- The study investigates how patients with advanced cancer cope over time, aiming to improve supportive care by understanding their coping strategies.
- Data from 675 patients across six European countries were analyzed, using questionnaires to track Denial, Acceptance, and Problem-Focused coping over 20 weeks.
- Findings showed that while most coping strategies remained stable, different subgroups of patients exhibited varying trajectories in their coping methods.
Article Synopsis
- Active surveillance (AS) is a safe and acceptable treatment strategy for men with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, showing a high overall survival (OS) rate of 84.1% and metastasis-free survival (MFS) exceeding 99% over a follow-up period of more than 6 years.
- The study analyzed clinical data from nearly 27,000 men across 15 countries, revealing that while there was no significant change in overall survival rates over time, metastasis-free survival rates improved notably.
- Treatment changes were primarily driven by anxiety or tumor progression, with the most common radical treatment being surgery, which resulted in 90% of men remaining free from biochemical recurrence after 5 years.
Background And Objectives: Guideline recommendations for surgical management of traumatic epidural hematomas (EDHs) do not directly address EDHs that co-occur with other intracranial hematomas; the relative rates of isolated vs nonisolated EDHs and guideline adherence are unknown. We describe characteristics of a contemporary cohort of patients with EDHs and identify factors influencing acute surgery.
Methods: This research was conducted within the longitudinal, observational Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury cohort study which prospectively enrolled patients with traumatic brain injury from 65 hospitals in 18 European countries from 2014 to 2017.
Objective: Locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma can be treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy followed by oesophagectomy. Discrepancies in pathological response rates have been reported between studies from Eastern versus Western countries. The aim of this study was to compare the pathological response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in Eastern versus Western countries.
