Article Synopsis
- A multi-center study reviewed 36 cases of pediatric patients with EBV(-)M-PTLD, highlighting demographics, treatment regimens, and outcomes between 2001 and 2020.
- Results showed a median follow-up of 3 years, with 3-year event-free survival at 64.8% and overall survival at 79.9%, suggesting outcomes similar to EBV(+) PTLD but less favorable than mature B-cell lymphoma in healthy children.
Article Synopsis
- - PSOT-BL, a rare and aggressive form of cancer in children post-organ transplantation, was studied in 35 patients across 14 hospitals in the U.S., with a median age of diagnosis at 8 years, mostly occurring over 2 years after transplant.
- - The most commonly transplanted organs were the heart and liver, and despite the severity of the disease, patients did not experience graft loss or treatment-related deaths.
- - Various treatment regimens were employed, showing a 3-year event-free survival rate of 66.2% and overall survival rate of 88%, indicating that intensive treatments for PSOT-BL can achieve outcomes similar to those in healthy children with Burkitt lymphoma.
Purpose/background: The Parent Educational Discharge Support Strategies (PEDSS) nursing study includes 16 magnet pediatric oncology institutions across the United States and one in Saudi Arabia, evaluating a nurse-led parent educational discharge support strategy for families experiencing a child newly diagnosed with cancer.
Methods: During the first 3 months of the study, a research implementation survey was administered electronically to each site principal investigator to evaluate facilitators and barriers in the research process for this multisite nurse-led pediatric oncology study.
Results: Facilitators included nursing leadership support and commitment from the nursing staff.
The purpose of this systematic review is to (1) synthesize evidence facilitators and barriers affecting adolescent willingness to communicate symptoms to health care providers (HCPs) and (2) create practice recommendations. The PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time) question guiding the review was, among adolescents with cancer, what factors affect their willingness to communicate symptoms to HCPs? Three databases, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsychINFO, were searched using keywords from the PICOT question. Inclusion criteria included original research studies with samples of at least 51% adolescents aged 10-18 years who were receiving or had received cancer treatment.
