The dynamic growth of the skeleton during childhood and adolescence renders it vulnerable to adverse effects of cancer treatment. The lifetime risk and patterns of skeletal morbidity have not been described in a population-based cohort of childhood cancer survivors. A cohort of 26,334 one-year cancer survivors diagnosed before 20 years of age was identified from the national cancer registries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden as well as a cohort of 127,531 age- and sex-matched comparison [...]

Andrea C. Enzinger ; Kaushik Ghosh ; Nancy L. Keating ; David M. Cutler ; Mary Beth Landrum ; Alexi A. Wright

PURPOSE : Heightened regulations have decreased opioid prescribing across the United States, yet little is known about trends in opioid access among patients dying of cancer. METHODS : Among 270,632 Medicare fee-for-service decedents with poor prognosis cancers, we used part D data to examine trends from 2007 to 2017 in opioid prescription fills and opioid potency (morphine milligram equivalents per day [MMED]) near the end-of-life (EOL), defined as the 30 days before death or hospice [...]

PURPOSE : Eight percent of young-adult childhood cancer survivors meet criteria for frailty, an aging phenotype associated with poor health. In the elderly general population, frailty is associated with neurocognitive decline; this association has not been examined in adult survivors of childhood cancer. METHODS : Childhood cancer survivors 18-45 years old (≥ 10 years from diagnosis) were clinically evaluated for prefrailty or frailty (respectively defined as ≥ 2 or ≥ 3 of: muscle wasting, [...]

A partir d'une revue de la littérature (29 essais), cette étude analyse l'effet, sur la survie à long terme, d'un soutien nutritionnel (supplémentation orale, conseils nutritionnels, alimentation parentérale, etc.) dispensé avec une chimiothérapie chez des patients atteints d'un cancer

Characterizing pain in long-term survivors of childhood cancer

Patton, Michaela ; Forster, Victoria J. ; Forbes, Caitlin ; Stokoe, Mehak ; Noel, Melanie ; Carlson, Linda E. ; Birnie, Kathryn A. ; Reynolds, Kathleen ; Schulte, Fiona

Abstrat : Many long-term survivors of childhood cancer (LTSCC), individuals at least 5 years post-diagnosis or 2 years post-treatment, experience late- and long-term effects from their treatments, including pain. Yet, pain is poorly understood among LTSCC. The current study aimed to (1a) describe rates and multiple dimensions of pain; (1b) identify patterns of chronic pain; and (2) test correlates of chronic pain in LTSCC. Survivors (n = 140; 48.6% male, Mage = 17.3 years (range = 8–25)) were [...]

Menée à partir de données portant sur 335 patientes âgées ayant survécu à un cancer du sein (âge moyen : 69,79 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre des dysfonctionnements cognitifs et physiques, des comorbidités et la qualité de vie

Comorbidity, cognitive dysfunction, physical functioning, and quality of life in older breast cancer survivors

Crouch, Adele ; Champion, Victoria L. ; Von Ah, Diane

Purpose : Older breast cancer survivors (BCS) may be at greater risk for cognitive dysfunction and other comorbidities; both of which may be associated with physical and emotional well-being. This study will seek to understand these relationships by examining the association between objective and subjective cognitive dysfunction and physical functioning and quality of life (QoL) and moderated by comorbidities in older BCS. Methods : A secondary data analysis was conducted on data from 335 BCS [...]

This study aimed to determine the proportion of parents who show dysfunctional levels of FoP, to investigate gender differences, and to examine factors associated with FoP in mothers and fathers. Methods : Five hundred sixteen parents of pediatric cancer survivors (aged 0–17 years at diagnosis of [...]

A partir d'une revue de la littérature publiée jusqu'en juin 2020 (10 études), cette étude analyse les effets biologiques et psychologiques des interventions de psychothérapies basées sur le concept de la pleine conscience chez des patients atteints d'un cancer ou ayant survécu à la maladie

Evidence of psychological and biological effects of structured Mindfulness-Based Interventions for cancer patients and survivors: a meta-review

Pedro, Juliana ; Monteiro-Reis, Sara ; Carvalho-Maia, Carina ; Henrique, Rui ; Jeronimo, Carmen ; Silva, Eunice R.

Objective : A large number of studies have been conducted exploring the effects of Mindfulness programs on health outcomes, such as psychological and biological outcomes. However, there is substantial heterogeneity among studies and, consequently, in the systematic reviews/meta-analyses. Since clinical practice is massively informed by evidence on review studies, our main objective was to summarize the reported evidence regarding the effects of structured Mindfulness-based programs on [...]

Menée en Allemagne auprès de patients atteints d'un cancer et traités en milieu hospitalier, cette étude transversale analyse l'association entre une détresse psychique et la présence d'idées suicidaires

Suicidal ideation, distress, and related factors in a population of cancer patients treated in a general acute hospital

Senf, Bianca ; Bender, Bernd ; Fettel, Jens

Purpose : Suicidality and suicidal ideation (SI) in oncology has long been an underestimated danger. Although there are cancer-specific distress screening tools available, none of these specifically incorporates items for SI. We examined the prevalence of SI in cancer patients, investigated the relation between SI and distress, and tried to identify additional associated factors. Methods : A cross-sectional study with patients treated for cancer in a primary care hospital was conducted. [...]

Jelvehzadeh, Faranak ; Dogaheh, Ebrahim Rezaei ; Bernstein, Colleen ; Shakiba, Shima ; Ranjbar, Hadi

Purpose : While the rate of survival has increased in the past decade, the diagnosis of breast cancer is an extremely stressful experience for patients and it is associated with the manifestation of several psychological problems. To examine the effect of a group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on the quality of life and emotional disturbance of women with breast cancer. Methods : The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. Samples were 48 women who had been diagnosed with breast [...]

Menée dans un contexte américain à partir de données portant sur 16 341 femmes recevant une IRM pour détecter un éventuel cancer du sein entre 2009 et 2017, cette étude analyse les coûts restant à leur charge

Cost-Sharing and Out-of-Pocket Cost for Women Who Received MRI for Breast Cancer Screening

Pan, I-Wen ; Oeffinger, Kevin C ; Shih, Ya-Chen Tina

Background : The financial protection of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) prevention provision doesn’t apply to breast MRI but only to mammography for breast cancer screening. The purpose of the study is to examine the financial burden among women who received breast MRI for screening. Methods : This observational study used the Marketscan® database. Women underwent breast MRI between 2009 and 2017 and had screening mammography within 6 months of the MRI were included. We compared the time trend [...]

Cette étude analyse la qualité et la pertinence de l'information sur le cancer disponible sur les médias sociaux (200 articles analysés)

Cancer Misinformation and Harmful Information on Facebook and Other Social Media: A Brief Report

Johnson, Skyler B ; Parsons, Matthew ; Dorff, Tanya ; Moran, Meena S ; Ward, John H ; Cohen, Stacey A ; Akerley, Wallace ; Bauman, Jessica ; Hubbard, Joleen ; Spratt, Daniel E ; Bylund, Carma L ; Swire-Thompson, Briony ; Onega, Tracy ; Scherer, Laura D ; Tward, Jonathan ; Fagerlin, Angela
