Quitting smoking improves patients' clinical outcomes, yet is not commonly addressed as part of cancer care. The Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) supports National Institute-designated centers to integrate tobacco treatment programs (TTPs) into routine C3I vary in size, implementation strategies used, and approaches. We examined associations these contextual factors with reach cessation effectiveness.
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Germline BRCA1/2 testing has become a standard evidence-based practice, with established risk reduction and cancer screening guidelines for genetic carriers. With FDA approval PARP inhibitors in patients advanced breast, ovarian, pancreatic prostate cancer, there is an additional therapeutic rationale all germline mutations. Yet, many at-risk do not have access to services, leaving carriers unidentified. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The eREACH study (A...
The Geriatric Depression Scale is a useful tool in screening for depression older adults, particularly vulnerable population oncology. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer (DT) has been validated as fast and effective psychological distress general oncology populations, it could possibly be used surrogate the longer (GDS) test adults with cancer. In this retrospective cross-sectional study prior to starting cancer treatment, we evaluated relationship between DT...
Abstract Objectives: Familial caregivers are providing increasing amounts of care to advanced cancer patients. Increased understanding caregivers’ needs is vital in necessary support lessen caregiver burden and morbidity. Current literature has identified patient at broad stages the trajectory; however, such may be too general inform a practice targeting specific interventions when they have greatest utility. This study examines variety particular across number more discrete illness-related...
Objectives: Low-income, inner-city women bear a disproportionate burden of cervical cancer in both incidence and mortality rates the United States, largely because low adherence to follow-up recommendations after an abnormal cytology result primary care setting. The goals present study were delineate theory-based psychosocial barriers underlying these persistent their sociodemographic correlates. Methods: Guided by well-validated theory health behaviors, this cross-sectional, correlational...
To understand the underlying psychosocial reactions against unfolding of medical events that announce disease progression, objective this analysis was to identify patterns online discussion group message themes in relation timeline one woman's breast cancer trajectory. 202 messages posted by Darlene (our studied case) were analyzed 2 independent coders using a grounded theory approach. The findings suggest pattern clearly correlated with distress-inducing events. most frequent interaction...
Background: Underserved women are at high risk for smoking relapse after childbirth due to their unique socioeconomic and postpartum stressors barriers. Mobile text messaging technology allows delivery of prevention programs targeted personal needs over time.
The existing knowledge on the survivorship experiences of Chinese American breast cancer survivors (CABCS) has arisen largely from aggregated data across multiethnic or multicancer studies that have focused quality life. Little is known about perspectives and preferences for care.To examine CABCS to better understand their information communication needs care plans (SCPs).16 CABCS, aged 37-72 years, were recruited through community-based organizations in Northeast United States participate...
Objectives Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that currently infects nearly 80 million people in the United States (U.S.) and can lead to cancer. HPV vaccination provides safe, effective, lasting protection against infections. Nevertheless, rates remain suboptimal. The purpose of this study was examine relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, vaccine awareness, knowledge HPV-associated cancers among U.S. adults.Design Using responses from 3504 adults (aged 18 years...
