Factors related to patient participation congruence in decision making among women with breast cancer : a systematic review

Xu, Biwen, 許璧文 January 2014 (has links)
Background Breast cancer prevalence is increasing in most countries. Not only the threat of death and impact of breast cancer treatment, but also the participation roles during treatment decision making can be substantial, leading to psychological distress and poor quality of life. Previous studies have explored patients’ participation preference, the extent of participation congruence and related factors, revealing that women suffering from breast cancer may benefit from participation in treatment decision making whilst participation incongruity could be potentially detrimental for women with breast cancer. Objectives This study aimed to systematically review the literature and summarize the extent of breast cancer patients’ participation preference, participation congruence, and related factors. Methods Multiple searches for key words were conducted through electronic sources, including PubMed, PsycINFO, and Medline via Ovid databases for all relevant English language literature. Studies were selected basing on specific inclusion/exclusion criteria. The STROBE checklist was applied for reporting quality assessment. Results A total of 778 studies were identified. Twelve eligible studies were included in this review. Twelve factors relating to breast cancer women’s participation congruence in treatment decision making were identified as follows: age, nature of preferred role of treatment decision making, educational level, time related issues, language/ethnicity, marital status, information and recommendations of treatment, offering treatment options, physician characteristics, type of therapy or cancer program, stage of breast cancer, and surgeon volume. Conclusions Three themes (i.e. patient oriented, physician-patient interaction, and medical provision) of intervention points towards patient participation congruence were synthesized and discussed, and they were useful for improving the quality of existing breast cancer treatment decision making by addressing patient’s perceived participation congruence. / published_or_final_version / Public Health / Master / Master of Public Health

An investigation of structure activity effects of D-ring substitution of estradiol on estrogen receptor affinity

Khan, Samina E. January 1992 (has links)
The 16α-alkylation was achieved via treatment of 3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one-N,N-dimethylhydrazone (118) with n-butyllithium and the appropriate haloalkane to afford exclusive 16α-substitution (119). Subsequent, cupric ion-catalysed hydrolysis, 17-ketone reduction and removal of the 3-hydroxyl protecting group, furnished 16α-methylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3,17β-diol (122a) and 16α-ethylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3,17β-diol (122b). An alternative sequence to the 16α-ligands, by direct alkylation of the 17-keto-estrone enolate, was also investigated. In this manner 16α-allylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3,17β-diol (122c) and 16α-benzylestra-1,3,5,(10)-trien-3,17β-diol (122d) were obtained.

Prevalence of shoulder morbidity after treatment for breast cancer in South Africa

Kramer, Nicole January 2018 (has links)
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer death among women and represents a considerable public health burden in South Africa and other low-middle income countries. Breast cancer management comprises single or combination treatment including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Short and long-term complications of these treatments include shoulder morbidities such as pain, decreased range of motion, tightness, weakness, pain, numbness and lymphoedema, and may be present for up to 6 years post-surgery. An understanding of baseline demographic and clinical risk factors can guide rehabilitation and management strategies for high risk patients. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analysis of the prevalence of shoulder pain and dysfunction in women attending their post-treatment annual follow up visit for unilateral breast carcinoma. The aim of this study was to quantify the burden of shoulder pain and disability in a tertiary academic hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, and identify potential risk factors for the development of shoulder morbidity. The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of shoulder morbidity and the secondary objective was to evaluate associations between shoulder morbidity and risk factors such as treatment protocol or baseline demographics. Results: The majority of patients were of mixed ancestry, had their left side affected, received ALND and had undergone Modified Radical Mastectomy. The mean age was 60 years with a mean follow-up since surgery of 6 years. Three-quarters of patients reported a presence of pain or disability; 9% experienced severe pain and disability. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis identified race, side, axillary surgery, chemotherapy and age as significant predictors of pain, and chemotherapy a significant predictor of disability. Discussion: The substantial burden of shoulder morbidity in this population represents a significant public health burden. The use of identified clinical and demographic characteristics may guide in the development of survivorship programmes incorporating surveillance and management of these high risk patients.
