Knowledge, goals, and misperceptions about palliative care in adults with chronic disease or cancer
We examined the knowledge of and misconceptions about palliative care among these groups.METHODS: We used weighted data from the National Cancer Institute Health Information National Trends Survey 5 (Cycle 2) for nationally representative estimates and logistic regression to adjust for respondent characteristics. We identified respondents who reported having (1) cancer ([n = 585]; breast, lung, and colorectal), (2) chronic conditions ([n = 543]; heart failure, lung disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder), or (3) neither cancer nor other chronic conditions (n = 2,376).RESULTS: Compared to cancer respondents, chr...

Primary care providers ’ cancer genetic testing-related knowledge, attitudes, and communication behaviors: A systematic review and research agenda
DiscussionThis review indicates a need for investigators to move beyond descriptive research questions related to PCPs ’ knowledge and attitudes about cancer genetic testing. Research is needed to address important gaps regarding the development, testing, and implementation of innovative interventions and educational programs that can improve PCPs’ genetic testing knowledge, assuage concerns about the appropriat eness of cancer genetic testing, and promote open and effective patient-provider communication about genetic risk and genetic testing.

Transcript of Dr. Bihari Video
00:00 to 02.26—Dr. Bihari gives his background and credentials.
Dr. Bihari: My medical training started at Harvard Medical School. I graduated in 1957. Then I trained in Internal Medicine at one of the Harvard teaching hospitals in Boston, Beth Israel, and then in Neurology at Massachusetts General in Boston. Then I went to the National Institutes of Health for two years doing brain physiology—brain research. I did another residency training in Psychiatry in New York, at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and then, over the following five or six years, I got very involved in working in Drug Addiction. By 1974, I was...

Risk factors of invasive candidiasis in critical cancer patients after various gastrointestinal surgeries: A 4-year retrospective study
For early diagnosis and treatment of invasive candidiasis (IC), the well-known risk factors may not apply in the intensive care unit (ICU). This retrospective study identified the risk factors predicting IC and candidemia in cancer patients under intensive care after gastrointestinal surgery.
Enrolled were 229 cancer patients admitted to our oncology surgical ICU after gastrointestinal surgery between January 1, 2010 and October 31, 2014.
The most common types of solid gastrointestinal cancers were gastric (49.8%), colon (20.1%), and esophageal (18.3%). The percentage of patients with corrected Candida colonization index...

Use of Circulating Cell-Free DNA to Guide Precision Medicine in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
Annu Rev Med. 2021 Jan 27;72:399-413. doi: 10.1146/annurev-med-070119-120448.ABSTRACTPatient-specific biomarkers form the foundation of precision medicine strategies. To realize the promise of precision medicine in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), access to cost-effective, convenient, and safe assays is critical. Improvements in diagnostic technology have enabled ultrasensitive and specific assays to identify cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a routine blood draw. Clinicians are already employing these minimally invasive assays to identify drivers of therapeutic resistance and measure genomic heterogeneity, particularly whe...

Gut Microbiota in Tumor Microenvironment: A Critical Regulator in Cancer Initiation and Development as Potential Targets for Chinese Medicine
Am J Chin Med. 2021 Mar 4:1-18. doi: 10.1142/S0192415X21500270. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer is a disease with a high mortality and disability rate. Cancer consists not only of cancer cells, but also of the surrounding microenvironment and tumor microenvironment (TME) constantly interacting with tumor cells to support tumor development and progression. Over the last decade, accumulating evidence has implicated that microbiota profoundly influences cancer initiation and progression. Most research focuses on gut microbiota, for the gut harbors the largest collection of microorganisms. Gut microbiota includes bacteria...
