Abstract Objectives : One of the most common acute side effects breast cancer radiotherapy is treatment‐induced skin changes, referred to as toxicity. Yet no research date has focused expressly on toxicity‐related quality life (QOL) in patients. Therefore, our aim was use qualitative approaches better understand impact toxicity QOL. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 women (Stage 0–III cancer), during their last week external beam radiotherapy. Each interview...
The objective of this study was to test the efficacy cognitive-behavioral therapy plus hypnosis (CBTH) control fatigue in patients with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy. We hypothesized that CBTH group receiving radiotherapy would have lower levels than an attention group.Patients (n = 200) were randomly assigned either 100; mean age, 55.59 years) or 55.97 group. Fatigue measured at four time points (baseline, end radiotherapy, 4 weeks, and 6 months after radiotherapy). using Functional...
The study purpose was to test the effectiveness of a psychological intervention combining cognitive-behavioral therapy and hypnosis (CBTH) treat radiotherapy-related fatigue.Women (n = 42) scheduled for breast cancer radiotherapy were randomly assigned receive standard medical care (SMC) 20) or CBTH 22) in addition SMC. Participants met individually with clinical psychologist. participants received training CBT. SMC control condition did not meet psychologist.Fatigue measured on weekly basis...
Abstract Breast cancer radiotherapy can be an emotionally difficult experience. Despite this, few studies have examined the effectiveness of psychological interventions to reduce negative affect, and none date explicitly improve positive affect among breast patients. The present study a multimodal psychotherapeutic approach, combining cognitive‐behavioral therapy hypnosis (CBTH), increase in 40 women undergoing radiotherapy. Participants were randomly assigned receive either CBTH or standard...
Past research examined measures of pain among seniors who were experiencing movement‐related exacerbations musculoskeletal and obtained clear support for the utility behavioural coding pain‐related body movements (e.g., bracing, guarding). Support Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which involves objective facial reactions, was not as strong. The findings concerning FACS could have been an artifact methodology that used. Specifically, duratio reactions taken into account patients suffered...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting all aspects of life and changing the practice medicine. Multiple recommendations exist on how radiation oncology practices should deal with this crisis, but little information available what actually happens when COVID-19 surge arrives. New York City experienced first in United States now epicenter global pandemic. This study reviews has affected medicine, nursing, therapy, administration a hospital system York.A retrospective...
OBJECTIVE Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are commonly utilized in the management of brain metastases. Treatment-related imaging changes (TRICs) a frequently observed clinical manifestation classified as imaging-defined radiation necrosis. However, these findings not well characterized may predict response to SRS ICIs. The objective this study was investigate predictors TRICs their impact on patient survival. METHODS This retrospective multicenter...
BACKGROUND: Melanoma brain metastases are commonly treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, the toxicity of these 2 treatments is largely unknown when administered concurrently. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate risk radiation necrosis (RN) concurrent nonconcurrent SRS ICIs. METHODS: The guidelines from Strengthening Reporting Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist were used. Inverse probability treatment weighting, univariable...
Abstract Background Accurate delineation of organs at risk (OARs) is crucial yet time‐consuming in the radiotherapy treatment planning workflow. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies had made automation OAR contouring feasible. This report details a single institution's experience evaluating two commercial auto‐contouring software tools and making well‐informed decisions about their clinical adoption. Methods A cohort 36 patients previously treated our institution were selected...
Background/Aim: Patients with advanced breast cancer may experience ulcerative lesions. Breast lesions has been shown to severely affect a patient9s quality of life (QoL). The role palliative radiation therapy (RT) in the management needs be further explored. and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed RT records for all patients who underwent at our urban academic medical center. A total 13 were identified, we herein report their demographics, treatment characteristics, clinical outcomes....
High income, high socioeconomic status, and affluence increase breast cancer incidence. Socioeconomic status in USA studies has been assessed by block-group measures. A block group is a portion of census tract with boundaries that segregate, as far possible, groups. In this study, we used US Census income data instead groups to gauge patients relationship incidence, prognostic markers, survival. state incidence mortality are from the U.S. Cancer Statistics Working Group, United States...
Some patients with breast cancer treated by surgery and radiation therapy experience clinically significant toxicity, which may adversely affect cosmesis quality of life. There is a paucity validated clinical prediction models for toxicity. We used machine learning (ML) algorithms to develop optimise model acute desquamation after whole external beam in the prospective multicenter REQUITE cohort study.Using demographic treatment-related features (m = 122) from (n 2058) at 26 centers, we...
