青功可能有助于减少癌症相关的疲劳,睡眠问题和幸存者的抑郁症. 这项研究评估了它在乳腺,肺癌和结直肠癌患者中的可行性和效果.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 综合医学是一个整体的医学.
- 行为医学是一种行为医学.
背景情况:
- 与癌症相关的疲劳 (CRF) 和相关的睡眠障碍和抑郁症在乳腺癌,肺癌和结直肠癌的幸存者中很常见.
- 目前对CRF的治疗方法缺乏黄金标准,但像Qigong这样的心身炼显示出希望.
- 目前,古青功正在被研究为治疗CRF和相关症状的潜在干预措施.
研究的目的:
- 评估为癌症幸存者实施古青功的可行性.
- 评估古青功对CRF,睡眠质量和抑郁症的影响.
- 为了探索癌症幸存者的感知和经验与古青功干预.
主要方法:
- 一个开放的,随机对照试验,有60名参与者 (1:1比率),将古林青功与常规护理 (等待名单) 进行比较.
- 干预组接受了12周的古林功课,并进行了4周的随访;对照组接受了通常的护理.
- 通过招聘,保留,出席,坚持和安全来衡量可行性. 在多个时间点评估的次要结果 (疲劳,睡眠,抑郁,皮质醇).
主要成果:
- 该部分尚未提供,因为研究仍在进行中.
- 研究设计采用混合方法,包括定量结果测量和定性访谈.

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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
