“…In their study, however, Pinquart and colleagues did not take into account the influence of specific illness variables, while previous studies suggest that patients with different stages and types of cancer may differ in their goal adjustment [7,8]. Indeed, illness variables may influence opportunities for goal attainment (e.g.…”

“…[3,9]), and considering the claim of theories on life-span development that people are used to adjusting to changing opportunities and resources throughout their lives (e.g. [2,10]), it might very well be that cancer patients adjust their goals to what is attainable to maintain well-being [8,11,12].…”

Retinoblastoma is a rare but significant cause of childhood eye cancer world-wide. The prognosis depends upon early diagnosis and treatment but also upon accurate classification of the tumours. Unilateral incidence is normally non-hereditary compared with bilateral incidence where secondary tumours are more common. Survivorship is much better for unilateral compared with bilateral and trilateral retinoblastoma. Early signs are important to detect and photography can assist in identifying no return of "red-eye" during flash photography and yellow appearance of the tumour. Treatment options are discussed together with new psycho-oncology approaches that address potential trauma in the survivor as well as in the family of the survivor.

Identifying patterns of adaptation in breast cancer patients with cancer‐related fatigue using response shift analyses at subgroup level

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fatigue is the most prevalent symptom in breast cancer. It might be perceived differently among patients over time as a consequence of the differing patients’ adaptation and psychological adjustment to their cancer experience which can be related to response shift (RS). RS analyses can provide important insights on patients’ adaptation to cancer but it is usually assumed that RS occurs in the same way in all individuals which is unrealistic. This study aimed to identify patients’ subgroups in which different RS effects on self‐reported fatigue could occur over time using a combination of methods for manifest and latent variables. The FATSEIN study comprised 466 breast cancer patients followed over a 2‐year period. Fatigue was measured with the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory questionnaire (MFI‐20) during 10 visits. A novel combination of Mixed Models, Growth Mixture Modeling, and Structural Equation Modeling was used to assess the occurrence of RS in fatigue changes to identify subgroups displaying different RS patterns over time. An increase in fatigue was evidenced over the 8‐month follow‐up, followed by a decrease between the 8‐ and 24‐month. Four latent classes of patients were identified. Different RS patterns were detected in all latent classes between the inclusion and 8 months (last cycle of chemotherapy). No RS was evidenced between 8‐ and 24‐month. Several RS effects were evidenced in different groups of patients. Women seemed to adapt differently to their treatment and breast cancer experience possibly indicating differing needs for medical/psychological support.
