Streamlined Genetic Education Is Effective In Preparing Women Newly Diagnosed With Breast Cancer for Decision-Making About Treatment-Focused Genetic Testing: A Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial

Bettina Meiser

Purpose: Increasingly, women newly diagnosed with breast cancer are being offered treatment-focused genetic testing (‘TFGT’). As the demand for TFGT increases, streamlined methods of genetic education are needed. Patients and Methods: In this non-inferiority trial, women aged <50 with either a strong family history (FH+) or other features suggestive of a germline mutation (FH-) were randomized before definitive breast cancer surgery to receive TFGT education either: as brief written materials (intervention group, IG) or during a genetic counseling session at a familial cancer clinic (FCC, usual care group, UCG). Women completed self-report questionnaires at four time points over 12 months.

Effect of Breakfast Intake on Body Mass Index of Females at One Year after Delivery in Alexandria, Egypt

Dr. Nermeen El Beltagy

One hundred postpartum cases with BMI>25 at one year after delivery were matched with one hundred normal weight control mothers for age between January and December 2014. All study participants were interviewed and dietary behavior was assessed using the Snack and Beverage Food Frequency Questionnaire (SBFFQ).Seven days recall of breakfast and snack intake was done. Mothers’ intake of certain sweet and salty items during the prior seven days was assessed by asking how many days, how many times per day, and how much of the item the mother consumes. Finally, the intake was converted into the total calories consumed for each individual item and was summed to obtain the total daily caloric intake.

Necrotizing Fasciitis as a Rare Documented Side Effect of Docetaxel

Jeffry Beta Tenggara

Docetaxel was frequently used to treat solid tumors, primarily breast cancer by disrupting microtubule function to inhibit cell division. Although this agent was known to cause myalgia, arthralgia and neuropathy, there are few reports since 2005 that published the myositis complication of this agent. We presented a case report of necrotizing fasciitis as a continuing myositis condition that happened after Docetaxel treatment.

Indications, Efficacy and Safety of Chemoport in Children: A Study from a Tertiary Center

Ami Makwana

Long term venous access is cumbersome in the pediatric age group due to thinner caliber veins, easy compromisation of venous integrity and less co-operative nature of children. Few studies are available that look at the use of chemoports in children and their complications.

The Impact of Axillary Limph Node Evaluation On The Prognosis Of Breast Cancer Patients

J. Eglītis

Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women and also the most common cause of cancer related death in women worldwide, including Latvia. During the period from 2009 until 2016, the mortality rates in Latvia have increased from 20,7 to 23,3 per 100,000 inhabitants. Metastatic axillary lymph nodes are one of the important factors predicting prognosis of breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the N ratio on patient survival.
