Delayed presentation of symptomatic cancer is associated with poorer survival. Aboriginal patients have higher rates distant metastases at diagnosis compared non-Aboriginal Australians. This paper examined factors contributing to delayed among Australians from patient and service providers' perspectives.In-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted in two stages (2006-2007 2011). Inductive thematic analysis was assisted by use NVivo looking around delays presentation, referral for...
Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare cutaneous tumour where the role of radiotherapy remains undefined. We contrast our institutional experience with current literature, define local control rate and suggest for adjuvant in treatment this cancer.From 1992-2008, retrospective review was undertaken MAC treated curative intent involving surgery at Royal Brisbane Hospital Mater Brisbane. Clinical, pathologic details as well patterns recurrence were analysed.Fourteen cases received...
Nonmelanoma skin cancer and its treatment represent a significant global burden for health care systems patients. Rhenium therapy (Rhenium SCT) is novel noninvasive radionuclide nonmelanoma treatment, which can be provided in single outpatient session. The aim of this prospective, multicenter, single-arm, international, phase IV study (EPIC-Skin) to assess clinic- patient-reported outcomes SCT as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) squamous (SCC).
Molecular markers can be used to identify residual cancer at the surgical margins of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) assist in evaluating complete resection tumour. The purpose present study was investigate expression levels prognostic molecular histological tumour free margins. In clinical retrospective study, 24/48 patients were selected with negative for further analysis immunohistochemical staining. Contingency tables Fisher's exact tests association between p53 eukaryotic...
Indigenous Australians with cancer tend to be diagnosed more aggressive and advanced-stage disease, receive less treatment, have poorer survival lower quality of life than other Australians. Reducing these inequalities requires an understanding the supportive care needs this group. This study aims describe type extent unmet Australian patients.A multicentre, cross-sectional recruited 145 adults in previous 5 years four states territories. Using a culturally specific tool, were assessed...
Purpose: Preparation for head and neck cancer treatment is focused on practicalities of treatment. Little or no time spent prior to discussing aesthetic results the psychosocial impact living with an altered appearance after The objective this study was explore experiences survivors cancers, a focus appearance. Methods: A qualitative research approach based social constructionist theory used. Twenty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted who had been diagnosed in previous six years....
There is a perception that Indigenous patients are less likely to attend radiotherapy treatment. This study sought determine if difference in treatment compliance rates exists between and non-Indigenous patients. Secondly, we aimed ascertain which patient, disease factors affect
The most often diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide is cancer of the cervix. It also prevalent kind gynecological women. This originates opening cervix and spreads through sexual contact. Even though human papillomavirus (HPV) may not cause immediately, it does develop over time as a result virus's lengthy persistence to dysplastic changes overtime, particularly high-risk kinds. primary objective this research see if miRNAs are dysregulated treatment resistance cervical (CC). aim these...
With improved target conformality, the transition to IMRT for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) has moved contouring accuracy and consistency forefront. At NUH, NPC was implemented in 2005, with more than 70 patients treated since then. The objective measure variability of organs at risk (OAR) over time. first 10 patients, 5 from each two head neck (H&N) Radiation Oncologists, by 2005 formed cohort A. Ten matched stage, 2007 B. RTOG 0225 protocol followed. These 20 plans were retrieved archive. A...
Travel logistics impede Aboriginal patients' uptake of cancer treatments and is one reason for the poorer outcomes people with cancer. This research examined benefits a newly established rurally based radiotherapy unit in southwest Western Australia (WA), included exploring experience patients possible reasons people's underrepresentation treatment. Semi-structured in-depth interviews 21 service providers involved treatment care cancer, 3 who undertook at Service were undertaken. Data...
Incidence trends of head and neck cancer (HNC) have implications for screening strategies, disease management, guiding health policy making, are needed to further oral research. This paper aims describe in age-adjusted HNC incidence rates focusing on changes across calendar period between 2007 2010 Australian Northern Territory. Age-adjusted were calculated 2007-2010 using Territory population based data assembled by Department Health, Government Australia. Changes the rate ratio (RR)...
