BackgroundThe challenges of advanced cancer have health implications for patients and their family caregivers from diagnosis through end life. The nature the patient/caregiver experience suggests that mental physical may be interdependent, but limited empirical evidence exists.
PURPOSE To update the ASCO guideline on pharmacologic interventions for breast cancer risk reduction and provide guidance clinical issues that arise when deciding to use endocrine therapy reduction. METHODS An Expert Panel conducted targeted systematic literature reviews identify new studies. RESULTS A randomized trial evaluated of anastrozole estrogen receptor–positive cancers in postmenopausal women at increased developing provided predominant basis update. UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS In risk,...
Most programs addressing psychosocial concerns of cancer survivors are in-person that expensive to deliver, have limited availability, and seldom deal with caregivers' concerns.This study examined the feasibility translating an efficacious nurse-delivered program (FOCUS Program) for patients their caregivers a tailored, dyadic Web-based format. Specific aims were (1) test preliminary effects intervention on patient caregiver outcomes, (2) examine participants' satisfaction, (3) determine...
Abstract Background Comprehensive breast cancer risk prediction models enable identifying and targeting women at high-risk, while reducing interventions in those low-risk. Breast used clinical practice have low discriminatory accuracy (0.53–0.64). Machine learning (ML) offers an alternative approach to standard modeling that may address current limitations improve of tools. The purpose this study was compare the ML-based estimates against a pair established methods—the Cancer Risk Assessment...
Demand for nipple- and skin- sparing mastectomy (NSM/SSM) with immediate breast reconstruction (BR) has increased at the same time as indications post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) have broadened. The aim of Oncoplastic Breast Consortium initiative was to address relevant questions arising this clinically challenging scenario.A large global panel oncologic, oncoplastic reconstructive surgeons, patient advocates oncologists developed recommendations clinical practice in an iterative...
Purpose/Objectives: To examine the relationship between women's reported social support and their adherence to recommended breast cancer screening guidelines.
Efforts are needed across disciplines to close disparities in genomic healthcare. Nurses the most numerous trained healthcare professionals worldwide and can play a key role addressing continuum of care. ACCESS is an empirically-based theoretical framework guide clinical practice order ameliorate disparities.
Purpose/Objectives: To describe perceived breast cancer risk, identify the percentage of women with inaccurate risk perceptions, and examine influence objective on screening behavior.
Objective Fear of cancer recurrence, although distinct from distress continues to be under-evaluated, captured, or treated when standard scales are used assess concerns survivors. We tested a model assessing the association demographic and clinical factors, illness representations, perceived risk with fear recurrence in breast Methods recruited 117 survivors at least one year after completing treatment Internet discussion boards for this cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study....

Introduction Up to one-fifth of breast cancer survivors will develop chronic cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). To date, complex physical decongestion therapy (CDT) is the gold standard treatment. However, it mainly symptomatic and often ineffective in preventing BCRL progression. Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) vascularised lymph node transfer (VLNT) are microsurgical techniques that aim restore lymphatic drainage. This international randomised trial aims evaluate advantages interventions...
Abstract Background The clinical utility of machine-learning (ML) algorithms for breast cancer risk prediction and screening practices is unknown. We compared classification lifetime based on ML the BOADICEA model. explored differences in their impact practices. Methods used three different model to estimate a sample 112,587 individuals from 2481 families Oncogenetic Unit, Geneva University Hospitals. Performance was evaluated using area under receiver operating characteristic (AU-ROC)...
Low uptake of genetic services among members families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) suggests limitations proband-mediated communication risk. This study explored how information proceeds from healthcare providers to probands relatives, the probands' perspectives. Using a grounded-theory approach, we analyzed narrative data collected individual interviews focus groups sample 48 women identified as carriers HBOC-associated pathogenic variants three linguistic regions...
