Gerrity, Charlotte ; Sinno, Abdulrahman ; Natori, Akina ; Sookdeo, Vandana ; MacIntyre, Jessica ; George, Sophia ; Calfa, Carmen ; Crane, Tracy E. ; Penedo, Frank J. ; Schlumbrecht, Matthew

Objectives: Racial and ethnic disparities in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among gynecologic cancer survivors are not well studied. We evaluated whether individual-level characteristics were associated with PROs in diverse gynecologic cancer survivors. Methods: Gynecologic cancer patients in an ambulatory oncology clinic completed a psychosocial and practical needs assessment before their appointments through the electronic medical record (EMR) patient portal. Assessments were available in [...]

Larsen, Emily N. ; Rickard, Claire M. ; Marsh, Nicole ; Fenn, Mary ; Paterson, Rebecca S. ; Ullman, Amanda J. ; Chan, Raymond J. ; Chopra, Vineet ; Tapsall, Doreen ; Corley, Amanda ; Gavin, Nicole ; Scanlon, Brighid ; Byrnes, Joshua

Purpose: Patients receiving treatment for solid tumours and haematological malignancies, among other acute and chronic health conditions, are highly dependent upon central venous access devices (CVADs) for administering chemotherapy and other complex therapies; thus, CVADs can meaningfully impact their health outcomes and experiences. This systematic review aimed to identify and critique patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and patient-reported experience measure (PREM) instruments related [...]

Methods: Over a 1-year period, we prospectively enrolled 40 older adults who received a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) at a geriatric oncology service and initiated a new line of systemic therapy for advanced cancer as inpatients. LAWS is a tailored, self-directed [...]

Menée à partir de données portant sur 182 témoins et sur 186 patients ayant survécu à un lymphome hodgkinien diagnostiqué pendant l'enfance ou l'adolescence (âge moyen au diagnostic : 14,4 ans), cette étude analyse la prévalence de dysfonctionnements sexuels

Sexual dysfunction among long-term survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma

Hanzlik, Emily ; Sabin, Noah D. ; Yoshida, Tomoko ; Delaney, Angela ; Xie, Lu ; Darji, Himani ; Srivastava, Deokumar ; Mulrooney, Daniel A. ; Hudson, Melissa M. ; Krull, Kevin R. ; Khan, Raja B.

Background: Survival rates from childhood cancer continue to increase, with an ongoing interest in long-term survivorship. Although infertility and gonadal failure are well recognized in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors, sexual dysfunction is less studied. The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in HL survivors with that in matched community controls. Methods: Long-term survivors of HL (n = 186; female, 51.61%; mean age at diagnosis. 14.41 years [range, [...]

This study aimed to identify factors associated with sexual activity, function, and satisfaction in YWBC up to five years post-diagnosis. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 474 women aged ≤40 years diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer in Mexico. Sexual function and satisfaction were assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index and the Sexual Satisfaction [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir des données portant sur 1 112 patients atteints d'un cancer gastrique non-cardia et sur 190 883 témoins, cette étude de cohorte prospective analyse les facteurs associés au risque de développer la maladie en fonction de l'origine ethnique

Racial/ethnic differences in risk factors for non-cardia gastric cancer: an analysis of the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) Study

Adams, Alexandra ; Gandhi, Atish ; Friedmann, Patricia ; Sarkar, Srawani ; Rana, Brijesh ; Epplein, Meira ; Wilkens, Lynne ; Huang, Brian Z. ; In, Haejin

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) incidence rates show notable differences by racial/ethnic groups in the US. We sought to determine whether stratification by race/ethnicity would reveal unique risk factors for development of non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC) for US population. Methods: Analysis included 1,112 incident cases of NCGC and 190,883 controls from the Multiethnic Cohort Study, a prospective US cohort study that recruited individuals living in Hawaii and California, aged 45–75 years from 5 [...]

Cancer disparities by age: a focus on sexual and gender minorities

Boehmer, Ulrike ; Jesdale, Bill M.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the age at which sexual and gender minorities are diagnosed with cancer relative to heterosexual cisgender individuals. Methods: We use population-based representative Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey data with self-reported sexual orientation, gender identity, cancer diagnoses, and the age at diagnosis. We determined the mean age at diagnosis and used logistic regression modeling to obtain odds ratios, reporting significant differences [...]

Menée à partir des données d'un registre canadien des cancers portant sur 196 858 adultes ayant survécu à un cancer diagnostiqué entre 2004 et 2020, cette étude analyse le risque de second cancer primitif

Risk of Developing a Subsequent Primary Cancer among Adult Cancer Survivors

Warkentin, Matthew T. ; Cheung, Winson Y. ; Brenner, Darren R. ; O’Sullivan, Dylan E.

Background: Improvements in cancer control have led to a drastic increase in cancer survivors who may be at an elevated risk of developing subsequent primary cancers (SPC). In this study, we assessed the risk and patterns of SPC development among 196,858 adult cancer survivors in Alberta, Canada. Methods: We used data from the Alberta Cancer Registry to identify all first primary cancers occurring between 2004 and 2020. A SPC was considered as the next primary cancer occurring in a different [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature (28 études, 3 874 patients), cette étude analyse la prévalence de nodules pulmonaires "en verre dépoli" inférieurs à 3 cm et leur proportion dans les cancers invasifs du poumon

AlShammari, Abdullah ; Patel, Akshay ; Boyle, Mark ; Proli, Chiara ; Gallesio, Jose Alvarez ; Wali, Anuj ; De Sousa, Paulo ; Lim, Eric

Background: The IASLC TNM proposal suggests that pure ground glass nodules less than 30 mm should be classified as cTis corresponding to pathologic adenocarcinoma in situ implying no invasive malignancy potential. We sought to ascertain the proportion of pure ground glass nodules that harbour tissue confirmed minimally invasive or invasive adenocarcinoma. Methods: We analyzed data from 3,874 individuals with pure ground glass nodules less than 30 mm, reported in 28 observational studies [...]

Importance : Young patients with breast cancer with estrogen receptor (ER)–positive, ERBB2-negative tumors have a poor prognosis. Understanding factors influencing late recurrence is crucial for improving management and outcomes. Objective : To determine whether age is an independent factor associated with late distant recurrence (DR) in young patients with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative cancers without distant metastasis within 5 years from surgery. Design, Setting, and Participants : This [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature (21 études), cette méta-synthèse analyse la communication entre les parents atteints d'un cancer de stade avancé et leurs enfants

How Do Parents With Advanced Cancer Communicate With Their Children? A Systematic Review and Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Studies

Xu, Jiefang ; Huang, Xiaoyan ; Zhang, Jie ; Zhang, Xiaoju ; Yang, Yang ; Xie, Mingzhu

Objective: Many cancer patients are raising young children while suffering from the seriousness of the illness, and it is challenging for parents to talk to their children about their parents' advanced cancer. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the existing evidence on parents' and children's experiences of communicating about parental advanced cancer. Methods: Seven databases including Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase (OVID), PROQUEST health and medical, CINAL Complete [...]

Yuen, Eva Y. N. ; Goldsmith, Joy ; Wilson, Carlene ; Toke, Shadow ; Hutchinson, Alison M. ; McLeod, Vicki ; Livingston, Patricia M. ; Day, Daphne ; Webber, Kate ; Wittenberg, Elaine

Purpose: Informal caregivers play a pivotal role in providing support to cancer survivors, yet have reported challenges with communicating with health providers to get all the information they need to provide optimal care. We aimed to adapt and pilot test a brief communication skills training program (COMFORT) to improve caregiver-provider communication in an Australian cancer setting. Methods: Module adaptation was guided by the cultural adaptation model. A working group completed the module [...]
