Meaningful Patient Engagement in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Research: A Framework for Qualitative Studies
Curr Oncol. 2024 Mar 22;31(4):1689-1700. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040128.ABSTRACTOver the last two decades, patient engagement in cancer research has evolved significantly, especially in addressing the unique challenges faced by adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer populations. This paper introduces a framework for meaningful engagement with AYA cancer patient research partners, drawing insights from the "FUTURE" Study, a qualitative study that utilizes focus groups to explore the impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment on the sexual and reproductive health of AYA cancer patients in Canada. The framework's development i...

An Evaluation of Racial and Ethnic Representation in Research Conducted with Young Adults Diagnosed with Cancer: Challenges and Considerations for Building More Equitable and Inclusive Research Practices
Curr Oncol. 2024 Apr 15;31(4):2244-2259. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040166.ABSTRACTThe psychosocial outcomes of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer are poorer compared to their peers without cancer. However, AYAs with cancer from diverse racial and ethnic groups have been under-represented in research, which contributes to an incomplete understanding of the psychosocial outcomes of all AYAs with cancer. This paper evaluated the racial and ethnic representation in research on AYAs diagnosed with cancer using observational, cross-sectional data from the large Young Adults with Cancer in Their Prime (YACPRI...

Quality-of-Life Assessment in Pediatric Advanced Cancer: Development of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measure < em > Advance QoL < /em >
Curr Oncol. 2024 Apr 19;31(4):2289-2304. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040170.ABSTRACTA recent measure was developed to assess the Quality of Life (QoL) of young people with advanced cancer and is available for parents and professionals (Advance QoL). The present study aimed to elaborate self-reported versions for children and adolescents with advanced cancer. We adopted a four-phase research plan: (1) to elaborate the Advance QoL questionnaire for youth (8-12 and 13-18 years old) with a team of young research partners; (2) to evaluate the understandability of these versions in a sample of 12 young patients from the target popul...

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatric oncology patients: 2023 recommendations from the Supportive Care Committee of the French Society of Cancer in Children and Adolescents
Bull Cancer. 2024 Apr 25:S0007-4551(24)00123-1. doi: 10.1016/j.bulcan.2024.02.017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are frequent and dreaded side effects in cancer treatments. CINV has a major impact on patient's condition and quality of life. Prophylaxis is tailored to patient's profile and the emetogenic level of their chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to update the recommendations for CINV prevention and management in pediatric onco-hematology for use in France, by adapting the guidelines of the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO).

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1694: Proton Therapy in Non-Rhabdomyosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcomas of Children and Adolescents
asanova
Ferrari
This paper provides insights into the use of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) in pediatric patients with non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTS). NRSTS are a heterogeneous group of rare and aggressive mesenchymal extraskeletal tumors, presenting complex and challenging clinical management scenarios. The overall survival rate for patients with NRSTS is around 70%, but the outcome is strictly related to the presence of various variables, such as the histological subtype, grade of malignancy and tumor stage at diagnosis. Multimodal therapy is typically considered the preferred treatment for high-grad...

Sex-specificity in Surgical Stages of Lung Cancer in Young Adults
CONCLUSION: Our study identified sex differences in the incidence and mortality rates for surgical lung cancers in young adults, but the biological and endocrine mechanisms implicated in these disparities have not yet been determined.PMID:38660429 | PMC:PMC11041390 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-230818-2022-20 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Kids SIPsmartER reduces sugar-sweetened beverages among Appalachian middle-school students and their caregivers: a cluster randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Kids SIPsmartER was effective at reducing SSB consumption among students and their caregivers in the rural, medically underserved Appalachian region. Importantly, SSB effects were even stronger among students and caregivers who were high consumers at baseline.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clincialtrials.gov: NCT03740113.
