Childhood cancer survivors are vulnerable to treatment-related late effects, including physical and psychosocial morbidities, subsequent malignancies, and premature death. Symptom assessment provides a unique insight into survivorship care since symptoms not only indicate the manifestation for the occurrence of chronic health conditions, but also impact quality of life and survival. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has developed a Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) to assess symptomatic adverse events (AEs) for adult-onset cancer patients who are receiving cancer therapies. However, content-appropriate and clinically validated symptom assessment tools for adult survivors of childhood cancer are not available. Primary Object 1: Establish content validity for the PRO-CTCAE-SCC Primary Objective 1A: Conduct a symptom selection process through qualitative research to identify symptomatic AEs for adult survivors of childhood cancer Primary Objective 1B: Create symptomatic AE items for adult survivors of childhood cancer based on the prevalence and clinical importance ratings on the items Primary Objective 2: Validate the PRO-CTCAE-SCC using psychometric methods and objective clinical parameters Primary Objective 2A: Test dimensionality for the PRO-CTCAE-SCC Primary Objective 2B: Test clinical validity for the PRO-CTCAE-SCC Primary Objective 2C: Test responsiveness to change for the PRO-CTCAE-SCC Secondary Objective 1: Increase clinical usefulness of the PRO-CTCAE-SCC Secondary Objective 2: Establish meaningful cut-points and minimally important differences (MIDs) on symptom burden scores for clinical decision-making
In Singapore, cancer patients are not consistently assessed for unmet survivorship care needs and systematically identified for subsequent referral to useful care services. To address this gap, a preliminary multidisciplinary program is developed to (i) routinely screen and identify cancer patients with high distress levels, and (ii) provide appropriate care referrals after a systematic review by a supportive care nurse. This study hypothesized that breast and gynecological cancer patients receiving timely screening for distress and appropriate supportive care services will report better improvement in quality of life as compared to non-recipients under usual care. This pilot study then aims to evaluate: (i) The effectiveness of the program on a patient level in improving the quality of life and the symptom burden of patients requiring further supportive services. (ii) The feasibility of the program's implementation on a health-system level among breast and gynaecological cancer patients in the outpatient oncology clinics at a specialty cancer centre.
The aim of the study is to establish the highest level of evidence to evaluate treatment summary and survivorship care plans (TSSPs) by piloting the TSSPs on patients with HNC. Hypothesis: HNC patients who receive the intervention of the TSSP will have an increased rate of implementation of recommendations for their needs, greater adherence with follow-up schedules, improved quality of life and improved satisfaction with post-treatment care. Aim 1 (Validation of TSSP): To validate a treatment summary and survivorship care plan (TSSP) intervention specifically tailored to the needs of HNC patients based on the best available evidence. Approach: In the first phase of the project the investigators will pilot the London Heath Sciences Centre TSSP with head and neck cancer survivors and then have the TSSP extensively reviewed and modified by our multidisciplinary head and neck oncology treatment team. Aim 2 (Evaluation of TSSP): To evaluate the implementation of a TSSP in survivors of head and neck cancer compared to usual treatment in a randomized fashion to determine whether TSSPs result in improved implementation of recommendations for HNC survivors and improved quality of life and satisfaction. Approach: In the second phase of the project the investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare patient reported outcomes in HNC patients who have received the TSSP to patients who have not received the TSSP.
This is prospective cohort study. All the patients with primary cervical cancer in the future three years in Peking Union Medical College Hospital will be included in this study. Before and after the major therapy (including at least radical hysterectomy and/or radiotherapy), the patients accept (1) the questionnaires survey about quality of life; (2) urodynamic testing; (3) rectum dynamics testing and (4) ovarian reserve function. The survival outcomes (disease-free survival and overall survival) will be supplemented as secondary objectives.
The aim is to analyse the effect of a Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme in several clinical and functional outcomes in cancer patient and survivors
This study is an NCI-funded, randomized control pilot trial to evaluate: (1) the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, personalized navigation tool (ConnectedCancerCare) and (2) explore whether the tool improves delivery of team-based survivorship care for women who have recently finished primary breast cancer treatment.
The purpose of this project was to test the efficacy of partnering with a community-led wellness program to reduce disease risk and increase wellness among breast cancer survivors. Information gathered will serve the dual purpose of testing intervention effectiveness and providing the community organization data to be used to secure sustainability funding
This is a prospective multi-center clinical evaluation following recipients of the G7 Dual Mobility hip device. The primary objective is to characterize survivorship of the G7 hip at five years post-index procedure. Secondary objectives include documentation of clinical outcomes, safety and radiographic data.
This clinical trial studies a mobile health fitness program for adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors. Adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors are at risk to have negative late effects from treatment and to develop chronic health conditions. A sedentary lifestyle may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and early mortality. Physical activity reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease and early mortality, improves cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, bone health, and body composition, and it is also positively associated with quality of life. Programs and technologies that promote physical activity are important because health behaviors adopted by adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors are likely to continue into adulthood. A mobile health fitness application may motivate adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors to engage and maintain physical activity.
