The Role of Online Support, Caregiving, and Gender in Preventative Cancer Genetic Testing Participation: Cross-Sectional Study From a National Study

The Role of Online Support, Caregiving, and Gender in Preventative Cancer Genetic Testing Participation: Cross-Sectional Study From a National Study

Consequently, the development and widespread adoption of effective screening strategies have become paramount in the fight against cancer. Among these strategies, genetic testing has emerged as a pivotal tool in cancer prevention and early detection [3]. By analyzing an individual’s DNA, genetic testing can identify mutations that may predispose individuals to various forms of cancer [4].

Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Interventions for Caregivers of Patients With Cancer: Scoping Review

Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Interventions for Caregivers of Patients With Cancer: Scoping Review

The incidence and mortality rates of cancer are rapidly increasing globally. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were 19.29 million new cancer cases and 9.96 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2020, and the rise in cancer incidence and mortality rates has resulted in a significant disease burden on people [1]. The diagnosis and long-term treatment of cancer not only cause adversity for patients but also impose psychological stress and burdens on caregivers [2].

Piloting the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Pediatric Oncology Telehealth Education Program in Western Kenya: Implementation Study

Piloting the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Pediatric Oncology Telehealth Education Program in Western Kenya: Implementation Study

However, in the past 3 years, an average of only 216 pediatric patients were diagnosed with cancer annually [5]. This suggests that the remaining 75%‐80% of patients remain undiagnosed and likely do not survive (Figure 1). One example is pediatric leukemia, the most common type of pediatric cancer in this region. Although this malignancy should represent 300‐480 cases (ie, 30%‐40% of all pediatric cancer diagnosis), only 40 cases per year have been seen over the last several years [5].

Understanding the Experiences of Patients With Pancreatic Cancer: Quantitative Analysis of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Patient Registry

Both versions of the Pan CAN Patient Registry were designed to assist the pancreatic cancer community in understanding the “Right Track” for any patient with pancreatic cancer: right team, right tests, right treatment, and the opportunity to share their data [6].

Leveraging Digital Twins for Stratification of Patients with Breast Cancer and Treatment Optimization in Geriatric Oncology: Multivariate Clustering Analysis

Leveraging Digital Twins for Stratification of Patients with Breast Cancer and Treatment Optimization in Geriatric Oncology: Multivariate Clustering Analysis

Breast cancer is more commonly diagnosed in older populations, particularly among women aged 65 years and older in wealthier countries. In the United States, the average age of breast cancer diagnosis is 62 years, and in 2020, women aged 70 years and older accounted for 30% of all new cases of the disease [1,2]. In the European Union, women older than 65 years made up about 44% of all breast cancer cases [3].

A Deep Learning–Enabled Workflow to Estimate Real-World Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer: Study Using Deidentified Electronic Health Records

A Deep Learning–Enabled Workflow to Estimate Real-World Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer: Study Using Deidentified Electronic Health Records

This clinician-confirmed cancer progression in unstructured text (ie, clinical notes) has been shown to serve as a reasonable surrogate for real-world indicators in ascertaining progression endpoints. This is also more practical for real-world studies than purely RECIST-based approaches [6].

Analyzing Usage of the Metaverse by Associations of Patients With Prostate Cancer During the 2023 Blue Ribbon Campaign: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Analyzing Usage of the Metaverse by Associations of Patients With Prostate Cancer During the 2023 Blue Ribbon Campaign: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer among men worldwide and the most common urologic malignancy in high-income countries. In 2020, there were an estimated 1,414,000 diagnosed cases and 375,304 deaths related to prostate cancer [1]. It is important to note that prostate cancer can progress without symptoms, leading to missed treatment opportunities [2].

Process Re-Engineering and Data Integration Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources for the Multidisciplinary Treatment of Lung Cancer

According to the requirements of the Taiwan National Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Quality Certification, MDT meetings must be held regularly every year to discuss new diagnostic cases. However, the treatment course for patients with cancer is long, and patients are often cared for by different clinical departments.

Examining Practices Related to Ethical Aspects in eHealth Evaluation Research: Protocol for a Scoping Review

RPM shows particular promise in the care of cancer [3,4] and cardiovascular diseases [5], as these conditions often require prompt intervention when health issues arise. Together, they account for more than half of global mortality, with 33% attributed to cancer and 18% to cardiovascular diseases [6].

Education and Symptom Reporting in an mHealth App for Patients With Cancer: Mixed Methods Development and Validation Study

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. In 2020, approximately 19 million people were diagnosed, and 9.3 million people die each year [1,2]. In the particular context of Chile, a comparable pattern was noted; in the same year, 54,000 cases of cancer were diagnosed, with 28,000 fatalities attributed to the disease annually.
