The Impact

Aim: To investigate the impact of an educational group intervention on self-efficacy and anxiety among women recently diagnosed with breast cancer.Method: A quasi-experimental longitudinal design was used. Women diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing surgery (n = 113) were recruited from a university teaching hospital in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. At pre-admission, the intervention group(n = 57) received a group 90-minute information session (paper documents, video and demonstration) led by a nurse and a physiotherapist, which included material handling and time for questions and discussion. The control group(n = 56) received the usual care. Self-reported questionnaires were filled out at the time of the announcement of surgery(T0), after the training(intervention or usual care, T1) and at the first post-operative follow-up(T2).Results: Quantitative analysis using a mixed model for repeated measures showed no significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of the training session (group vs. individual). A time effect was observed in both groups for self-care and anxiety. In addition, several positive changes weremade in the clinical settings to optimize oncology healthcare.Conclusions: Future research would explore whether these findings reflect actual clinical practices or are more dependent on the specific cancer diagnosis.

Recurrent Breast

Background: Malignant neoplastic lesions of the breast are one of the main causes of cancer death among women. In tumor cells the expression status of Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and c-ERBB2 (HER2/neu) are therapeutically and prognostically important markers affecting the treatment approach, management and prognosis of breast carcinoma. Objective: To explore the relation of receptor status in recurrent breast cancer to age and time of recurrence. Methods: This study was conducted in National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH) and included 81 female patients between 20 to 75 years with recurrent breast cancer. Detection of receptor status of ER +ve/-ve, PR +ve/-ve, Her-2+ve/-ve was based on the immunohistochemistry staining of tissue samples of malignant neoplastic lesions prepared from tissue biopsies of patients with recurrent breast cancer. All the information were recorded through the pre-structured data collection sheet and analyzed. Results: This study showed that most of the recurrent breast cancer patients were Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) (39.5%) and among them most of them were younger patients. Younger patients with TNBC had increased risk of recurrence. Most of the recurrence occurred within 1-2 years. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the assessment of the expression of these biornarkers in recurrent tumors provides reliable information for the treatment approach of locoregional tumors.
