Filter by:The research aims to collect data in order to report the main problems related to the testicular cancer; To reach this aim, this study proposes to create a database of the testicular cancer condition. From this perspective, the aim of this project is the improving of scientific knowledge of the disease and develop appropriate and effective procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a digital health program called AYA STEPS, which is designed to help adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors manage symptoms and engage in recommended follow-up care.
This study aims to determine the effect of education based on the health belief model on testicular self-examination awareness and health beliefs in young men. H0 Hypothesis: Education based on the health belief model has no effect on the awareness of testicular self-examination and health beliefs about testicular self-examination of young men in the experimental and control groups. H1a Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the awareness of young men in the experimental group about testicular self-examination compared to those in the control group. H1b Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the sensitivity subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1c Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the benefit subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1d Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the seriousness subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1e Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will decrease the mean scores of the barriers subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1f Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the health motivation subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1g Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the self-efficacy subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group.
The aim of study is to differentiate between testicular tumors by their elastographic criteria (Stiffness [hard to soft] , Shape under compression , etc.) using ultrasound elastography techniques (shear wave/strain elastography) on suspected testicle that showed specific lesion on normal ultrasound examination.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed with cancer experience unique challenges after completing treatment and face distinct barriers to optimal care and support. These challenges include higher levels of symptom burden and treatment complications, interrupted education, careers and relationships, and financial hardship. AYA lack access to peers, relevant information and emotional support, and report gaps in care when dealing with these difficult challenges. Digital peer navigation could help to address the needs of AYA and overcome barriers to care and support. The PI developed True North Peer Navigation (TrueNTH-PN), an evidence-based digital peer navigation program for men with prostate cancer and online peer navigator training course. The goal of this project is to adapt TrueNTH-PN for AYA and evaluate its feasibility to overcome barriers to care and support, and enhance patient activation among AYA during the challenging post-treatment phase. In partnership with AYA cancer survivors, the Canadian Cancer Society, Young Adult Cancer Canada, a digital app design firm and technology provider, our cross-Canada team will: (1) Adapt and evaluate the usability of the TrueNTH-PN app for AYA; (2) Adapt and evaluate the effectiveness of the Peer Navigator Training Course for AYA; and (3) Determine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of the new AYA-PN program among post-treatment AYA cancer survivors. This project will produce an innovative solution to an important service gap in the lives of AYA with cancer. It has the potential to address the support needs of AYA, overcome barriers to care, and empower AYA to take proactive role in managing their health. In addition, it will give rise to AYA peer navigators with specialized skills, which could fill gaps in disrupted education and career paths, and help to attain future goals.
The project aims to identify the possible risk factors regarding the onset of the disease and to evaluate genes and gene modifications responsible for the onset od testicular cancer.
To evaluate the feasibility of introducing a men's cancer survivorship programme into routine follow up care in patients with advanced genitourinary malignancies.
Clinical research participation has historically been heavily biased toward specific demographics. Several people will be invited to enroll in this study so that it may collect a variety of data about testicular cancer clinical study experiences and identify barriers to participation as well as the causes of participants' failure or withdrawal. People with testicular cancer who are invited to take part in medical research will benefit from the analysis of the data.
This research study is a pilot clinical trial, which hypothesizes that the combination of electromagnetic tracking in conjunction with laparoscope imaging and ultrasound probe imaging will aid in reducing the complexity of both laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and/or organ removal in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer in urologic regions of interest (Bladder, Prostate, Testicular, Kidney, Urethral, and Penis), by resulting in better visualization and more accurate localization of certain areas in the diseased organ or the diseased lymph node, and allowing for improved surgical and patient outcomes, fewer complications and better clinician performance.
The MyBrain study investigates the brain function of children, adolescents and young adults during and after chemo treatment for cancer. The tests include 1) cognitive skills such as memory and attention; 2) the brain's electrical activity; 3) and biological markers related to brain function. The aim of the study is to better understand the trajectories of cognitive functioning and measures that have been associated with cognitive impairment in patients treated with chemotherapy.
