    Children of Young Female Patients With a History of Cancer May Be at Risk of Birth Defects - The ASCO Post - 7 month(s) ago

    “Concerns like the health of future children are at the top of mind for many young adult [patients] diagnosed with cancer, but they are already so overwhelmed at the time of diagnosis with navigating cancer-related information,” stressed lead study author Caitlin C. Murphy, PhD, MPH, Associate Professor of Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences at the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health. “Our findings can be used in clinical practice to provide counseling and inform this population of the potential

    Organizing Online Health Content: Developing Hashtag Collections for Healthier Internet-Based People and Communities - 7 month(s) ago

    Twitter use has increased among patients with cancer, advocates, and oncology professionals. Hashtags, a form of metadata, can be used to share content, organize health information, and create virtual communities of interest. Cancer-specific hashtags modeled on a breast cancer community, #bcsm, led to the development of a structured set of hashtags called the cancer tag ontology. In this article, we review how these hashtags have worked with the aim of describing our experience from 2011 to 2017. We discuss useful guidelines for the development and maintenance of health-oriented communities on Twitter, including possible challenges to community sustainability and opportunities for future improvement and research.

    Outcome for Children and Young Adults With T-Cell ALL and Induction Failure in Contemporary Trials - 8 month(s) ago

    PURPOSE Historically, patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) who fail to achieve remission at the end of induction (EOI) have had poor long-term survival. The goal of this study was to examine the efficacy of contemporary therapy, including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in first remission (CR1). METHODS Induction failure (IF) was defined as the persistence of at least 5% bone marrow (BM) lymphoblasts and/or extramedullary disease after 4-6 weeks of induction chemotherapy. Disease features and clinical outcomes were reported in 325 of 6,167 (5%) patients age 21 years and younger treated in 14 cooperative study groups between 2000 and 2018. RESULTS With a median follow-up period of 6.4 years (range, 0.3-17.9 years), the 10-year overall survival (OS) was 54.7% (SE = 2.9), which is significantly higher than the 27.6% (SE = 2.9) observed in the historical cohort from 1985 to 2000. There was no significant impact of sex, age, white blood cell co

    How the Cancer Moonshot Aims to Improve the Quality of Life for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors - The ASCO Post - 8 month(s) ago

    Several recent studies have shown an increasingly disturbing trend: the incidence of early-onset cancers—those diagnosed in individuals younger than age 50—is on the rise, and not just in the United States but globally as well. Worldwide, in 2019, there were a reported 1.19 million new cases of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYAs), aged 15 to 39, and approximately 425,000 deaths. 1 Although considered a rare occurrence in the United States, cancer in this age group has risen by nearly 30%

    Preventing Future Harm: Identifying the Drivers of an Unsafe Discharge to Improve Safety on an Inpatient Oncology Service - 9 month(s) ago

    Cancer Morbidity, Mortality, and Improvement Rounds is a series of articles intended to explore the unique safety risks experienced by oncology patients through the lens of quality improvement, systems and human factors engineering, and cognitive psychology. For purposes of clarity, each case focuses on a single theme, although, as is true for all medical incidents, there are almost always multiple, overlapping, contributing factors. The quality improvement paradigm used here, which focuses on root cause analyses and opportunities to improve care delivery systems, was previously outlined in this journal. This article describes the care of a young patient with aggressive breast cancer, declining performance status, and multiple hospital admissions who died shortly after being discharged home without essential medications or an adequate plan for follow-up. The patient’s death due to her malignancy was unavoidable, but she had inadequate resources before her death, leading to avoidable su
