sobre el tratamiento del cáncer (ECTM).
- Operationalizar la MTC para incluir tratamientos no probados, renunciar a la atención convencional y aceptar mitos.
- Evaluar la utilidad de la encuesta ECTM en la captura de las dimensiones de exposición a la CTM.
Principales métodos:
- Se administró una encuesta a 110 participantes con diagnóstico de cáncer.
- Los participantes identificaron tratamientos contra el cáncer no basados en la evidencia con los que se habían encontrado.
- La encuesta evaluó los tipos de CTM, las fuentes y los patrones de exposición (búsqueda frente a escaneo).
Principales resultados:
- Se observó una alta prevalencia de exposición a CTM, con un 93% que informó exposición a al menos una forma.
- El 79% se encontró con mitos o conceptos erróneos sobre el cáncer identificados por el Instituto Nacional del Cáncer.
- La exposición pasiva, principalmente de amigos y familiares, fue más común que la búsqueda activa de información.
Conclusiones:
- La encuesta ECTM es una herramienta útil para evaluar las múltiples facetas de la exposición a la CTM.
- Los resultados ponen de relieve la prevalencia de la MTC y la importancia de las redes sociales como fuentes.
- Las investigaciones futuras deben validar la encuesta ECTM y explorar la comunicación paciente-oncólogo con respecto a la CTM.

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

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...

02:49Cancer Therapies
7.9K
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...

658
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.

01:21Cancer Survival Analysis
445
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...

02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
5.1K
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...
