Abstract Observational data have shown that some cancer survivors develop chronic conditions like frailty, sarcopenia, cardiac dysfunction, and mild cognitive impairment earlier and/or at a greater burden than similarly aged individuals never diagnosed with or exposed to systemic targeted therapies. In aggregate, cancer- treatment-related physical, cognitive, psychosocial late- long-term morbidities experienced by are hypothesized represent accelerated accentuated aging trajectories....
Although dual independent review of search results by two reviewers is generally recommended for systematic reviews, there are not consistent recommendations regarding the timing use second reviewer. This study compared a complete approach, with in both title/abstract screening stage and full-text stage, as limited only stage.
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...
Today, there are more than 16.9 million cancer survivors in the United States; this number is projected to grow 22.2 by 2030. Although much progress has been made describing survivors' needs and improving survivorship care since seminal 2006 Institute of Medicine report "From Cancer Patient Survivor: Lost Transition," a need identify evidence gaps research priorities pertaining survivorship. Thus, April 2019, National convened grant-funded extramural researchers, representatives professional...
Up to 85% of adult cancer survivors and 99% childhood live with an accumulation chronic conditions, frailty, and/or cognitive impairments resulting from its treatment. Thus, often show accelerated development multiple geriatric syndromes need therapeutic interventions. To advance progress in this area, the National Cancer Institute convened second 2 think tanks under auspices Accelerated Aging: Advancing Research for Healthy Survivors initiative. Experts assembled share evidence promising...
An important and often overlooked subpopulation of cancer survivors is individuals who are diagnosed with or progress to advanced metastatic cancer. Living longer comes a cost burdensome physical psychosocial symptoms complex care needs; however, research limited on this population. Thus, in May 2021, the National Cancer Institute convened subject matter experts, researchers, clinicians, survivors, advocates for 2-day virtual meeting. The purpose report provide summary evidence gaps...
Abstract BACKGROUND. Small samples with few minority women and/or the absence of comparisons to peers without cancer histories have limited previous research suggesting racial differences in breast survivors' health‐related quality life (HRQoL). This study not only compared HRQoL African American and white survivors, but also these that same‐race no history. METHODS. Data from Women's Health Initiative‐Observational Study were used, including 5021 survivors 88,532 a history cancer....
Cancer control research involves the conduct of basic and applied behavioral social sciences to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, mortality improve quality life. Given importance behavior in control, fundamental is necessary identify psychological mechanisms underlying risk, prevention, management behaviors. diagnosis, treatment are often emotionally laden. As such, affective science elucidate questions related phenomenological nature emotion, stress, mood understand how can be hindered or...
Advancing age is often characterized by preserved or even enhanced emotion regulation, which thought to manifest in terms of age-related reductions the within-person association between stressors and negative affect. Existing research from ecological momentary assessment end-of-day daily diary studies examining such benefits have yielded mixed results, potentially due differences samples, design, measurement everyday We conducted a coordinated analysis 5 assessments 2 examine adult Reported...
To determine whether actigraphy-measured sleep was independently associated with risk of frailty and mortality over a 5-year period among older adults. We used data from Waves 2 (W2) 3 (W3) (2010-2015) the National Social Life, Health Aging Project, prospective cohort community-dwelling adults born between 1920 1947. One-third W2 respondents were randomly selected to participate in study, whom N = 727 consented 615 included analytic sample. Participants instructed wear wrist actigraph for 72...
ABSTRACT Background The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics NIH‐funded grant portfolio focused on cancer and accelerated aging. Methods Research project grants survivors aging trajectories that were newly funded during fiscal years 2013 through 2023 identified by first using a text mining algorithm from NIH Research, Condition, Disease Categorization (RCDC) system with survivorship‐relevant terms then list aging‐related included aging, neurocognition, physical function....
The increasing prevalence of multimorbidity in the United States and rest world poses problems for patients health care providers, systems, policy. After clarifying difference between comorbidity multimorbidity, this article describes challenges that presents well-being, prevention, medical treatment. We submit psychology behavioral medicine have an important role to play meeting these because holistic vision afforded by foundational biopsychosocial model. Furthermore, opportunities abound...
It is estimated that behaviors such as poor diet, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, sedentary behavior, and excessive ultraviolet exposure account for nearly one-half of all cancer morbidity mortality. Accordingly, the behavioral, social, communication sciences have been important contributors to prevention control research, with methodological advances implementation science helping produce optimally effective interventions. To sustain these contributions, it vital adapt contemporary...
Emotion suppression may lead to ironic increases in emotional experience. More important, is a transactional process, creating stress and disrupting interactions for the suppressor those social with individuals who are suppressing emotion. However, no research has examined behavioral consequences of emotion close relationships. We examine possibility that will predict eating behaviors as secondary regulatory strategy among 1,556 parent-adolescent dyads (N = 3,112), consistent evidence...
