Assessing and Improving the Interpretation of Breast Images: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309378352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Millions of women undergo screening mammography regularly with the hope of detecting breast cancer at an earlier and more curable stage. But the ability of such screening to accurately detect early cancers depends on the quality of mammography, including high-quality image acquisition and interpretation. To help ensure the quality of mammography, Congress passed the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) in 1994 and last reauthorized it in 2004. In advance of its expected reauthorization in 2007, Congress requested a consensus study from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommending ways...

Appropriate Use of Advanced Technologies for Radiation Therapy and Surgery in Oncology: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309381291 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent years, the field of oncology has witnessed a number of technological advances, including more precise radiation therapy and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Three-dimensional (3D), stereotactic, and proton-beam radiation therapy, as well as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, can enhance clinician's ability to treat conditions that were clinically challenging with conventional technologies, and may improve clinical outcomes or reduce treatment-related problems for some patients. Both patients and physicians seek access to these new technologies, which are rapidly being...

Ensuring Patient Access to Affordable Cancer Drugs: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309312707 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent years, patients' out-of-pocket costs for cancer care have been rising rapidly. These costs include health insurance deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments for covered services, as well as services that are not covered by insurance. Many cancer patients are especially vulnerable financially because their illness and/or treatment impedes their ability to work, with some patients losing employment altogether. Even with insurance, cancer patients often experience financial hardships, such as going into debt, depleting all assets to pay for cancer treatment, and personal bankruptcy....

Comprehensive Cancer Care for Children and Their Families: Summary of a Joint Workshop by the Institute of Medicine and the American Cancer Society
ISBN: 9780309374415 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Childhood cancer is an area of oncology that has seen both remarkable progress as well as substantial continuing challenges. While survival rates for some pediatric cancers present a story of success, for many types of pediatric cancers, little progress has been made. Many cancer treatments are known to cause not only significant acute side effects, but also lead to numerous long-term health risks and reduced quality of life. Even in cases where the cancer is considered curable, the consequences of treatment present substantial long-term health and psychosocial concerns for children, their...

The Role of Clinical Studies for Pets with Naturally Occurring Tumors in Translational Cancer Research: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309379908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Traditional preclinical mouse models of cancer have been very useful for studying the biology of cancer, however they often lack key characteristics of human cancers. As a result, many novel drug candidates fail in human clinical trials despite evidence of drug efficacy in those preclinical models. Thus, researchers are seeking new approaches to augment preclinical knowledge before undertaking clinical trials for human patients. Recently, there has been renewed interest in comparative oncology - the study of naturally developing cancers in animals as models for human disease - as...

Contemporary Issues for Protecting Patients in Cancer Research: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309306669 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the nearly 40 years since implementation of federal regulations governing the protection of human participants in research, the number of clinical studies has grown exponentially. These studies have become more complex, with multisite trials now common, and there is increasing use of archived biospecimens and related data, including genomics data. In addition, growing emphasis on targeted cancer therapies requires greater collaboration and sharing of research data to ensure that rare patient subsets are adequately represented. Electronic records enable more extensive data collection and...

Cancer Care in Low-Resource Areas: Cancer Prevention and Early Detection: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309391016 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Though cancer was once considered to be a problem primarily in wealthy nations, low- and middle-income countries now bear a majority share of the global cancer burden, and cancer often surpasses the burden of infectious diseases in these countries. Effective low-cost cancer control options are available for some malignancies, with the World Health Organization estimating that these interventions could facilitate the prevention of approximately one-third of cancer deaths worldwide. But these interventions remain inaccessible for many people in the world, especially those residing in...

Policy Issues in the Development and Adoption of Biomarkers for Molecularly Targeted Cancer Therapies: Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309368575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A long-held goal in oncology has been to develop therapies that target the specific abnormalities in each patient's cancer rather than simply treating cancers based on the tissue of origin. In the past decade, advances in technology have enabled researchers to relatively quickly and inexpensively determine, in minute detail, the genetic makeup of tumors. Although relatively few targeted cancer therapies are currently available in the clinic and it is not yet clear whether all cancers are driven by genetic changes that can be targeted, there is widespread optimism in the cancer community...

Policy Issues in the Clinical Development and Use of Immunotherapy for Cancer Treatment: Proceedings of a Workshop
ISBN: 9780309442329 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Immunotherapy is a form of cancer therapy that harnesses the bodya (TM)s immune system to destroy cancer cells. In recent years, immunotherapies have been developed for several cancers, including advanced melanoma, lung cancer, and kidney cancer. In some patients with metastatic cancers who have not responded well to other treatments, immunotherapy treatment has resulted in complete and durable responses. Given these promising findings, it is hoped that continued immunotherapy research and development will produce better cancer treatments that improve patient outcomes. With this...
