This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States. The improvement of screening procedures and treatments have led to higher survival rates, and consequently to an increased number of individuals who fear that their cancer might come back. Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is defined as the fear, worry, or concern that cancer may come back or progress. FCR has been found to be the number one unmet need of cancer survivors. High levels of FCR are associated with greater psychological distress, impaired functioning, decreased quality of life, and increased medical consultations, psychotropic usage and health-care costs. It is therefore crucial to offer these patients an appropriate and effective treatment. The books first propose a theoretical model of FCR that identifies the five main targets of intervention in this program: 1) cognitive interpretation; 2) behavioural avoidance; 3) cognitive avoidance; 4) reassurance and control seeking; 5) intolerance of uncertainty. Then, each target is discussed and specific cognitive-behavioural therapy strategies are suggested that focus on each of them based on the best available empirical evidence for the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder) and cancer-related anxiety. This book will be of interest to clinicians working with cancer patients such as psychologists and other health care providers as well as cancer patients and survivors. Graduate students in clinical health psychology, and connecting disciplines such as psycho-oncology, psychiatry, nursing, social work, rehabilitation, spiritual care, and sexology might also find this text of value.

Book excerpt: Nowhere is the explosion in comprehensive genomic testing more evident than in oncology. Multiple consensus guidelines now recommend molecular testing as the standard of care for most metastatic tumors. To aid in the advancement of this rapidly changing field, we intend this Special Issue of JPM to focus on technical developments in the genomic profiling of cancer, detail promising somatic alterations that either are, or have a high likelihood of being, relevant in the near future, and to address issues related to the pricing and value of these tests.The last few years have seen the cost of molecular testing decrease by orders of magnitude. In 2018, we saw the first “site-agnostic” drug approvals in cancer (for microsatellite unstable cancer (PD-1 inhibitors) and NTRK-fusions (TRK inhibitors)). Research on targetable mutations, determination of genetic “signatures” that can use multiple individual genes/pathways, development of targeted therapy, and insight into the value of new technology remains at the cutting edge of research in this field. We are soliciting papers that present new technologies to assess predictive biomarkers in cancer, original research (pre-clinical or clinical) that demonstrates promise for particular targeted therapies in cancer, and articles that explore the clinical and financial impacts of this paradigmatic shift in cancer diagnostics and treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Twentieth Century has seen a dramatic rise in the use of probability and statistics in almost all fields of research. This has stimulated many new philosophical ideas on probability. Philosophical Theories of Probability is the first book to present a clear, comprehensive and systematic account of these various theories and to explain how they relate to one another. Gillies also offers a distinctive version of the propensity theory of probability, and the intersubjective interpretation, which develops the subjective theory.

Book excerpt: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is defined as "fear, worry, or concern relating to the possibility that cancer will come back or progress (Lebel et al., 2016, p. 3266). FCR is the most frequently reported concern identified among cancer survivors (Baker, Denniston, Smith, & West, 2005; Lebel, Rosberger, Edgar, & Devins, 2007). Although approximately 50% of cancer survivors experience moderate-to-high levels of FCR (Simard et al., 2013), few psychosocial interventions exist that directly target this construct. The overarching study objectives were: (a) to adapt a manualized, 6-week, cognitive-existential group therapy intervention for FCR to an individual format; (b) to pilot-test the feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction of this individual intervention on n=3 participants; and (c) to further pilot-test the efficacy of the individual intervention on n=25 participants, via a randomized controlled trial (RCT). In study 1, n=3 cancer survivors (1 male, 2 females) completed the one-on-one therapy intervention for the psychological treatment of FCR. Sessions were 60-90 minutes long, and included cognitive restructuring exercises, behavioural experiments, relaxation techniques, existential processing of the here-and-now, and finding meaning in life post-diagnosis. Participants completed questionnaire packages throughout the intervention and an exit interview to determine their overall feedback on the intervention. Quantitative analyses revealed downwards trends in fear of cancer recurrence and cancer-specific distress across participants. Qualitative analyses of the exit interviews revealed that all participants found the intervention useful, and that the sessions had favourable pacing and length. In study 2, the FCR intervention was further pilot-tested via an RCT. Twenty-five female cancer survivors were randomized to an experimental group or a wait-list control group. Sessions included cognitive restructuring techniques, behavioural experiments, confronting existential distress, and relaxation exercises. Nineteen women (n=9 intervention, n=10 control) completed the 6-week therapy intervention, and completed questionnaire packages at pre-, post- and 3-month follow-up. Between-within ANOVAs revealed significant interactions in the primary outcome measure of FCR, and secondary outcome measures of cancer-specific distress and uncertainty in illness for participants in the experimental group. Repeated measures ANOVAs revealed reductions in FCR, cancer-specific distress, uncertainty in illness, reassurance-seeking, cognitive avoidance, and intolerance of uncertainty, and revealed improvements in positive reinterpretation and growth, use of emotional support and mental health (improved quality of life) for participants in the experimental group, as compared to the wait-list control group. The variables that changed either maintained or improved at follow-up. Results from this study demonstrate promising results in addressing FCR in cancer survivors via a cognitive-existential intervention. Future research should continue investigating the specific therapeutic ingredients that are most effective for the psychological treatment of FCR.

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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Anxiety is a common problem for patients with cancer. Anxiety may have a negative impact on decision making and overall emotional well being of patients and may be related to the uncertainties faced by people with cancer. This study examined the relationship between uncertainty in illness and anxiety in patients with cancer. The sample consisted of 30 patients, predominantly males (n=23), being treated as outpatients in the Clinical Research Unit at a National Cancer Institute designated cancer center in Florida. After agreeing to participate, patients completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory as well as Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Scale. Participants' ages ranged from 21 to 86, with a mean age of 64 years. Forty percent of the patients completed high school, 30% had some college education and almost 30% had a bachelor's degree or higher. Almost 47% of the sample had melanoma, other patients had renal cancer (n=3), or pancreatic cancer (n=2), acute myeloid leukemia (n=2), sarcoma (n=2), lung cancer (n=2), myeloma (n=2), chronic myeloid leukemia (n=1), glioblastoma (n=1), and rectal cancer (n=1). Seventy percent of the patients had stage IV disease. The results of the study showed a significant positive relationship between uncertainty and both state anxiety (r=0.52, p=0.00.) and trait anxiety (r=0.61, p=0.000). A significant positive relationship was also found between the uncertainty subscale of ambiguity and both, state anxiety (r=0.538, p=0.002) and trait anxiety (r=0.56, p=0.001). Both state anxiety (r=0.39, p=0.034) and trait anxiety (r=0.64, p=0.000) were positively related to the uncertainty subset of inconsistency. Although the sample size was small and not demographically diverse, the findings of this study are supportive of previous studies. The implications of this study in nursing are significant because they examine two emotional aspects that evidently exist among cancer patients, and that very likely cause distress to this population. The findings of this study suggest that additional focus in uncertainty and anxiety should take place in the clinical outpatient setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully provides valuable insight into the experience of patients and families living with advanced cancer and describes a novel psychotherapeutic approach to help them live meaningfully, while also facing the threat of mortality. Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully, also known by the acronym CALM, is a brief supportive-expressive intervention that can be delivered by a wide range of trained healthcare providers as part of cancer care or early palliative care. The authors provide an overview of the clinical experience and research that led to the development of CALM, a clear description of the intervention, and a manualized guide to aid in its delivery. Situated in the context of early palliative care, this text is destined to be become essential reading for healthcare professionals engaged in providing psychological support to patients and their families who face the practical and profound problems of advanced disease.
