Promotion of self-management for post treatment cancer survivors: evaluation of a risk-adapted visit.

Purpose: The LIFE Cancer Survivorship Program at NorthShore University HealthSystem provides risk-adapted visits (RAV) facilitated by an oncology nurse during which a survivorship care plan (SCP) is provided and discussed. In this report, we describe and evaluate RAV in promoting individualized health care and self-management during survivorship transition.

Methods: Patients complete a post-RAV questionnaire at their RAV and another ≥1 year after their RAV.

Splenic lymphoma arising in a patient with Gaucher disease. A case report and review of the literature.

Patients with Gaucher disease have an increased risk of malignancies, especially the lymphoreticular type. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Gaucher disease diagnosed during the workup and diagnosis of a splenic marginal-zone lymphoma with progression to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. There are several theories as to how Gaucher disease leads to malignancies.
