Frequency of vaccine hesitancy among patients with advanced cancer
This study was a prospective cross-sectional survey trial conducted from March 10, 2022, to November 1, 2022, at a Supportive Care Clinic. Patients completed the survey with a research assistant or from a survey link. Vaccine hesitancy was defined as a response of 2 or more on the Parent Attitudes About Childhood Vaccines (PACV-4). Perception on vaccine safety and efficacy along with the importance of sources of information were determined by a questionnaire.RESULTS: Of the 72 patients who completed the PACV-4, 30 were considered vaccine-hesitant (42%). Of those who completed the survey alone (35), 23 (66%) were vaccine-he...

Carcinoma vulva: Ten years experience in a teaching institution of North India
CONCLUSION: Tumour stage, nodal positivity and nodal ECS were poor prognostic factors. Radical surgery-extensive groin node dissection causes significant morbidity; hence, studies evaluating the role of neoadjuvant treatment are needed so as to modify current treatment practices. HPV vaccination as a preventive measure and a thorough and extensive evaluation of patients with suspicious signs in vulvar disease is needed.PMID:37312782 | PMC:PMC10259558 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1731_22

Project ECHO for Cancer Care: a Scoping Review of Provider Outcome Evaluations
J Cancer Educ. 2023 Mar 31. doi: 10.1007/s13187-023-02292-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Project ECHO model of telementoring has been used for the past 10 years to expand access to specialized cancer care. This scoping review identifies evidence for the model's ability to improve provider outcomes, synthesizing findings from existing studies within Moore et al.'s (2009) framework for continuing medical education outcomes. We search two large research databases and a collection maintained by Project ECHO staff for articles that focus on cancer ECHO programs, involve primary data collection, and were published between ...

Targeting elimination of cervical cancer by 2030: a baseline assessment in six African countries-part II
CONCLUSIONS: Guinea will need assistance to implement HPV immunisations and expand screening. In all six countries surveyed, steps should be taken to introduce or scale up the more precise HPV screening instead of acid acetic inspection of the cervix, to replace the current cryoablation of the preinvasive lesions of the cervix with thermal ablation and to increase the capacity for screening. Solutions need to be found for covering the dearth in gynaecological oncologists and radiotherapy installations and personnel.PMID:36405933 | PMC:PMC9666272 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2022.1454

Comprehensive approach to costing cervical cancer prevention and control: a case study in the United Republic of Tanzania using the Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Costing (C4P) tool
CONCLUSIONS: The C4P costing tool can assist national cervical cancer programmes to estimate monetary resources needed as well as opportunity costs of reducing national cervical cancer incidence through primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.PMID:36316680 | DOI:10.1186/s12916-022-02576-x

Radiotherapy activity in the COVID 19 pandemic: Brazil's operational national-level study
CONCLUSION: The RT activity was heterogeneously affected with a substantial increase for bone and brain metastases and a meaningful decline for prostate cancer.POLICY SUMMARY: With a significant increase in the use of palliative radiotherapy for bone and brain metastases and a meaningful reduction in curative radiotherapy for prostate cancer, we hope these findings can help governments, RT services, medical communities, and other stakeholders develop strategies to mitigate the impact of the present and future pandemics. Finally, despite the changes imposed by the COVID pandemic, it is imperative to enhance screening, incre...

Hybrid Work from Home Clinical Academic Environment: A One-Year Follow-Up Survey of Attitudes and Beliefs of Members of a Department of Palliative Care, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Medicine
Conclusions: Support for WFH was sustained a year later and after three pandemic waves. These findings serve as a model for future rapid work transitions and can help elucidate factors associated with stress and emotional exhaustion in a new post-COVID-19 work environment.PMID:36108159 | DOI:10.1089/jpm.2022.0203

PP19 Advances in community paramedicine in response to COVID-19
Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the essential collaborative care role community paramedicine programs can provide to patients in their homes or communities. Community paramedicine programs have evolved to meet the needs of their communities. These programs have demonstrated their ability to support public health measures, provide home and community-based care, and most importantly, collaborate with other health care professionals in coordinating and providing care to Canadians regardless of social circumstances.

Treatment Sequencing Strategies in Lung Cancer
Conclusions The screening predictability in more patients, smoking reduction, early diagnosis, better disease understanding and individualized, more effective and tolerable therapeutics are related to an increasing in overall survival and quality of life. In the near future improvement of personalized therapy in precision medicine is expected, enhancing new predictive biomarkers, optimal doses and o ptimal treatment sequencing as well as anti-cancer vaccines development.

Passive Immunotherapy Against SARS-CoV-2: From Plasma-Based Therapy to Single Potent Antibodies in the Race to Stay Ahead of the Variants
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic is now approaching 2 years old, with more than 440 million people infected and nearly six million dead worldwide, making it the most significant pandemic since the 1918 influenza pandemic. The severity and significance of SARS-CoV-2 was recognized immediately upon discovery, leading to innumerable companies and institutes designing and generating vaccines and therapeutic antibodies literally as soon as recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein sequence was available. Within months of the pandemic start, several antibodies had been generated, tested, and moved into clinical trials, including Eli Lil...
