Filter by:Peripheral neuropathy resulting from chemotherapy is a problem that concerns not only the individual but also their relatives and all healthcare personnel responsible for care. Studies to be carried out in this area are important in terms of providing evidence for nurses' practices and supporting the individual by alleviating the symptoms of the disease. Based on this information, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of menthol application, which will be applied to the hands and feet of breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, on CIPN.
Several experiences of multidisciplinary care pathways associating oncologists, pharmacists and nurses have been reported for cancer patients, with positive results on medication management safety, reduction of Drug-Related Problems (DRPs), and re-hospitalizations. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary city-hospital follow-up program on medication management safety in haematological oncology patients receiving intravenous chemotherapy in onco-haematology. Additional aspects will be evaluated, such as the impact of the follow-up on the city-hospital link, satisfaction of patients and professionals involved in the follow-up and the use of telecare
Anthracyclines are one of the most well-known and effective drugs used to treat malignancies.The most important limiting factor in the use of this drug is its cardiac toxicity which includes cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Bisoprlol is a β1-specific β-blocker that can reduce cardiac overload and also have anti-inflammatory antioxidant effects and can reduce reactive oxygen metabolites so it can be used as a cardioprotective agent in patients with a high risk of heart failure. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been performed to evaluate the prophylactic effect of bisoprolol solely in patients under chemotherapy with anthracyclines. This study is aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective role of bisoprolol in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer receiving doxorubicin, by measuring global longitudinal strain before and after treatment.
Getting a cancer diagnosis, the difficult treatments applied and the side effects that occur completely affect the life of the patient, shaking his future plans and adaptation mechanisms. In recent years, the role of healthcare professionals has included counseling and promoting positive health behaviors to reduce disease and treatment side effects and increase adherence to disease. The service provided by healthcare professionals to patients has started to move to digital environments with the developing technology and the concept of e-health has been born. Offering e-health support as part of regular care has become a powerful tool to help cancer patients manage their disease. Web-based interventions or mobile applications provide an opportunity for improved communication and better information exchange between healthcare professionals and patients. In addition, education of cancer patients and patient self-management allow for better clinical outcomes using e-health or mobile health applications. The widespread use of smartphones enables cancer patients to be supported from different perspectives through mobile applications. When the studies are examined, it is noteworthy that mobile applications developed for female cancer patients are predominantly related to breast cancer. Most of the technology-based researches on gynecological cancers are studies conducted through text message intervention, online web-based interventions or social media tools such as Facebook and WeChat. For this reason, the aim of this study is to develop a mobile application to increase physical and psychosocial adjustment for gynecological cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and to investigate its effectiveness.
The current study aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography- Computed Tomography (PET-CT) in predicting a pathological response of molecular subtypes of breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
The purpose of the study is to see whether or not a telephone/ text message intervention, delivered by a registered nurse, is helpful in managing symptoms and can also prevent dehydration caused by chemotherapy treatment when given together for patients with metastatic breast, colon, lung or prostate cancer.
To assess the role of docetaxel and irinotecan combination in second line gastric cancer. The primary end point is response rate. Secondary end points are toxicity, PFS and OS.
In this study, the investigators designed a treatment regimen including the most active agents in pancreatic cancer which are gemcitabine and fluorouracil to be tested as a first line treatment. This regimen is expected to be less toxic than FOLFIRINOX and aiming at better outcomes.
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether patients who previously had endoprosthesis surgery experience memory, thinking, or heart problems. It will also help determine how often these problems occur.
Currently, there is a lack of patient education materials regarding cytotoxic chemotherapy side effects, research supported treatments, and the utilization of CAM by cancer patients at Penn State Cancer Institute. The investigators aim to develop an educational brochure, which educates patients about the chemotherapy side effects they may experience, and provide them with the tools to address the problem themselves, know when to contact their medical oncologist, and understand when it is appropriate to go to the Emergency Department. By educating patients regarding these problems, patient anxiety may decrease, the number of calls into the oncologist office may decrease, and Emergency Department visits may decrease, which would decrease costs for the patient, the hospital, and the health system. If this intervention is found to be useful and impactful, it can be further utilized within the Cancer Institute by other disease teams, by other Penn State institutions, or by other institutions across the country.
