Abstract Background With aging of the population and improvements in diagnosis, treatment, supportive care, number cancer survivors United States has increased; updated prevalence estimates are needed. Methods Cancer on January 1, 2022, was estimated using Prevalence Incidence Approach Model, utilizing incidence, survival, mortality. by age decade, sex, time from diagnosis calculated. The percentage projected US sex calculated as ratio sex-specific to population. Results There were an 18.1...
ABSTRACT Background Nearly 20% of US cancer survivors develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) from cardiotoxic treatments. Patients and providers may consider alternative treatments to lower cardiotoxicity risk, but these be less effective at preventing relapse/recurrence, presenting a difficult tradeoff. Aims This study explored survivors' treatment decision‐making when weighing this Methods Using adjusted multivariable logistic regression, we examined 443 risk perceptions (deliberative,...
Older adults with advanced cancer experience functional disability that warrants rehabilitation services; however, evidence indicates inconsistencies in referral. The purpose was to (1) identify predictors of geriatric assessment (GA)-driven referrals services and (2) explore associations between referral change function, health-related quality life (HRQoL), overall survival among older cancer.
Background Hematological cancer impacts both patients and their caregivers. Although only experience direct physical effects from cancer, caregivers psychological cancer-related stressors. Theories suggest that patient-caregiver dyads, although experiencing individual may also indirectly affect one another's health. This is called interdependence. Objective study investigated health interdependence among dyads facing hematological whether relationship quality was a moderator of Methods...
There are more than 43 million family caregivers in the United States. In studies of and receivers, evidence suggests that caregiver-receiver mutuality is linked to health. Lack a clear definition an obstacle prevents scientific progress effective operationalization concept. To address this issue, authors applied Walker Avant's method for concept analysis clarified mutuality. A standardized presented along with antecedents, consequences, defining attributes, empirical referents, case illustrations.
e24076 Background: Nearly 20% of U.S. cancer survivors develop late cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a result cardiotoxic treatments. Patients and providers may consider alternative treatment options to lower cardiotoxicity risk, which present trade-off between reducing relatively near-term relapse/recurrence vs. preventing long-term CVD. Patients’ decision-making processes (e.g., delay discounting, risk perceptions for CVD cancer) affect such choices. However, these factors are not well...
10049 Background: Survivors of childhood cancers may be at risk for premature, or accelerated, biological age aging, which is associated with cancer treatment exposures. However, life course theory and a growing body evidence suggest that psychosocial lifestyle factors also contribute. The objective this study was to explore associations between acceleration in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort. Methods: In cross-sectional study, we applied physiology-based methods (Klemera-Doubal method...
Palliative chemotherapy can be conceptually confusing to patients and their families. When presented as an option at end of life, the decision-making process particularly stressful families struggle understand goals palliative chemotherapy, examine own values, wishes, expectations for care. Lacking a clear definition in literature, is highly individualized patients. However, applying holistic strategies during mitigate stress, protect from misinformation, ensure that they do not miss...
Abstract BACKGROUND Cancer and cancer treatments contribute to accelerated aging frailty, which is present in over 50% of adult survivors increases vulnerability poor outcomes. Biomarkers frailty would allow for early identification timely interventions. The purpose this review synthesize the current literature examining biomarkers across solid tumor patients, including primary brain tumors (PBT). METHODS systematic was conducted using preferred reporting items reviews meta-analysis (PRISMA)...
