Abstract:
<p> Although clinical trials are essential for the development of cancer treatments, only approximately 3% of cancer patients in the U.S. participate in them. While 55% of these patients are enrolled in cancer clinical trials through community-based practices and around 80% of all cancer patients are seen at this type of practice, there is a lack of knowledge about the enrollment barriers at these sites. This study evaluates enrollment barriers at a community-based cancer clinic at the levels of the investigative site, healthcare provider, and patient. Barriers to enrollment and strategies to

Hence, a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing surgery for DCIS was performed in order to assess the association of margin widths of &lt; 1 mm, 1 to 2 mm, and &gt; 2 mm with ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) considering also the potential role of host-, tumor-

Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is an oncogene expressed in a subset of germinal centre (GC)-derived lymphomas including Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Dissecting how LMP1 functions differently from CD40 in GC cells is central to a better understanding of lymphomagenesis and is the subject of this thesis. In Chapter 3, I show that GC B cells can be successfully isolated from normal human tonsils and that these cells retain a GC phenotype upon short-term

Cancer is one of the most feared diagnoses for the present generations. Yet, for a parent more than for anyone else, knowing that their child has got cancer can be devastating. Childhood cancer is intense and consuming for all people involved, and its physical and psychological consequences are difficult to evaluate. This dissertation aims to understand the main challenges of paediatric cancer, and explore a possible solution to address some of them with a case study: The Princess Maxima Centre for Paediatric Oncology, the Netherlands. To better contextualize the opening of this Centre, a rev

Abstract:
Brain tumors, independently from histology, share a similar progressive growth pattern that often requires multiple treatment modalities. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and medications are often administered in close proximity to one another or, sometimes, contemporaneously. For that reason, the assessment of the effectiveness of any single treatment is extremely difficult. Brain tumors are a rare cancer but they are among the most devastating forms of cancer and afflict the very core of the person. Optimizing the life style of patients should become essential and on a par with the

Abstract:
Service provision in veterinary oncology in Ontario was examined using a mixed methods approach. First, an interview-based qualitative study explored the service expectations of oncology clients at a tertiary referral centre. Next, a survey-based quantitative study established an understanding of oncology service in primary care practice and investigated the treatment recommendations of practitioners for dogs diagnosed with cancer. The first study, which involved 30 individual and dyadic interviews, identified “uncertainty” (attributable to the unpredictable nature of cancer and its treatment

Abstract:
For most people in North America, undergoing treatments for cancer occurs exclusively in a healthcare setting. All too often, this healthcare setting provides a backdrop privileging the technological requirements of conventional medicine over the well-being of the people who inhabit it. Conversely, this practicum project is founded on a different, more holistic approach to cancer care called integrative oncology. The project investigates how an integrative cancer treatment centre can be designed to be more than a technological backdrop, endeavoring to become an active entity that truly supp

Abstract:
Caring for children with cancer involves caring for the entire family. Treatment for childhood cancer is centralized in major centres. A phenomenological study was conducted to elicit the lived experience of parents caring for a child who had completed treatment for cancer who do not live near their child’s cancer treatment centre. Interviews with five parents exploring their recollections of parenting their child with cancer during and after treatment were conducted. Data analysis revealed the essence of the parents’ lived experience as a journey within a journey. Four themes characterized t

Introduction Chronic pain is a complex phenomenon usually associated with psychological stress, which implies falling back on the National Health Service and reducing work capacities, indeed affecting Activities of Daily Living. Studies based on efficacy have identified the multidisciplinary approach as the most effective means to obtain therapeutic results. These programs can be provided by the Centers for Pain Management (CPMs), where multidisciplinary teams are likely to provide the necessary expertise to outline the best treatments for the diagnosis and management of chronic pain.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Cancer is a common health issue worldwide, with an estimated 30 million new diagnoses in the last five years. For over half of all newly diagnosed cancer patients, radiotherapy is recommended for cancer control or symptom relief. Despite the contribution that radiotherapy makes to extended survival of those diagnosed with cancer, this treatment is associated with a broad range of potential practical, physical and psychosocial impacts. To support patients dealing with this treatment burden, a holistic patient-centred approach to cancer care is

Abstract:
Background: Quality of cancer care still needs improvement and one of its requirements is a patient-centered care, which englobes several dimensions, such as communication. Even though knowing its importance in cancer settings, and that it impacts both patients and doctors, there is still gaps on understanding patients' perspectives about oncologic consultations. Aim: To obtain a deeper understanding about how patients evaluate their interactions with oncologists in consultations, using their cognitions and affective states as indicators of the quality of patient cancer care.
