Objective Life stress exposure may impact on health and disease. Previous literature showed that stressful life events are associated with cancer incidence, survival mortality. In animal models, patterns of maternal care have been shown to critically affect sensitivity immunity trajectories later in life, by modifying DNA methylation during critical periods early life. However, the role parental breast progression has only limitedly explored. Here, we investigated whether these factors be...
Integrating the psychosocial perspective in oncology is warranted.Here, we introduce a structured psychological intervention, clinical-care focused interview (CLiC), to address patients' needs relationship with health professionals, clinical pathway and decision-making process.The perceived utility feasibility of CLiC were evaluated preliminary sample 30 patients who candidates undergo radical cystectomy at European Institute Oncology, Milan, Italy.Patients reported very high satisfaction...
