Clinical case management and navigation for colonoscopy screening in an academic medical center
CONCLUSIONSAcademic medical centers can be efficient models for providing CRC screening to disadvantaged populations. Coordination of care by a preventive medicine department, directing the recruitment, scheduling, prescreening education, and the evaluation and preparation of target populations had an overall positive effect on CRC screening with colonoscopy among patients from a community health center.

Abstract B75: Referral and completion rates for colorectal cancer screening with fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in a medical home for underserved populations
This study assessed the referral and completion rates of colorectal cancer screening with fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in a primary care medical home serving an underserved population.The Good Samaritan Clinic (Clinic) provides medical care to over 600 uninsured clients annually and is staffed by volunteer health care providers (Providers). All clients have an income at or below 200 % of the Federal Poverty Line; 63.8 % are Latino or Hispanic, 22.3 % are non-Hispanic Caucasians, and 10.1 % are African American. Acute client care for co-morbidities such as hypertension and uncontrolled diabetes is often the focus of clin...

Abstract A19: Advocate Abstract: Survivors Teaching Students(R): Educating Medical and other Health Professional Students about Ovarian Cancer
"The goal of Survivors Teaching Students (STS) is for future physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and physician assistants to be able to diagnose ovarian cancer when it is in its earlier, most treatable stages. Survivors Teaching Students is offered in 96 medical schools, 103 nursing schools, 13 Nurse Practitioner schools, 26 Physician Assistant schools, and 12 allied health programs across the United States. Active programs exist in 34 states, the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, the United Kingdom and Canada. In 2015, the program educated 10,750 students, a 10% increase over the previous year. As of June, 2016, S...

Prognostic Value of Knowledge of Cancer and Used Unconventional Therapy Methods on Quality of Life in Advanced, Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Clinical Practice
In this study, we assessed the impact of oncology knowledge on QOL and the relationship between QOL and various environmental factors and unconventional treatment methods in patients with CRC treated with chemotherapy and targeted therapy. The results of first-line palliative chemotherapy in 330 patients with colorectal cancer treated between January 2010 and December 2016 in two centers were analyzed. The average age of patients was 66  ± 11.7 years. Median survival time was 25 months. In multivariate analysis, the performance status and response to treatment had a significant effect on survival time. A trend towar...

Early tumor shrinkage after first-line medical treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: ETS is a simple and interesting intermediate endpoint for clinical practice and future trials of medical treatments of patients with mCRC, but a large prospective analysis and validation are mandatory. PMID: 30719690 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Medical Oncologists' Perspectives on How the Results of the IDEA Collaboration Impact the Adjuvant Treatment of Stage III Colon Cancer.
CONCLUSION: IDEA appears to have shifted clinician preference from FOLFOX to CAPOX for adjuvant therapy, and most clinicians now use a risk-stratified approach in determining duration of adjuvant therapy. Patient education resources may facilitate better communication of IDEA results to patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This global survey illustrates that most gastrointestinal medical oncologists now use a risk-stratified approach for determining the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer. Clinicians are five times more likely to choose CAPOX over FOLFOX after the International Duration Evalua...

The effect of exercise-based interventions on health-related quality of life and physical function in older patients with cancer receiving medical antineoplastic treatments: a systematic review
AbstractOlder patients with cancer are underrepresented in trials investigating the effect of exercise therapy. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of exercise therapy during medical antineoplastic treatment in older patients ( ≥ 65 years) with cancer. A systematic review following the Cochrane guidelines was performed. Randomized controlled trials were identified through a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL up to December 2019. Study selection was performed independently by two review ers. Four randomized controlled trials published between 2014 and 2019 we...

Primary and Secondary Prevention Interventions to Reduce Risk Factors Associated with Colorectal Cancer in High-Risk Groups: a Systematic Literature Review
This study systematically reviewed articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, and EBSCO using specific search terms to find relevant articles. Sixteen articles were identified for full-text review, which were categorized as non-drug interventions (n = 7) and drug interventions (n = 9). Non-drug interventions focused primarily on increasing screening in those with a first-degree relative (FDR) with CRC or those with Lynch syndrome (LS). Interventions that increased CRC screening often had a tailored component and were otherwise varied in study designs and intervention ty pe. Drug interventions focused on the use of NSAID...

Dexamethasone to prednisolone rotation relieved hiccups in colorectal cancer patient continuing teleworking during anticancer therapy
We present a case of chemotherapy-induced hiccups that were alleviated by steroid rotation. Hiccups are often overlooked, but they have an impact on the patient's quality of life. In the COVID-19 era, web-based teleworking has become an important tool, hiccups during a teleconference should be noted as a concern for patients.PMID:37351354 | PMC:PMC10282110 | DOI:10.1002/ccr3.7367

Are oestrogens and genetic predisposition etiologic factors in the development of clear cell carcinoma of the peritoneum?
Abstract: A literature search was carried out for clinical observations that could explain the possible aetiology of primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma (CCC) including diagnostic dilemmas, various theories of origin, oestrogen dependence and genetic association. It was found to be an extremely rare tumour (CCC) arising in the peritoneum and is often misdiagnosed as mesothelioma or serous carcinoma or metastatic adenocarcinoma due to overlapping morphological features. The awareness of such dilemmas is important even before making a diagnosis. Clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical studies like WT1, CK20 ...

Long-Term Cancer Survivors May Be At Increased Risk For Heart Disease
Many people survive their cancers, but end up dying of cardiovascular disease (CVD). New research from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center finds that CVD risk factors may be overlooked during survivorship care. Kathryn E. Weaver, Ph.D., assistant professor of social sciences and health policy at Wake Forest Baptist, and colleagues surveyed survivors of breast, prostate, colorectal and gynecologic cancers in search of answers...

Primary sclerosing cholangitis: a clinical update
Introduction Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive cholestatic disorder that ultimately can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, malignancy and death. It is strongly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and though a rare disease, its incidence is increasing. There are no proven medical therapies for PSC. Sources of data Ovid Medline was utilised to search for articles with keywords ‘sclerosing cholangitis’ and ‘cholangiocarcinoma’ and containing titles ‘primary sclerosing cholangitis’, and references of these papers were cross-referenced for further relevant ma...
