Article Synopsis
- Survivorship care plans (SCPs) are documents that help cancer survivors by explaining what follow-up tests they need based on their cancer treatment.
- In a study of patients with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer, researchers looked at tests performed after patients received their SCPs to see if any were unnecessary and followed guidelines against them.
- They found that many tests (especially for breast cancer) were done even though they weren't needed according to the guidelines, showing a need for better education and practices among healthcare providers.
Background: Survivorship care plans seek to improve the transition to survivorship, but the required resources present implementation barriers. This randomized controlled trial aimed to identify the simplest, most effective approach for survivorship care planning.
Methods: Stage 1-3 breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer patients aged 21 years or older completing treatment were recruited from an urban-academic and rural-community cancer center.
Objective: The aim was to examine whether self-preparation of food increases the liking of healthy and unhealthy foods.
Method: The study used a 2 (preparation: self-prepared vs. other-prepared) × 2 (healthiness: healthy vs.
Objective: To determine the survival in a population of German patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Patients And Methods: Information about 94 patients born between 1970 and 1980 was obtained by telephone interviews and questionnaires. In addition to age of death or actual age during the investigation, data concerning clinical course and medical interventions were collected.
