BACKGROUND Cancer survivors living in rural areas experience unique challenges due to additional burdens, such as travel and limited access to specialists. Rural survivors of breast cancer have reported poorer outcomes, poorer mental health and physical functioning, and lower-than-average quality of life compared to urban survivors. OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility and acceptability of de...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the number, type, and predictors of patients with head and neck cancer unmet survivorship needs. METHODS This study accrued patients with head and neck cancer at any time point in their survivorship course, and they completed a survey, including demographic information and the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs Measure (CaSUN). RESULTS The me...

This annotated bibliography was developed to complement and extend the material on cancer survivorship presented in the State of the Science on Nursing Approaches to Managing Late and Long-Term Sequelae of Cancer and Cancer Treatment, and to provide readers seeking additional information with selected topics in cancer survivorship. The citations were identified through computerized searches of ...

Aims and Objective This systematic literature review explores maps what we know about survivorship to understand how can be theoretically defined. Background Survivorship of critical illness has been identified as a challenge for the 21st Century. Whilst use term ‘survivorship’ is now common in care, it borrowed from cancer where discourse on means context ongoing remains largely descriptive. I...

This multicenter study evaluated survivorship, functional outcomes, complications, and radiographic outcomes for patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using a newly developed highly porous 3-dimensional titanium implant. Excellent aseptic (99.6%) and all-cause (98%) survivorship and functional outcomes were found at 3-year follow-up. This highly porous acetabular shell holds promise in ...

Interactions between predators and their prey are influenced by the habitat they occupy. Using created oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reef mesocosms, we conducted a series of laboratory experiments that created structure and manipulated complexity as well as prey density and "predator-free space" to examine the relationship between structural complexity and prey survivorship. Specifically, volu...

Purpose We aimed to quantify Chinese cancer survivors' perceived needs for survivorship care and to evaluate whether these needs could impact their willingness to use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey with members of the Beijing Anti-Cancer Association in China. We measured perceived needs with the seven-item Brief Chinese Cancer Survivorship Need...

BACKGROUND Although periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) provides conceptual advantages compared with other osteotomies and reportedly is associated with joint survivorship of 60% at 20 years, the beneficial effect of proper acetabular reorientation with concomitant arthrotomy and creation of femoral head-neck offset on 10-year hip survivorship remains unc...
