Real-Life Barriers to Diagnosis of Early Mycosis Fungoides: An International Expert Panel Discussion.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare, primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that is challenging to diagnose due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation and complex histology. The subtlety of the initial clinical appearance of MF can result in diagnostic delays and hesitancy to refer suspected cases to specialist clinics. An unmet need remains for greater awareness and education.

RadBone: bone toxicity following pelvic radiotherapy - a prospective randomised controlled feasibility study evaluating a musculoskeletal health package in women with gynaecological cancers undergoing pelvic radiotherapy.

Introduction: Patients receiving radiotherapy are at risk of developing radiotherapy-related insufficiency fractures, which are associated with increased morbidity and pose a significant burden to patients' quality of life and to the health system. Therefore, effective preventive techniques are urgently required. The RadBone randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a musculoskeletal health package (MHP) intervention in women undergoing pelvic radiotherapy for gynaecological malignancies and to preliminary explore clinical effectiveness of the intervention.

Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) monitoring in primary care after discharge from hospital-based follow-up following prostate cancer treatment.

Objective: To examine follow-up procedures after men are discharged into primary care following prostate cancer and highlight any areas for service improvement.

Methods: Patient record data from two Greater Manchester boroughs were retrieved retrospectively to investigate discharge instructions and monitoring adherence. Questionnaires were sent to patients exploring their understanding of the follow-up process.

Exploring the experiences of patients, general practitioners and oncologists of prostate cancer follow-up: A qualitative interview study.

Purpose: To examine the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals of prostate cancer follow-up in primary care and to identify areas where current policy and practice could be improved.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews with patients, GPs and oncologists explored experiences of prostate cancer follow-up. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim.

The Role of e-Health in the Delivery of Care for Patients with Hematological Cancers: A Systematic Literature Review.

Hematological cancer survivors have significant unmet needs. The use of e-health interventions has been shown to be effective in improving patient experiences and outcomes in other diseases. The aim of this review is to explore the role of e-health interventions in the delivery of care for patients with hematological cancers across the illness trajectory.
