Lung cancer survivors face many challenges that affect their quality of life and survival. A growing concern is the layered effect stigma related to cigarette smoking perceived life-threatening diagnosis lung cancer. This experience may survivors' physical, psychological, social well-being, negatively influencing life.CINAHL®, PubMed®, PsycINFO®, Web Science were searched from January 2000 through August 2017, using combinations four keywords.Extracted data included research aims, design,...
Objectives: African American (AA) women with breast cancer (BrCA) have higher mortality than any other race. Differential has been attributed to nonadherence endocrine therapy (ET). ET can lower the risk of dying by one third; yet 50% 75% all are nonadherent ET. Despite wealth research examining adherence ET, understanding which groups at for poor is not well established. The aim this investigation was describe race and geographic location among a cohort younger BrCA survivors. Materials...
