Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triumphing Over Cancer Plus 40 Survival Strategies You Can Use If you're a cancer patient or a caregiver don't go through the experience without the helpful material in Triumphing Over Cancer Plus 40 Survival Strategies You Can Use. It's about engaging the threefold force of body, mind and spirit for the healing process. You won't go into battle alone. The wisdom of others will go with you through the pages of this book. Patients have found inspiration and encouragement here. Dr. Judith Rolfs' studies in the field of psychoneuroimmunology enable her to blend the practical and the spiritual aspects necessary to survive. Marriage and family psychotherapist Dr. Rolfs knows the trauma you experience when cancer charges into your life or the precious life of someone you love. You're desperate to know how to get through as a survivor at the end of the battle. You seek information about physical and emotional challenges you'll face and need encouragement that others have made it through. Triumphing Over Cancer Plus 40 Survival Strategies You Can Use was written in response to the real needs Dr. Rolfs observed during more than one hundred days and evenings she spent on cancer wards during her eighteen-year-old son's battle with this illness. "Time and again," she says, "I saw newly diagnosed cancer patients crumble under the news as if it were more death sentence than diagnosis. I realized they lacked the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual tools necessary to triumph." Rolfs tells readers, "I'm sad beyond words that cancer has entered your life because I know the trauma, the terrible pain, emotional as much as physical, that this disease brings to people. Our eighteen-year-old son has survived this cursed illness, and his life is forever touched not only by cancer, but also being hit by a drunk driver three months after his diagnosis. By God's grace plus the dedication and expertise of doctors and researchers our son lives thirty years later." Her advice is don't despair, become a fighter. Fight with words and humor and the ideas you allow in your mind. Go into combat with prayer and nutrition and every weapon you can find. Death must never come too soon - live every lovely, grace-blessed moment. Triumphing Over Cancer Plus 40 Survival Strategies You Can Use is filled with practical pointers and positive suggestions. It's designed to help patients make decisions for treatment, take control of their attitudes, maximize support from caregivers, and also understand where God is in all this. Where does the line get drawn between resignation to God's will and fighting for life? What practical helps does Scripture offer for dealing with a life-threatening illness? You'll discover answers here and also find detailed methods for bringing humor and laughter into the hospital room. Patients have said these forty simple survival strategies made an amazing positive difference in their approach to surviving this difficult experience. It starts with a story, more than that, a series of miracles. You may not believe in God, but you can trust the truth being shared for you in these pages. This is about using the threefold force of body, mind and spirit for the healing process. You're not going into battle alone. The wisdom of others is going with you through these pages. Triumphing Over Cancer Plus 40 Survival Strategies You Can Use provides encouragement for patients and caregivers enabling them to go through the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment with dignity and faith. It's recommended as a bedside companion for every cancer patient.

This book was released on 2014-05-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying and Addressing the Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer is the summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine's National Cancer Policy Forum in July 2013 to facilitate discussion about gaps and challenges in caring for adolescent and young adult cancer patients and potential strategies and actions to improve the quality of their care. The workshop featured invited presentations from clinicians and other advocates working to improve the care and outcomes for the adolescent and young adult population with cancer. Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in adolescents and young adults. Each year nearly 70,000 people between the ages of 15 and 39 are diagnosed with cancer, approximately 8 times more than children under age 15. This population faces a variety of unique short- and long-term health and psychosocial issues, such as difficulty reentering school, the workforce, or the dating scene; problems with infertility; cardiac, pulmonary, or other treatment repercussions; and secondary malignancies. Survivors are also at increased risk for psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide and may have difficulty acquiring health insurance and paying for needed care. Identifying and Addressing the Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer discusses a variety of topics important to adolescent and young adult patients with cancer, including the ways in which cancers affecting this group differ from cancers in other age groups and what that implies about the best treatments for these cancer patients. This report identifies gaps and challenges in providing optimal care to adolescent and young adult patients with cancer and to discuss potential strategies and actions to address them.

Download or read book Multiple Primary Malignant Neoplasms written by Bruce S. Schoenberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When asked why he robbed banks, an astute and success ful criminal is said to have replied "Because that's where the money is kept." Why study patients with multiple primary cancers? The answer follows the same practical approach. Because the intensive investigation of such patients is very likely to yield data useful to both the clinical and research on cologist. Studies of this problem provide an immediate return for the clinician responsible for the care of cancer patients. With improved forms of therapy, these individuals are enjoying longer periods of survival. One important factor in maintaining increased survival is the early detection and treatment of new primary tumors which may develop. Analyses of multiple primary malignancies serve as a guide to the probable anatomic location of a subsequent primary and help define characteristics of the individual at high risk for multiple primary cancer. But just as treatment may improve the life of the cancer patient, it may also increase the risk of a subsequent malignancy. Studies of multiple primaries provide an efficient means for quantifying potentially harmful effects of current therapeutic modalities.

Book excerpt: Cancer: It's a word that was previously whispered, but now it's frequently the lead-in to the evening news. There are ribbons, walk-a-thons, plays, and documentaries on the subject. In "No Expiration Dates," author Leon Weisman presents an inspirational cancer guide with a fresh approach. Based on personal experience, Weisman offers a useful combination of practical advice, philosophical questions, and humorous observations- with a touch of personal memoir. "No Expiration Dates" presents insights into the many challenges and questions a cancer diagnosis brings for both the patients and their families. Weisman's unique use of literary quotes helps to emphasize the message that a devastating illness is not only survivable but can enlighten previously held perceptions about life. A blueprint for survival, "No Expiration Dates" discusses the surreal nature of hospital stays, the fabric of doctor-patient relationships, and the world of chemotherapy. This non-medical guide provides an understanding of the coping mechanisms necessary to meet the emotional and social challenges of a cancer diagnosis. This memoir of discovery and hope helps develop positive paths to the goals of life extension and recovery.

Download or read book Narrative Impact written by Melanie C. Green and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of public narratives has been so broad (including effects on beliefs and behavior but extending beyond to emotion and personality), that the stakeholders in the process have been located across disciplines, institutions, governments, and, indeed, across epochs. Narrative Impact draws upon scholars in diverse branches of psychology and media research to explore the subjective experience of public narratives, the affordances of the narrative environment, and the roles played by narratives in both personal and collective spheres. The book brings together current theory and research presented primarily from an empirical psychological and communications perspective, as well as contributions from literary theory, sociology, and censorship studies. To be commensurate with the broad scope of influence of public narratives, the book includes the narrative mobilization of major social movements, the formation of self-concepts in young people, banning of texts in schools, the constraining impact of narratives on jurors in the court room, and the wide use of education entertainment to affect social changes. Taken together, the interdisciplinary nature of the book and its stellar list of contributors set it apart from many edited volumes. Narrative Impact will draw readership from various fields, including sociology, literary studies, and curriculum policy. Providing new explanatory concepts, this book: *is the first account on the psychology of narrative persuasion and brings together the relevant conceptualizations from within various sectors of psychology together with the major issues that concern cognate disciplines outside of psychology; *focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underlie the power of public narratives to achieve broad historical and social changes; *offers breakthroughs to the future: the role of "presence" in virtual reality narratives; the role of "zines" in females' fashioning of their selves; and the central role of imagery in transportation into narrative worlds; *explains varying roles of emotion in narrative immersion; and *addresses the growing blurring of fact and fiction: mechanisms and implications for beliefs and behavior.
