Unmet Supportive Care Needs of Patients with Hematological Malignancies: A Systematic Review.

Hematological malignancies require intensive and long-term treatment, which brings a significant burden on patients, leading to unmet supportive care needs. The purpose of this review was to investigate the unmet supportive care needs of patients with hematological malignancies during and after active treatment as well as the factors that affect them. A systematic bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed database for English articles published between 2009 and 2020 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines and under the terms: "unmet needs", "suppor

Practical Guidance for the Expanded Implementation and Provision of Bispecific Antibodies for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Across Canada.

(1) Background: Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) can be delivered in ambulatory healthcare settings; however, the safe and effective management of potential side effects, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), requires protocolized monitoring and management. (2) Methods: An Expert Working Group (EWG) of nine hematologists from across Canada, with experience in leading BsAb program implementation, combined a review of published literature, a comparison of national/provincial/regional guidance documents and protoco

Effectiveness and moderators of cancer patient-caregiver dyad interventions in improving psychological distress: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ObjectiveAs patients and family caregivers are increasingly viewed as a dyadic whole, growing studies have emerged that identify ways to improve the two parties' emotional distress. However, the specific effectiveness, quality, and optimal intervention details of these studies are unclear. Our objective is to synthesize the effectiveness of existing dyadic interventions for improving the psychological distress of cancer patient-caregiver dyads and identify potential moderators that influence intervention effectiveness.MethodsPubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINHAL, Embase, and Clinica

Challenges in the cultural adaptation of the German Myeloma Patient Outcome Scale (MyPOS): an outcome measure to support routine symptom assessment in myeloma care.

BACKGROUND: Patients with multiple myeloma report more problems with quality of life (QoL) than other haematological malignancies over the course of their incurable illness. The patient-centred Myeloma Patient Outcome Scale (MyPOS) was developed to assess and monitor symptoms and supportive care factors in routine care. Our aim was to translate and culturally adapt the outcome measure to the German context, and to explore its face and content validity. METHODS: Translation and cultural adaptation following established guidelines used an exploratory, sequential mixed method study design. Steps

A Qualitative Investigation of Health Care Professionals', Patients' and Partners' Views on Psychosocial Issues and Related Interventions for Couples Coping with Cancer.

IntroductionThere is growing evidence that cancer affects couples as an interdependent system and that couple-based psychosocial interventions are efficacious in reducing distress and improving coping skills. However, adoption of a couples-focused approach into cancer care is limited. Previous research has shown that patients and partners hold differing views from health care professionals (HCPs) regarding their psychosocial needs, and HCPs from different disciplines also hold divergent views regarding couples' psychosocial needs. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of HCPs and couple

Development of Psychosocial Distress in Cancer Survivors and Its Potential Prognostic Impact on Survival: A Scoping Review.

BackgroundWhile single-point assessments of psychosocial distress have been associated with survival outcomes, investigations examining longitudinal changes in psychosocial distress and survival outcomes remain limited.AimsThis scoping review evaluates existing literature on longitudinal distress patterns and their association with survival outcomes.MethodsA comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo databases up to January 2025. Studies were eligible if they included adult cancer survivors, measured psychological distress using validated instruments at minimum

Biosensors, Artificial Intelligence Biosensors, False Results and Novel Future Perspectives.

Medical biosensors have set the basis of medical diagnostics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has boosted diagnostics to a great extent. However, false results are evident in every method, so it is crucial to identify the reasons behind a possible false result in order to control its occurrence. This is the first critical state-of-the-art review article to discuss all the commonly used biosensor types and the reasons that can give rise to potential false results. Furthermore, AI is discussed in parallel with biosensors and their misdiagnoses, and again some reasons for possible false results

Cardiovascular and Cancer Risk: The Role of Cardio-oncology.

Cardio-oncology is a subspecialty of cardiology. It was created to address oncology data indicating that newly developed drugs for cancer treatment were having unanticipated cardiac side effects. Cardio-oncology designs primary and secondary risk strategies through surveillance as well as interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk (CVR), prevent cardiotoxicities, and manage the side effects that may occur. Rather than discuss in detail the cardiotoxicities of specific therapies or radiation, this review article will explore the interplay of cancer, cancer treatment, and CVR. It will examine t

Antitumoral Effects of Tricyclic Antidepressants: Beyond Neuropathic Pain Treatment.

Growing evidence shows that nerves play an active role in cancer development and progression by altering crucial molecular pathways and cell functions. Conversely, the use of neurotropic drugs, such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), may modulate these molecular signals with a therapeutic purpose based on a direct antitumoral effect and beyond the TCA use to treat neuropathic pain in oncology patients. In this review, we discuss the TCAs' safety and their central effects against neuropathic pain in cancer, and the antitumoral effects of TCAs in in vitro and preclinical studies, as well as in

Обобщение и оценка 6-ариламинобензамидов в качестве позитронных фотографических лигандов для рецептора фингозина-1-фосфата-5.

Спингосин-1-фосфат-5 (S1P5) является одним из пяти мембранных белковых рецепторов G, которые активируются лизофосфолипидом, фосфатом-1, что приводит к регулированию многих клеточных процессов. Рецепторы S1P5 расположены на олигодендроцитах и предлагаются для оказания влияния на физиологию олигодендроцитов. Понимание модуляции S1P5 в ходе таких процессов, как ремиелионация, может иметь потенциальные возможности для демиелионизации расстройств CNS, таких, как множественный склероз (MS). В этой связи мы сообщаем об обобщении и предварительной оценке серии фторированных 6-ариламинобензамидов в кач
