Although higher incidence and mortality of gynecological cancer (GynCa) are documented in black compared with white women, few studies have quality life (QOL) or healthy control comparisons.This study depression, sexual function, QOL between patients GynCa race-matched controls.Patients controls completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Female Sexual Function Index, Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-General measures at baseline; were assessed again 6 months post-radiation therapy...
Postmenopausal women often suffer from vaginal symptoms associated with atrophic vaginitis. Additionally, gynecologic cancer survivors may live for decades additional, clinically significant, persistent toxicities caused by therapies, including pain, dyspareunia, and sexual dysfunction. The microbiome (VM) has been previously linked related to menopause ( i.e. dryness). Our previous work showed that patients exhibit distinct VM profiles healthy women, low abundance of lactobacilli prevalence...
To evaluate the associations between social determinants of health (SDOH) and psychoneurologic symptom (PNS) clusters in women with gynecologic cancers during cancer treatment.67 who received radiation therapy were assessed at baseline, six to eight weeks after treatment, months treatment oncology clinics Georgia.Fatigue, pain, sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment, depressive symptoms measured determine a PNS cluster score. Associations SDOH scores using mixed-effect models.Larger mean...
Abstract Introduction: Emerging evidence highlights the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in symptom burden related to cancer treatments. However, its underlying biological mechanisms are not fully understood. Thus, present study aimed evaluate associations between patients’ education, as an indicator SES, and gut microbiome with psychoneurological symptoms (PNS) cluster gynecologic patients over time. Methods: Nineteen women cervical endometrial cancers treated radiotherapy or...
