Study conducted by researchers at Kaiser Permanente found women diagnosed with colorectal cancer who had low social support before diagnosis were more likely to succumb to their illness. (nfcr.org)
A new study from researchers at Kaiser Permanente sheds light on the importance of social support for women diagnosed with colorectal cancer . (nfcr.org)
Because March is colorectal cancer awareness month, understanding the critical role of social support for women diagnosed with the disease can help health care providers, caregivers, and communities take steps to ensure that women affected by the illness receive the proper support at the time they need it most. (nfcr.org)
Led by Candyce Kroenke, MPH, ScD, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, the study analyzed data from 1,429 women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative, a long-term national study focused on strategies to prevent heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. (nfcr.org)
Kroenke and her team focused on the women's social support systems - including personal connections, links with their communities, and living status (single, cohabitating, or married) - and discovered that women diagnosed with colorectal cancer who reported low social support prior to their diagnosis experienced 42 percent higher mortality than those who reported high levels of support.

Indeed, the team found that K14 levels are quite low in primary tumors and large metastases but high in small, traveling clusters of cells. (futurity.org)
If a melanoma is identified and treated at an early stage, the likelihood of synchronous lymph node metastases is quite low, and patients are usually treated with wide local excision alone. (medscape.com)
Thus, sentinel lymph node biopsy with selective lymph node dissection has been embraced as an alternative to elective lymphadenectomy or observation for patients with clinically negative regional lymph nodes who are at risk for nodal metastases. (medscape.com)
The objectives of combining sentinel lymph node biopsy with selective lymphadenectomy in clinical practice include both decreasing the extent of the operation for selected patients (decreasing the number of nontherapeutic lymphadenectomies) and increasing the identification rate of occult lymph node metastases (increasing the accuracy of staging) by providing the pathologist with the lymph node (or nodes) most likely to contain metastatic disease.
