Effect of Acupuncture in Pain Management of Head and Neck Cancer Radiotherapy: Prospective Randomized Unicentric Study.

This prospective randomized open-label trial aimed to evaluate the role of acupuncture in the treatment of pain related to curative and adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy of head and neck cancer. Patients in two arms (30 patients in each arm) underwent standard oncology therapy and standard supportive care with or without acupuncture. The stratification factors were the type of treatment and chemotherapy indication. The toxicity assessed was represented by pain rated on a 10-point pain scale and analgesic use. Average pain (AP) and the worst pain during the day (WP) were significantly lower in the a

Comparison of outcome of patients with CLL who are referred or nonreferred to a specialized CLL clinic: a Canadian population-based study.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) patients in Manitoba are either referred to the CLL Clinic at CancerCare Manitoba (CCMB) or are followed by other hematologists and general practitioners. However, it has been unclear whether referral to the CLL clinic influences patient outcome. Overall survival (OS) was assessed for all CLL/SLL patients diagnosed in Manitoba between 2007 and 2011. Of 555 patients, 281 (51%) were referred to the CLL clinic. Patients seen in this clinic had a twofold increased OS compared to patients who were managed by other hematologists a

"Just Another Statistic".

On returning from a medical meeting, we learned that sadly a patient, "Mr. B.," had passed away. His death was a completely unexpected surprise. He had been doing well nine months after a course of intensive radiotherapy for a locally advanced head and neck cancer; in his most recent follow-up notes, he was described as a "complete remission." Nonetheless, he apparently died peacefully in his sleep from a cardiac arrest one night and was found the next day by a concerned neighbor. In our absence, after Mr. B. expired, his death certificate was filled out by a physician who didn't know him in d

Неполный синдром Браун-Секвар, вторичный по сравнению с гематомилией, вызванной аценокоумаролом: отчет о деле.

Внутреннее кровоизлияние в спинной мозг, известное также как гематомия, является необычным, но клинически значимым заболеванием. На него приходится около 0,82% всех спинных гематом, что делает его одной из наименее часто встречающихся этиологических причин острой миэлопатии. Гематомиелия может быть результатом различных причин, включая сосудистые дефекты (такие, как пещерные или артериогенные свищи), кровотечения диатеза, опухоли спинного мозга, травмы или осложнения, связанные с антикоагуляционной терапией. КИСЛОТА: Здесь мы описываем пациента на аценокоумароле, у которого появился неполный с

Оценка когнитивных результатов в множестве склерозов: Реальное влияние Ozanimod на скорость обработки с использованием BICAMS.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Когнитивная дисфункция представляет собой основное бремя множественного склероза (МС). Воздействие озанимодов на когнитивные результаты в реальных условиях еще предстоит выяснить в полной мере. МЕТОДЫ: В ходе исследования, проведенного в одном центре наблюдения, мы провели оценку когнитивных показателей у 67 пациентов, у которых MS (74,6% женщин) получают озанимод (менее продолжительность лечения 17,7 ± 3,0 месяца). Когнитивная оценка проводилась с использованием краткой международной когнитивной оценки аккумулятора с множественным склерозом (BICAMS), включавшего испытание с использо

A registry study of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma pre-exposed to three or more prior therapies including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and CD38-targeted monoclonal antibody therapy in England.

Some patients with multiple myeloma are receiving treatment in clinical practice in England after prior exposure to a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. We investigated the characteristics of these patients, their outcomes, and the salvage therapies they received using the national cancer registry for England and linked healthcare data. After a median follow-up time of 6.4 months from T 0, median overall survival and time to next treatment were 8.2 and 5.3 months, respectively. This real-world data provide useful clinical insight into a littl

Catchment area and cancer population health research through a novel population-based statewide database: a scoping review.

BackgroundPopulation-based linked datasets are vital to generate catchment area and population health research. The novel Cancer Information and Population Health Resource (CIPHR) links statewide cancer registry data, public and private insurance claims, and provider- and area-level data, representing more than 80% of North Carolina's large, diverse population of individuals diagnosed with cancer. This scoping review of articles that used CIPHR data characterizes the breadth of research generated and identifies further opportunities for population-based health research.MethodsArticles publishe

Developing a pan-cancer research autopsy programme.

AimsRapid procurement of a wide variety of metastatic and primary cancers and normal tissues after death through rapid autopsy opens largely unexplored avenues in cancer research. We describe a high-volume rapid research autopsy programme at a large academic medical centre.MethodsAdvanced-stage cancer patients, most commonly inpatients in palliative care facilities, were approached to participate in a cancer research autopsy programme with the goal of acquiring multidimensionally annotated tissue for cancer research. On death of an enrolled patient, a predetermined notification plan was enacte

Patients' Perceptions of Physician-Patient Discussions and Adverse Events with Cancer Therapy.

OBJECTIVES: Patients with cancer who are treated with chemotherapy report adverse events during their treatment, which can affect their quality of life and increase the likelihood that their treatment will not be completed. In this study, patients' perceptions of the physician-patient relationship and communication about cancer-related issues, particularly adverse events were examined. METHODS: We surveyed 508 patients with cancer concerning the occurrence of adverse events and their relationship and communication with their physicians regarding cancer, treatment, and adverse events. RESULTS:

The effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate gel (Gelclair) on oral microbial colonization and pain control compared with other rinsing solutions in patients with oral mucositis after allogeneic stem cells transplantation.

BackgroundGelclair is an oral lubricating gel used in the management of oral mucositis (OM). We evaluated its efficacy, tolerance and impact on oral cavity microbial colonization in patients with OM after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation.Material/methodGelclair was administered in a group of 22 patients with active OM. A control group of 15 patients used other rinsing solutions (chlorhexidine, benzydamine, salvia). Tests with oral cavity swabs for microbiology analysis were performed once a week.ResultsThe characteristics of OM in both groups were comparable, and rinsing sol
