When Limited Clinical Time With Patients Meets Unlimited Online Information

When Limited Clinical Time With Patients Meets Unlimited Online Information

Before 2012 [14], the average duration of an oncology outpatient encounter ranged from 17 to 23 minutes. While average visit length has remained relatively stable over time [15], the complexity of these visits has increased dramatically [16]. With the development of new treatments, the number of pages in practice guidelines for oncology has almost doubled over the same period [17].

The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Stand-Alone Virtual Reality Headset on Perceived Pain and Anxiety During Bone Marrow Biopsies: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Stand-Alone Virtual Reality Headset on Perceived Pain and Anxiety During Bone Marrow Biopsies: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using VR adjunctively as a nonpharmacological distraction method for bone marrow biopsies to reduce perceived anxiety and pain in an oncology ward setting. The information gained will help to design future studies needed to ensure the efficacy and reliability of the devices.

The Effectiveness of Wearable Electronic Device System–Supported Physical Activity Programs for Cancer Survivors: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

The Effectiveness of Wearable Electronic Device System–Supported Physical Activity Programs for Cancer Survivors: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Owing to these benefits and their portability, studies exploring WEDS-supported PA in oncology rehabilitation have surged dramatically over the past decade [23,29,30]. Positive effects have been observed in improving PA among older adults, adults, and patients with diabetes, cardiovascular-related diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [31-35].

Health-Related Internet Use Among Outpatients Undergoing Cancer Treatment During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Health-Related Internet Use Among Outpatients Undergoing Cancer Treatment During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

This single-point cohort study was conducted at the outpatient hemato-oncology and gynecology departments of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at LMU Klinikum (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Hospital) in Munich, Germany. LMU Klinikum is one of the largest university hospitals in Europe, serving a diverse patient population from both urban and rural regions across Bavaria.

Examining Potential Implicit Bias in Oncologist-Patient Communication (CONNECT): Protocol for an Observational 2-Site Study

Examining Potential Implicit Bias in Oncologist-Patient Communication (CONNECT): Protocol for an Observational 2-Site Study

However, almost no researchers have examined bias in oncology encounters. The impact of implicit bias on the outcomes of ethnic minority patients with advanced cancer may be associated with different mechanisms. Minority patients have reported poor patient-centered communication (eg, respecting and responding to patients’ wants, needs, and preferences), which can influence assessments, recommendations, and outcomes [15].

Identifying Adaptations to an mHealth Alcohol Reduction Intervention for Reducing Alcohol Use in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: Qualitative Study

Identifying Adaptations to an mHealth Alcohol Reduction Intervention for Reducing Alcohol Use in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: Qualitative Study

Oncology providers included physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants who had been in practice for at least 6 months and saw at least 25% adolescent and young adult cancer patients in their practice. Psycho-oncology providers included social workers, psychologists, or other mental health providers who treated adolescent and young adult cancer patients and had been in practice for at least 6 months.

Federated Analysis With Differential Privacy in Oncology Research: Longitudinal Observational Study Across Hospital Data Warehouses

Federated Analysis With Differential Privacy in Oncology Research: Longitudinal Observational Study Across Hospital Data Warehouses

However, even if it has been identified as a next step in some oncology studies [5], to the best of our knowledge it has not been used on real-world oncology data. One possible reason for this can be that data harmonization is actually the sticking point, since it proves to be challenging on real-world data when not already done ahead of time. While FA ensures that sensitive data are never directly exposed, results from statistical queries can still leak some information from individuals.

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Cancer Survivorship: Retrospective Cohort Study”

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Cancer Survivorship: Retrospective Cohort Study”

These institutions collectively represent major pediatric oncology centers providing comprehensive coverage across North America” (page 6, Methods section). 2. Missing answer for seventh objective: The answer to the seventh objective is unclear. Response: We appreciate this important observation. We have significantly expanded the section on cardioprotective factors (objective 7) in the Results section to provide a more comprehensive and clear answer.
