Cancer-related fatigue is a multifactorial condition that affects most people undergoing chemotherapy. To elucidate potential biological underpinnings of fatigue, this study tested correlations between patient-reported fatigue and (1) functional measures and (2) transcriptomics of whole blood.

The purpose of this secondary analysis was to explore paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy severity patterns among women with breast cancer receiving weekly or dose dense paclitaxel regimens.

The primary goal of the Campania Oncology Network (ROC) was to reduce cancer delay and care fragmentation through the establishment of cancer-specific multidisciplinary oncologic groups (GOMs) and diagnostic and therapeutic assistance paths (PDTAs).

Recent reproductive technology for cancer patients has provided multiple options to preserve their fertility. Preserving fertility can increase quality of life of cancer patients. However, medical service providers and patients face difficulties in the decision-making process for the fertility preserving treatment because studies focusing on the concept of decision-making and various intervention materials are lack. This review aims to identify the attributes of interventions of studies on decision-making support interventions in cancer patients considering fertility preservation and provide best evidence for health professionals.

The purpose of this study was to explore how men with advanced lung cancer form perceptions of their illness in everyday life and how this influences perceptions about rehabilitation.

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most reported long-term effects breast cancer patients experience after diagnosis. Many interventions for CRF are effective, however, not for every individual. Therefore, intervention advice should be adjusted to patients' preferences and characteristics. Our aim was to develop an overview of eHealth interventions and their (preference sensitive) attributes.

The aim of this study is to analyse the experience of fertility preservation among female oncological patients.

We aim to evaluate anxiety, depression and fear of cancer progression in newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer when cancer care was returning to normal after COVID-19 by comparing them with the pre-COVID patients and explore the association of worries about further cancer care and loneliness with them.

Eribulin treatment improved overall survival with predictable toxicities in phase 3 trials of patients with previously treated, locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer. This study (NCT02443428) prospectively observed eribulin-treated patients in real-world clinical practice.

This study aimed to identify the relationships among sexual function, marital intimacy, type D personality and quality of life (QoL) in patients with ovarian cancer, with spouses.

This study aims to analyse patients' clinical profiles seen at an emergency unit of a public oncology reference hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the socio-economic outcomes of survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

Routinely used performance status scales, assessing patients' suitability for cancer treatment, have limited ability to account for multimorbidity, frailty and cognition. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a suggested alternative, but research detailing its use in oncology is limited. This study aims to evaluate if CFS is associated with prognosis and care needs on discharge in oncology inpatients.

This survey aimed to analyse healthy citizens (HC), cancer patients and their caregivers (CP&CG) perception about cancer care among six different Italian regions.

The use of adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) after primary treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer reduces the risk of recurrence and mortality. However, non-adherence is still common. Limited consideration has been given to how users deal with AET and the role of pharmaceutical care. Therefore, this study aims to obtain insight into the needs and wishes of women using AET regarding pharmaceutical care and eHealth.

Existing research has found that both lung cancer patients and their informal caregivers reported higher level of emotional distress and psychological maladjustment. However, limited attention has been afforded to collective emotional experiences in patient-caregiver dyad, especially during progression-free survival.

Childhood cancer survivors experience reduced physical activity level, participation as well as health-related quality of life. This prospective, pre-/post-intervention and follow-up cohort study aims to determine the efficacy of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation on improving physical fitness, fatigue and body composition.

This systematic review aimed to provide a critical summary of studies of physical activity (PA) and diet among racial/ethnic minority cancer survivors. Guided by the socio-ecological model, we identified factors across multiple levels-individual, family/social support, provider/team, and organization/local community/policy environment-that affect PA and diet among racial/ethnic minority survivors.

Breast cancer survivors face a dual burden of physical and psychological challenges, which may persist long after treatment. This study aims to evaluate the physical impairments and psychological outcomes among breast cancer survivors compared to individuals without breast cancer.
