Understanding Cancer Treatment Delay and Survival
Background: The diagnosis to treatment interval (DTI) is important for patient disease management and survival among patients with cancer. Guidance for conducting studies examining the association between the DTI and overall survival (OS) is needed to address potential bias, improve methodological …

Micro and nanotechnology for cancer treatment
Cancer is responsible for over 7.6 million deaths worldwide; the majority of patients fail to respond to drugs or become resistant over time. In order to gain a better understanding of drug efficacy in patients, we developed three diagnostic technologies to address limitations in sample acquisition …

Exploring Factors Associated with Regret Following Cancer Treatment
Following a diagnosis of cancer, patients are often faced with important medical decisions regarding their treatment. This decision-making process can be difficult as patients may not receive sufficient information about their options or may struggle to interpret the information they do receive. An …

Cancer Treatment-Related Fatigue: Psychometric Testing of the Cancer Treatment-Related Fatigue Representation Scale (CTRFRep) in Patients Undergoing Radiation Treatment for Cancer
Cancer treatment-related fatigue (CTRF) is recognized as a prevalent and bothersome symptom for patients with cancer. In a model of the CTRF experience, CTRF representation, or the beliefs, thoughts and emotions surrounding the experience of CTRF, is believed to mediate the relationship between …

Meeting the challenges: carbon-hydrogen bond activation and cancer treatment
… core/shell iron/iron oxide nanoparticles for the treatment of cancer. Biocompatible dopamineoligoethylene glycol functionalized bimagnetic core/shell Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared via ligand exchange, and purified by repeated dispersion/magneto-precipitation cycles. A porphyrin (TCPP) has …
