Needs Assessment For Palliative Care In Pediatric Oncology: An Integrative Literature Review, Tabitha Negrete
Needs Assessment For Palliative Care In Pediatric Oncology: An Integrative Literature Review, Tabitha Negrete
Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium
Abstract
Background: Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental death in childhood. Cancer is the primary disease for which pediatric palliative care services are utilized worldwide. Improvement in pediatric palliative care has been identified as an ongoing research priority. There are still significant gaps in current knowledge of pediatric palliative care because education has not been integrated into curriculum and clinical experiences.
Objectives: The purpose of this integrative literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of current research about the need of nursing education on palliative care for long-term care in pediatric oncology.
Methods: This integrative literature review focused …

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States. Treatment options are wide-‐ ranging based on a multitude of factors, including extent of disease and receptor positivity. Following treatment, a relapse-‐free interval ≥ 2 years carries a more favorable prognosis.
We present a case involving a female with history of breast cancer and relapse-free interval of 15 years who unfortunately presented with metastatic disease involving the liver, bone, and lymph nodes.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare but life threatening adrenal secreting tumor. The infrequency with which it is encountered makes pheochromocytoma, especially in pregnancy, a formidable diagnostic challenge.
Although a pheochromocytoma is rare, it is good to keep it in differential diagnosis as a possible cause of labile BP with headaches and significant orthostatic BP. It is critical to recognize this condition to institute an appropriate therapy & surgical intervention to prevent mortality.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic plasma-cell disorder. This is characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone-marrow (BM) microenvironment, monoclonal protein in blood or urine, and associated organ dysfunction. The treatment options approved by FDA are immune-modulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Unfortunately, MM remains uniformly fatal owing to intrinsic or acquired drug resistance and the median survival time is 3 to 5 years. Thus, there is a great need for novel strategies to combat MM.
The intimate relationship of myeloma cells to BM microenvironment is “hallmark of myeloma”. The homing of …

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Background: Each year 124.9 per 100,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide (National Cancer Institute, n.d.). While it is a serious diagnosis, with modern screening and early detection, survivorship is higher than ever before. The current five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with cancer worldwide is 89.7% (National Cancer Institute, n.d.). The emphasis of this literature review is to address the perceived quality of life of this population. Purpose: The purpose of this literature review was to determine how women who have survived a diagnosis of breast cancer perceive their quality of life (QOL). Methods: This review examined research …

Immunotherapy is currently being used to treat pediatric brain cancer, though its efficacy in treating patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), the deadliest pediatric brain tumor, has not been evaluated. MRI is the gold standard for monitoring tumor response to therapy, but is limited by pseudoresponse and psuedoprogression: post-treatment, immune cells infiltrate the primary tumor causing transient tumor enlargement, which falsely resembles tumor progression on MRI. Thus, it is critical to develop more accurate approaches to monitor tumor response to immunotherapy. Here, we use a liquid biopsy platform we have already established to monitor tumor response to therapy, to …

Systematic Review: Diversity of Enrollment in Multiple Myeloma Drug Trials Among Different Ethnicities

Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Joseph Tariman
Background & Significance: Multiple Myeloma is 2 to 3 times more prevalent in non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs) when compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), and the overall survival is also dissimilar between these two racial groups. Among patients 65 to 74 years of age, the 10-year Relative Survival Rates (RSRs) have been found to be statistically improved for NHWs (13.3% vs. 20.5%; p =p = .06). Since 2003, The FDA has approved 10 new drugs for myeloma treatment and …

There are 6 million people living with HIV; 70% reside in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Furthermore, 1.1 million deaths occur due to opportunistic infections (OIs) that can be minimized with antiretroviral therapy. In Kenya, Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is an especially debilitating OI that presents with dermatologic lesions; magnifying the stigma that patients with HIV face physically and psychosocially. Dermatology research is underway to determine the effectiveness of an unna boot (medicated, layered compression dressing) to speed the healing of these lesions with anecdotal success. Commercially available unna boot products are too expensive and not readily available in SSA. Clinicians from Purdue …
