Abstract

This study used heart rate variability (HRV) to monitor levels of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and quality of life (QOL) of cancer survivors subjected to program measures at different psychosomatic or functional levels. A longitudinal study was conducted at a cancer center in Taiwan. Fifty-two cancer survivals were randomly assigned to either the mindfulness group (n = 25) or the Qigong group (n = 27). Both groups received a 12-week mindfulness and Qigong programs, respectively. Improvements in CRF, QOL, and HRV after a 12-week program and at the 3-month follow-up point. For the long-term effects in both mindfulness and Qigong groups, CRF showed a significant downward trend (p < 0.05), but a significant upward trend was observed in HRV (p < 0.001). Mindfulness and Qigong exhibited different effectiveness in individuals, indicating that the mental and physical aspects of health are equally essential and should be addressed in a complementary combination. These findings are worthy of being shared with cancer survivors to benefit their physical and mental well-being. We suggest that healthcare professionals incorporate mindfulness and Qigong in cancer survivors’ daily life as means to encourage lifestyle changes for improving their health.

Große Trinkmengen bei Blasentumoren möglicherweise von Nachteil

Beim nicht-muskelinvasiven Blasenkrebs scheint eine hohe Flüssigkeitszufuhr keinen schützenden Effekt in Bezug auf das Risiko eines Rezidivs oder einer Krankheitsprogression zu haben. Eine niederländische Studie legt sogar nahe, dass große Trinkmengen das Fortschreiten der Erkrankung begünstigen könnten.

Urintest auf Prostatakrebs funktioniert mit Erststrahlurin

Ein auf die Expression von 18 Genen gestützter Urintest auf klinisch signifikanten Prostatakrebs könnte offenbar auch in Anwendung auf Erststrahlurin dazu dienen, unnötige Biopsien zu vermeiden.

Perioperative Chemotherapie bei Ösophaguskarzinom die bessere Strategie

Für die multimodale Therapie des resezierbaren, lokal fortgeschrittenen Adenokarzinoms des Ösophagus stehen in der aktuellen Leitlinie zwei Strategien gleichberechtigt zur Auswahl. Nach den Ergebnissen der deutschen ESOPEC-Studie sollte zukünftig der perioperativen Chemotherapie der Vorzug gegeben werden.

Immunkonjugat verlängert Leben bei DLBCL

Werden Lenalidomid und Rituximab bei r/r DLBCL mit Brentuximab-Vedotin kombiniert, verlängert sich das Gesamtüberleben erheblich: in der Studie ECHELON-3 von 8,5 auf 13,8 Monate.
