Research summary
تتناول هذه الدراسة استراتيجيات التكيف التي يستخدمها مرضى السرطان خلال فترة العلاج الكيماوي، حيث يواجه المرضى تحديات جسدية ونفسية كبيرة نتيجة للآثار الجانبية للأدوية الكيماوية. تهدف الدراسة إلى تحديد استراتيجيات التكيف المستخدمة من قبل المرضى وعلاقتها بالعمر والجنس. تم جمع البيانات من 150 مريضاً في مشفى تشرين الجامعي باستخدام استبيان التكيف المختصر واستبيان البيانات الديموغرافية. أظهرت النتائج أن المرضى يستخدمون استراتيجيات تكيف متنوعة تشمل استراتيجيات موجهة للمشكلة وأخرى موجهة للمشاعر. كانت أكثر الاستراتيجيات استخداماً هي التكيف الفعال، البحث عن الدعم الاجتماعي الفعال، التخطيط، التركيز والتنفيس عن المشاعر، التقبل، البحث عن الدعم الاجتماعي العاطفي، والتدين. كما أظهرت النتائج أن استراتيجيات التكيف تتغير بتغير العمر والجنس، حيث تميل النساء لاستخدام الاستراتيجيات الموجهة للمشاعر ويميل المسنون لاستخدام الاستراتيجيات المتعلقة بالدعم الاجتماعي العاطفي والتقبل. خلصت الدراسة إلى ضرورة إيلاء المزيد من الاهتمام للجانب النفسي لمرضى السرطان خلال فترة العلاج الكيماوي وإجراء تقييم مستمر لاستراتيجيات تكيفهم وتصميم تداخلات تتسجم مع الأنماط والسلوكيات التكيفية التي يبدونها خلال فترة العلاج.
Critical review
تعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة في فهم استراتيجيات التكيف لدى مرضى السرطان، إلا أنها لم تركز بشكل كافٍ على تأثير العوامل الثقافية والاجتماعية الأخرى التي قد تؤثر على استراتيجيات التكيف. كما أن استخدام عينة غير عشوائية قد يؤثر على تعميم النتائج. من الأفضل في الدراسات المستقبلية استخدام عينات عشوائية وأخذ العوامل الثقافية والاجتماعية بعين الاعتبار لتقديم صورة أكثر شمولية عن استراتيجيات التكيف لدى مرضى السرطان.

Oral complications are common in patients with cancer who undergo chemotherapy treatment. Not all patients are at equal risk for developing oral complications. A number of variables have been identified that bear on both the frequency and severity of oral problems associated with therapy. These can be divided into those that are associated with the patient and those that are related to the treatment regimen. In this study we have studied the effect of patient age and gender on the oral complications in group of patients who undergo chemotherapy treatment. We conclude that aging can affect some oral complication chemotherapy like xerostomia and taste changes whereas gender has it effect on pain and oral sence disorders mainly in males.

Studies demonstrated a prognostic role for postoperative CA 19-9 in patients with resectable pancreatic carcinoma following surgery. Our study aimed to investigate whether CA 19-9 provided similar prognostic information in patients with advanced unre sectable pancreatic cancer treated with chemotherapy and to determine whether such endpoints should therefore be reported in future randomized trials. Between Mars 2014 and December 2015, 36 patients ( median age 57 years, range 38-80 years, 9 females, 27 males ) with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and a baseline Karnofsky-index more than 60 were treated with chemotherapy . Only patients with a bilirubin of less than 2 mg/dL at the time the CA 19-9 was evaluated were included in the analysis to avoid the confounding effect of hyperbilirubinemia. Only patients with basal high CA19-9 were included in the analysis. Survival was measured from the date of first post CRT CA 19-9 level until death or last follow-up. Patients with a decrease of20 < % of the baseline CA19-9 level after 8 weeks of treatment (n=25) had a significantly better median survival than patients with a rise or a decrease < 20% (n-11) (6.98 vs4.68 months; p=0.007). Age and basal CA19-9 did not show significant or a trend for significant differences regarding survival by univariate analysis (P=0.987, p=0.878 respectively). Females had a significantly better median survival than males (7.83 vs 5.75 months, P=0.023).
Background: people with cancer experience great changes in their life as a result of disease, treatment and disease prognosis which affect their quality of life .with the goal of investigating breast cancer patient's quality of life during chemother apy in Tishreen hospital in Latakia.. Methods: 60 patients were invited to complete the European organization of research and treatment quality of life questionnaire version 3 and breast cancer quality of life module during their early stage of chemotherapy. Results : the results show that the (73.3%) were under the age of fifty and half of them reported total health status score under (50) which reflects low quality of life in addition to impaired psychological ,social, cognitive and role functioning. Also more than 67% of patient suffered from chemotherapy- related side effects as nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, and fatigue. In addition to variance in quality of life scores according to age, marital status, occupation and level of education without changing of it by educational level. In addition to that the majority of patient had impaired sexual function and upset of hair loss and arm symptoms but with positive and optimistic future. perspective. No significant differences in quality of life scores were found between urban and rural patients. Conclusion. Health care provider should assess routinely cancer patient quality of life during treatment to ascertain of providing appropriate care with supportive services for all patients
