Objectives To assess the occurrence of questions that foster shared decision making, in particular cancer patients' understanding of treatment decisions and oncologists' understanding of patients' priorities, during consultations in which preference‐sensitive decisions are discussed.
Objective: This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge available on the nature and extent of the relationship between external‐beam radiotherapy (RT) and fear of cancer recurrence (FoR).
Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Systematic review procedures were followed including a quality assessment. Meta‐analysis of suitable studies was conducted.
CHi wil onderzoek in de psychosociale oncologie toegankelijker maken voor het klinische werkveld. Binnen het project 'onderzoeker-in-beeld' interviewen we regelmatig onderzoekers omtrent hun onderzoeksresultaten. In bijlage kan u het gepubliceerde artikel terugvinden.
Background: In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), radiotherapy for CNS prophylaxis is not used in frontline therapy anymore. Standard treatment for ALL nowadays consists of polychemotherapy. Therefore, assessment of potential chemotherapy-induced cognitive side effects becomes important. Although neurotoxicity was demonstrated in cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies remain scarce.
Objective: Alopecia is a common side effect of cancer treatment, affecting approximately 65% of patients. Healthcare providers and allied staff recognize that alopecia is distressing for people with cancer; however, they are often unaware of the extent of distress or the great efforts expended by patients to cope with hair loss. This study reviews the existing literature regarding the psychosocial impact of alopecia on cancer survivors and the coping strategies they use to manage hair loss.
De jaarindex geeft een overzicht van lopend en actueel wetenschappelijk onderzoek in de psychosociale oncologie, en draagt bij aan het doel van de NVPO om de zichtbaarheid van psychosociaal oncologisch onderzoek te vergroten, de translatie van kennis te stimuleren en de implementatie van onderzoeksresultaten in de praktijk aan te moedigen. Deze vierde editie bevat 112 lopende onderzoeksprojecten die het afgelopen jaar zijn afgerond, gecontinueerd dan wel opgestart.
