Purpose: To evaluate cancer patients' willingness to pay for exercise services and oncology health professionals' perception of patients' willingness to pay.

Methods: A mixed-methods design was used. Online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were administered to people with any type of cancer and oncology health professionals delivering clinical care.

In almost all cancers, the p53 pathway is disabled and cancer cells survive. Hence, it is crucially important to induce cell death independent of p53 in the treatment of cancers. The transcription factor E2F1 is controlled by binding of the tumor suppressor pRB, and induces apoptosis by activating the gene, an upstream activator of p53, when deregulated from pRB by loss of pRB function.

Nearly a decade after the National Academy of Medicine released the "Improving Diagnosis in Health Care" report, diagnostic errors remain common, often leading to physical, psychological, emotional, and financial harm. Despite a robust body of research on potential solutions and next steps, the translation of these efforts to patient care has been limited. Improvement initiatives are still narrowly focused on selective themes such as diagnostic stewardship, preventing overdiagnosis, and enhancing clinical reasoning without comprehensively addressing vulnerable systems and processes surrounding diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • - E2F1 is a transcription factor that plays a dual role in cell growth, promoting both cell proliferation and tumor suppression, particularly when the tumor suppressor pRB is not functioning.
  • - The N-terminal region of E2F1 is crucial for activating tumor suppressor genes, as removing this region significantly reduces its ability to do so.
  • - GTF2H2, a general transcription factor, interacts with the N-terminal region of E2F1 and enhances its tumor suppressor gene activity, while its knockdown negatively impacts this function.
