まとめ
がん患者の診断を伝える医師の姿勢は劇的に逆転しています. 1961年のほとんどの医師は,この情報を隠すことを好み,1977年までに,臨床経験によって駆動された97%が,開示を好んだ.

主な方法:
- 患者の情報開示政策に関する1961年のアンケートは,1977年に大学病院の医療スタッフに再管理されました.
- 1977年の264人の回答者のデータと1961年の調査結果を比較した.
主要な成果:
- 医者の好みのほぼ完全な逆転が観察され,1977年には97%が開示を支持し,1961年には90%が開示に反対した.
- 臨床経験は重要な要因であり続けたが,医療と病院の研修は政策の形成において重要な役割を果たした.
- 医者は,研究結果に基づいて自分の立場を変更する傾向が少ないことを示しました.
結論:
- 癌の診断に関する医師のコミュニケーションの慣行は,患者の自律性を有利に,著しく進化しました.
- 態度はまだ経験的証拠よりも個人的な信念と経験によって大きく影響されています.
- 患者とのコミュニケーションにおける臨床的意思決定に対するエビデンスベースの医療の影響を理解するために,さらなる研究が必要である.

Cancer Prevention
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 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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers
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...

Nursing Ethical Principles II
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.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities I
In healthcare, informed consent is a crucial process that involves thoroughly communicating medical treatment options to patients, including benefits, risks, potential side effects, and alternatives. This process enables patients to make well-informed decisions about their care, ensuring they understand the implications of their choices before consenting to or refusing treatment.
The legal responsibilities of a nurse regarding informed consent include the following:
