Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete var att se om olika faktorer kunde påverka deltagande i stödverksamhet efter att patienten fått diagnosen prostatacancer, samt vilken form av psykosocialt stöd patienterna föredrar. Metod: Metoden som använts var en enkätstudie med både kvantitativ ansats, som delades ut under hösten 2011 till prostatacancerpatienter på urologmottagningen, Akademiska sjukhuset. Huvudresultat: Män anger att de inte är intresserade av att delta i stödverksamhet efter diagnos och eventuell behandling. Vid behov ansåg de att enskilda eller gruppsamtal var mest relevanta som stödverksamheter. Informanterna ansåg att rehabilitering med samtal och yoga hade minst relevans. Slutsats: Män som drabbats av prostatacancer väljer att inte delta i stödverksamhet. Behov finns därför av att utföra mer studier för att klargöra orsakerna till detta.

The management of a cancer patient requires, to the caregivers, finding the best antineoplastic therapy in combination with support involvement from the diagnosis to the stage after cancer or death. During the course of care, patient and family will be confronted with different teams, different visions and different treatment approaches of their care. The work presented starts threw an analysis of French organizations of supportive care and management of iatrogenic effects due to three main types of symptomatic therapeutics: erythropoietins, bisphosphonates and opioids. Based on this photograph of accompanying cancer care, the development in an institution of an health care will be presented for ambulatory management of day hospital for chemotherapy administration, until full hospitalization in a pilot unit. The link, the differences and complementaries between the teams in curative and palliative phases will be discussed to define the role and importance of the overall look and unifying supportive care in oncology

Despite increasing progress in screening and treatment, it is estimated that 2.7 million new cancer cases are diagnosed annually in Europe. Over half of these cases in men and more than a third in women are considered incurable at diagnosis. At this stage, the goals shift from disease control to improving the quality of life. However, during the course of the disease, the prevalence and impact of symptoms in advanced cancer negatively affect patients' quality of life and lead to undesirable polypharmacy. Indeed, this polypharmacy can potentially cause adverse effects and detrimental drug interactions for the patient's quality of life. As a result, the scientific literature is increasingly interested in poly palliation, the idea that a single treatment could, through its pharmacological effects, address multiple symptoms simultaneously. This concept has particularly emerged following the definition of symptom clusters, which involve the potential interaction of symptoms sharing a common epidemiology, such as the anorexia-cachexia cluster or the neuropsychological cluster. Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant that, based on in vitro effects on receptors such as HT3 and H1 receptors, suggests clinical efficacy in various symptoms such as nausea, anorexia, depression, breathlessness, and sleep disorders. However, the literature data remain unclear regarding the actual effects and safety of this treatment for alleviating various symptoms in advanced cancer. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify the symptoms for which this therapy may be relevant in the management of patients with advanced cancer. This review led to the development of a controlled randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of Mirtazapine compared to another antidepressant (Escitalopram) in managing the poly-symptomatology associated with advanced cancer. The published protocol of this study is reported in this manuscript. Finally, it would be highly reductionist at this stage to overlook the advent of new therapeutic techniques that challenge the concept of advanced cancer. To address this, we relied on the management model of peritoneal carcinomatosis to attempt to identify the epidemiology of a symptom cluster (the neuropsychological cluster) during the surgical management of peritoneal carcinomatosis. This allowed us to propose an intervention to improve outcomes for the patient and the healthcare system. The proposed intervention needs to be evaluated to determine its effectiveness and implementability

Introduction: With the increase of cancer cases worldwide, validated and reliable instruments to assess care needs of oncologic patients are fundamental in offering proper services to people with cancer. Objective: To analyze evidence of validity of the Brazilian version of the Supportive Care Needs Survey - Short Form 34 (SCNS-SF34) in assessing the oncological healthcare needs of patients assisted in Manaus. Methods: A methodological study with a convenience sample composed of 691 adult cancer patients, assisted at Fundação Centro de Controle de Oncologia do Estado do Amazonas (FCECON), from April to July 2016. The source of information for the data collection was a form with sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as, the SCNS-SF34 survey approved for Brazilian Portuguese. For the sample, 20 patients were considered for each item of SCNS-SF34. A total of 691 patients were divided into two sub-samples (Sample A=350 and Sample B=341) for the psychometric analysis. The t student test was used to compare sociodemographic and clinical variables (sex, age group, treatment time) and SCNS-SF34 total score. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed by using statistical software FACTOR 10.3. In order to calculate internal consistency, the Cronbach\'s alpha was performed and the statistical software Mplus 7.3 was used to evaluate the invariance of the factorial model across gender (male vs female), age group (adult vs elderly) and length of treatment ( 6 vs 6 months). The convergent validity analysis of SCNS-SF34 was performed with the Katz index for daily life activity. Results: Out of 691 patients, the majority (92.6%) were from the state of Amazonas, of which 68.2% were from the city of Manaus. The patients were female (72.6%), with an age < 60 (64.4%), a mean age 53.7 ± 13.28, lived with companion (54.5%) and did not need caregivers (55.3%). The most frequent tumor was located in the male and female reproductive systems (55.6%), with the predominance of female breast cancer (33.9%), followed by the digestive system (17.7%) with tumors of the stomach (6.3%). Regarding treatment, the majority of patients underwent surgery (56.1%) and chemotherapy (60.8%), and the diagnostic and treatment time six months was, respectively, 74.4% and 54.4%. The total mean score of the scale was 76.06 ± 23.50, with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 170, given that adult patients had a higher need for care than the elderly, respectively, 77.7 ± 23.79 and 72.97 + 22.74 points (p = 0.010). According to the SCNS SF-34 the patients presented low level of supportive care needs. After EFA and CFA, the scale consisted of 34 items and four domains: Physical and daily life (items 1-5), Psychological (6-14 and 17) and Sexuality (15, 16 and 31). The items 18 and 19 were grouped into the domain called Care and Support (21-30 and 32-33). The adjustment indexes obtained through the AFC for the new model (X2 = 1828,981; df = 520; X2/df = 3,51, p<0,001; CFI = 0,926; TLI= 0,918; RMSEA = 0,084 (I.C. 90%= 0,082 - 0,090) were classified as good. The invariance analysis across the different groups (sex, age group and treatment time) was invariant for all groups, without affecting the indices at any of the levels of invariance. The convergent validity between the domains of SCNS-SF34 and Katz Index for daily life activity was statistically significant. Conclusion: The SCNS SF-34, composed by four domains and thirty-four 34 items, has proved to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure the healthcare needs of cancer patients assisted in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, regardless of sex, age group and treatment time. However, the factor structure found is still capable of improvements to the best fit of the model. The use of the SCNS-SF-34 in the clinical settings can contribute to improve the quality of care for this group of patients.

Um número desconhecido de pacientes com câncer experimenta reações e interações de drogas graves, podendo resultar em hospitalização e até em morte. Particularmente, pacientes portadores de neoplasia maligna comumente recebem um grande número de medicamentos, além de receberem drogas com alto risco de efeitos adversos. Desta forma, dois estudos foram realizados como base para esta tese: uma revisão sistemática e em estudo retrospectivo. A revisão sistemática da literatura avaliou os estudos publicados sobre a epidemiologia de interações medicamentosas em pacientes com câncer. A busca identificou 8 estudos: 7 artigos publicados no PubMed e um resumo publicado nos proceedings do congresso da sociedade americana de oncologia (ASCO). A maioria dos estudos era retrospectiva e avaliou potenciais interações medicamentosas, com apenas dois estudos publicados sobre reais interações medicamentosas. Aparentemente, um terço dos pacientes oncológico ambulatoriais recebe combinações de drogas com risco de interação. Os principais fatores de risco para interações medicamentosas são: idade avançada, número crescente de medicações, presença de lesões cerebrais (primárias ou secundárias) e pacientes que recebem drogas consideradas de risco como anticonvulsivantes, varfarina e anti-inflamatórios hormonais e não-hormonais. O segundo estudo desta tese avaliou a prevalência de potenciais interações medicamentosas entre pacientes com câncer terminal. Desta forma, nós revisamos retrospectivamente os prontuários de todos os pacientes com câncer que foram atendidos no ambulatório de Cuidados Paliativos, do Hospital Princess Margaret, Toronto, Canadá, num período de 8 meses. As listas de medicações foram rastreadas para interações pelo programa eletrônico Drug Interaction Facts, que classifica as interações por nível de gravidade (maior, moderada e menor) e evidência científica (1 a 5, onde 1 = maior nível de evidência). Dentre os 372 pacientes avaliados, 250 interações medicamentosas potenciais foram identificadas em 115 pacientes (31%, 95% Intervalo de Confiança 26 - 36%), predominantemente envolvendo varfarina e fenitoína. A maioria das potenciais interações foi classificada como de gravidade moderada (59%) e 41,5% possuíam níveis de evidência 1-3. Na análise multivariada, idade crescente (p<0,001), pelo menos uma comorbidade (p=0,001), tipo de câncer (tumores cerebrais, p<0,001) e número crescente de medicamentos utilizados (p<0,001) foram associados a risco de interações medicamentosas. Portanto, concluiu-se que potenciais interações medicamentosas são comuns entre pacientes oncológicos que estejam recebendo cuidados de suporte exclusivos, sendo que a maioria envolve varfarina e/ou anticonvulsivantes. Fatores de risco incluem idade avançada, pacientes com múltiplas comorbidades, tumores cerebrais e aqueles que utilizam muitas medicações.
Background: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) comprise an important problem in medical oncology practice. We systematically reviewed the frequency of DDIs in oncology. Methods: We searched PubMed for eligible articles and online databases abstracts of major oncology meetings. Results: Eight studies reported on the frequency of DDIs: six evaluated the frequency of potential DDIs while 2 studies reported on real DDIs, i.e. interactions that had clinical consequences. Studies of potential DDIs found that approximately one third of patients are exposed to dangerous drug doublets, with the most common ones involving warfarin and anticonvulsants. One study of real DDIs found that 2% of hospitalized cancer patients had a DDI as the cause of admission. Conclusion: Drug interactions comprise an important issue in oncology, with approximately one third of ambulatory cancer patients being at risk of DDIs. Data are limited on the clinical consequences of drug interactions among cancer patients.

Cancers causes a disruption in the lives of patients and their caregivers. They must assume new responsibilities that can lead to health problems, altered quality of life, and adjustment difficulties (e.g., impaired emotional, physical, social, and professional functioning, somatic symptoms, emotional distress). Thus, caregivers need support from health professionals to cope with their role but they frequently report unmet supportive care needs. This thesis work is a part of a more global research program and aims to better understand the supportive care needs of caregivers of cancer patients and their determinants, in particular through emotional processes. The first study of this work validated the French version of a scale assessing the unmet supportive care needs of caregivers of cancer patients. The second study identified profiles of caregivers at higher risk of having at least one moderate or high unmet supportive care need from intrapersonal factors (i.e. emotional distress) and socio-demographic and medical variables (e.g., age of patients and caregivers, metastatic cancer). Finally, the third study tested the theoretical model of the thesis work, already validated for cancer patients, which considers that the emotional competence of caregivers can reduce their unmet supportive care needs by reducing their anxiety and depression symptoms. The results highlight the importance of identifying and addressing the unmet supportive care needs of caregivers, especially related to cancer care, information, and psychological and emotional support. Some profiles of caregivers may represent a population at higher risk of having difficulties and requiring more attention from professionals. Finally, taking into account emotional processes, including emotional competence and anxiety and depression symptoms, may be essential in the supportive care of caregivers

"Bénéfices d’un programme de réentrainement à l’effort chez des patientes atteintes d’un cancer du sein HER2-positif, en cours de traitement par trastuzumab en adjuvant. : impact sur la toxicité cardiaque, le déconditionnement, la fatigue et la qualité de vie relative à la santé." Thesis, Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018UBFCE021.
Overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer is associated with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab improves overall survival but it is associated with cardiotoxicity, including a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The objective of this thesis work was to evaluate, in patients followed in medical oncology for HER2-positive breast cancer, and treated exclusively with trastuzumab, the effects of a supervised, tailored exercise program (55 minutes, 3 days/week, 12 weeks), combining moderate and high intensities, on cardiotoxicity, as assessed by LVEF and left ventricular longitudinal deformation (LVLD) measured by echocardiography; and on cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, pain and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Fifty-eight patients were randomized into two groups: control (CG, n=28, 49.9±9 years) and training (TG, n=30, 50.4±7.8 years). All variables were analyzed pre- (T0) and post-intervention (T3) and 3 months later (T6). At T0, VO2 peak (mL.min-1.kg-1), measured by a maximal graded exercise, was low in both groups (GE: 24.7 ± 1.4 and GC: 23.8 ± 1.3) without the difference being significant. At T3, LVEF and LVLD did not decrease compared to baseline values. The percentage of patients who did not have cardiac toxicity was greater in the TG (89.3%) than in the CG (84%). In those who developed cardiotoxicity (n=7), LVEF decreased by 10.8% at T3. Maximal workload (MW), VO2 peak and VO2/HR were greater compared to values recorded at T0. Training improves aerobic capacity highlighted by delayed onset of both ventilatory thresholds with higher average workload and VO2 in the TG. Lactatemia was not significantly different but the MW was greater than those developed in pre-training, indicating lower metabolic acidosis. Training intensities increased from 70 to 87 W at base and from 92 to 110 W at peak. In addition, scores for general and physical fatigue, interference and pain intensity decreased, and those for HRQoL increased. Improvements in MW and VO2 peak were associated with less general fatigue, lower pain interference and better HRQoL. Finally, no variable was associated with the scores of the various dimensions of the QLQ-C30, except for age, which was significantly associated with the "fatigue" dimension (OR: 0.081, 95% CI [0.007-0.893]; p<0.04). Accordingly, patients over 50 years old are more likely to feel increased fatigue. At T6, although some variables were slightly lower than those measured at T3, they remained higher than those observed at T0.Our results demonstrate that patients with HER2-positive breast cancer undergoing adjuvant trastuzumab tolerated the exercise training well, without side-effects. Furthermore, this supervised exercise program is an effective strategy to limit the cardiac toxicity of trastuzumab. Moreover, training improves cardiorespiratory and metabolic capacity during exercise (maximum and sub maximal), reduces fatigue and pain, and ultimately improves the quality of life of breast cancer patients. These beneficial effects were prolonged 3 months after the intervention. Tailored training may therefore provide additional benefits on top of the usual cancer treatment and prevent exacerbations of physiological toxicities that occur as a result of treatment

Introduction: Hematologic malignancies require aggressive treatment, including intensivechemotherapy and sometimes hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The repercussions of cancer and its treatment is recognized for their significant long-term adverse effects on health-related quality of life. As a part of cancer treatment, physical exercise is known to improve mainly physical functioning and fatigue, but there are still questions regarding its impact on psychological and emotional functioning. Nonetheless, heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) is recognized for its positive effects on autonomic nervous system balance and emotional self-regulation. Recent research in neurocardiology has shown the benefits of Cardiac Coherence (CC) training on the autonomic balance and the psycho-emotional state. Method: The objectives of the research undertaken in this thesis are to evaluate the effects of a nonpharmacological intervention on quality of life in adult hematologic patients in post-treatment time. The recovery of physiological balance is indexed by the Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which is recognized as a window of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). We present four studies: an experimental study in healthy subjects to better understand the mechanisms of HRV during slow and deep breathing; a feasibility study on the implementation of an APA program in hematology; preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of a program associating APA and CC on HRV, quality of life, fatigue and anxiety-depression; and a qualitative study evaluating the program’s implementation and the effects of the both interventions. Results: Our results first show the feasibility of APA and CC in these patients. Although the results of the HRV analysis are inconclusive, they tend to confirm that CC intervention results in stimulation of vagal tone. Qualitative evaluation provides us with many important insights into the appropriateness of the interventions to the specific needs of the patients and their effectiveness in optimizing a return to the active daily life. Discussion: This research provides new experimental evidence in understanding the mechanisms of cardiac coherence and its applications in the clinical setting. Further experimentation is still needed to deepen our knowledge in the context of a psychophysiological approach in APA on cancer

US asthma prevalence increased by five million in the last decade and health care spending for the disease increased from $53 billion to $56 billion. Children are more likely than adults to have an asthma attack and its estimated that 1-in-10 youth has asthma. Despite initiatives to promote adherence to practice guidelines, childhood asthma emergency room) visits, and hospitalizations remain steady while the number of asthma deaths have increased over a 17-year period. Preliminary studies find the majority of adolescents prefer smartphones as a means of education and guidance. A modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) survey was comprised of 15 statements that explored providers’ acceptance of smartphone applications (apps) as an adjunct strategy for management of asthma among adolescents in the outpatient setting. Current insight in adolescent asthma demonstrates multifaceted disparities in care stemming from biological and developmental transitions unique to adolescents. The quantitative, descriptive design of the project assessed two factors integral to the TAM related to provider acceptance and perception: 1) Perceived use (PU), and 2) Perceived ease of use (PEU). The survey sample consisted of 18 providers. Overwhelmingly, the majority of providers surveyed favored use of a smartphone app for adolescent asthma and believed apps had the potential to improve the quality of adolescent asthma management. Most participants agreed; smartphone apps might help accomplish benchmarks for adolescent asthma management. Numerous studies demonstrate adolescents’ preference for technological interventions for self-management of their asthma symptoms. The survey results reinforce the willingness of providers to accept asthma smartphone apps as a potential adjunct management strategy for adolescent asthma. Additional studies involving providers are required to further explore provider attitudes of acceptance and rejection relating to smartphone apps for chronic health conditions.
