Abstract Background ASPirin in Reducing Events the Elderly, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of daily low-dose aspirin (100 mg) older adults, showed an increase all-cause mortality, primarily due to cancer. In contrast, prior randomized controlled trials, mainly involving younger individuals, demonstrated delayed cancer benefit with aspirin. We now report detailed analysis incidence and mortality. Methods 19 114 Australian US community-dwelling participants aged 70 years...
There is a need to better understand the posttreatment concerns of nearly 14 million survivors cancer alive in United States today and their receipt care. Using data from 2,910 2006 or 2010 LIVESTRONG Surveys, authors examined physical, emotional, practical concerns, care, trends these outcomes at population level.89% respondents reported least one physical concern (67% received associated care), 90% emotional (47% 45% (36% care). Female survivors, younger those who more intensive treatment,...
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older postmenopausal women. The impact breast cancer on CVD for women uncertain. We hypothesized that with would be at a higher risk than similar aged without major contributor to subsequent mortality. Methods In prospective Women's Health Initiative study, incident events total cause-specific death rates were compared between (n = 4,340) 97,576) invasive over 10 years post-diagnosis, stratified by...
Purpose/Objectives: To conduct an investigation of women's experiences related to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) and managing AET-related symptoms.
To assess the feasibility of auricular point acupressure to manage aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia. .Wait list control design. .Outpatient clinics and oncology center. .20 women with .After baseline data were collected, participants waited one month before they received once per week for four weeks at a convenient time. The served as comparison. Self-reported measures blood samples obtained baseline, preintervention, weekly during intervention, post-intervention. .The primary outcomes...
Sex differences in susceptibility to alcohol-induced liver injury have been observed both humans and experimental animal models. Using a standard model of fatty microarray analysis, we identified differential expression hepatic genes sexes. The that exhibit are three types: those changed only male rats fed alcohol, change female sexes, although not always the same manner. Certain differentially expressed previously as participants induction injury. However, this analysis has number...
Self-advocacy, defined as a cancer survivor's ability to get his or her needs met in the face of challenge, is critical skill for those facing overwhelming disease and psychological burdens (Hagan & Donovan, 2013a, 2013b). Self-advocacy consists three main skills: (a) making informed decisions, (b) finding strength through connection with others, (c) communicating effectively oncology care team.
Cancer survivors can be at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) because either their malignancy or its treatment. Although studies linking cancer and CVD exist, few examine in older adults, the impact treatment, effect aspirin on reducing this cohort.
Background: This study examines the expansion of health insurance coverage in Massachusetts under state reform as a natural experiment to investigate whether expanded reduced likelihood advanced stage colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast (BCA) diagnosis. Methods: Our populations include CRC or BCA patients aged 50–64 years observed Cancer Registry Surveillance Epidemiology End Results (SEER) registries for 2001–2013. We use difference-in-differences regression models estimate changes diagnosis...
Cancer treatment planning in older adults is complex and requires careful balancing of survival, quality life benefits, risk treatment-related morbidity toxicity. As a result, selection this cohort tends to differ from that for younger patients. However, there are very few studies describing cancer patterns cohorts.We used data the ASPirin Reducing Events Elderly (ASPREE) trial ASPREE Treatment Substudy (ACTS) describe adults. We multivariate logistic regression model identify factors...
