Latent Profiles of Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Breast Cancer Patients of Reproductive Age and Associations With Reproductive Concerns.

Aim: To identify distinct profiles of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) among breast cancer patients of reproductive age, investigate the relationship between these profiles and reproductive concerns and explore potential risk factors encompassing sociodemographic, clinical and reproductive characteristics.

Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2022 to September 2022.

Methods: A convenience sample of 210 reproductive-aged breast cancer patients completed a questionnaire that included a general information section, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF) and the Reproductive Concerns After Cancer Scale (RCAC).

Mediation Effects of Coping Styles on Fear of Progression and Reproductive Concerns in Breast Cancer Patients of Reproductive Age.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate reproductive concerns among breast cancer patients of reproductive age, analyze the influencing factors, explore the relationship between coping styles, fear of progression (FOP), and reproductive concerns, and identify the multiple effects of coping styles on the relationship between FOP and reproductive concerns among Chinese breast cancer patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted among breast cancer patients in four tertiary grade A hospitals in Fujian, China, from January 2022 to September 2022. A total of 210 patients were recruited to complete paper-based questionnaires, which included the general data questionnaires, the Reproductive Concerns After Cancer Scale (RCACS), the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FOP-Q-SF), and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ).

Long non-coding RNA B4GALT1-Antisense RNA 1/microRNA-30e/SRY-box transcription factor 9 signaling axis contributes to non-small cell lung cancer cell growth.

Long non-coding (lnc) RNAs serve crucial functions in human cancers. However, the involvement of the lncRNA B4GALT1-antisense RNA 1 (AS1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been extensively studied. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed to detect B4GALT1-AS1 levels in NSCLC tissues and cell lines.
