Validation of the English and Mandarin versions of the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory in an Asian population.
Journal of health psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Jianlin Liu, Rathi Mahendran, Shi Min Chua, Kevin F.y. Lam, Haikel A. Lim, Sangita Kuparasundram, Yiong Huak Chan, Sebastian Simard, Ee Heok Kua, Konstadina GrivaAbstract:The Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory has shown adequate psychometric properties to assess for fear of Cancer Recurrence among Cancer survivors. However, the use of the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory in Asia is limited due to the paucity of validation studies. Participants include 331 Cancer survivors who completed the English and newly developed Mandarin versions of the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory. The results revealed that both versions of the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory demonstrated satisfactory internal reliability, test–retest reliability, convergent validity, and concurrent validity. A confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the original seven-factor structure. The validated Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory is applicable to Cancer survivors in Singapore.

Use of magnetic resonance imaging in detection of breast Cancer Recurrence: a systematic review
Annals of surgical oncology, 2012Co-Authors: Edel M. Quinn, Andrew P. Coveney, Henry Paul RedmondAbstract:Background Diagnosis of breast Cancer Recurrence can be difficult as a result of the presence of scar tissue in the breast. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be superior to traditional imaging in diagnosis of Recurrence because of its ability to differentiate malignancy from scarring. Current guidelines on investigation of suspected breast Cancer Recurrence recommend MRI when other investigations have equivocal findings. We performed the first systematic review on this topic.

Cancer Recurrence and Regional Anesthesia: The Theories, the Data, and the Future in Outcomes
Pain Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Linda Le-wendling, Olga Nin, Xavier CapdevilaAbstract:OBJECTIVE: More than one million people each year in the United States are diagnosed with Cancer. Surgery is considered curative, but the perioperative phase represents a vulnerable period for residual disease to spread. Regional anesthesia has been proposed to reduce the incidence of Recurrence by attenuating the sympathetic nervous system's response during surgery, reducing opioid requirements thus diminishing their immunosuppressant effects, and providing antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects directly through systemic local anesthetic action. In this article, we present a description of the perioperative period, a summary of the proposed hypotheses and available literature on the effects of regional anesthesia on Cancer Recurrence, and put regional anesthesia in context in regard to its potential role in reducing Cancer Recurrence during the perioperative period. METHODS: A literature review was conducted through PubMed by examining the following topics: effects of surgery on tumor progression, roles of multiple perioperative variables (analgesics, hypothermia, blood transfusion, beta-blockade) in Cancer Recurrence, and available in vitro, animal, and human studies regarding the effects of regional anesthesia on Cancer Recurrence. RESULTS: in vitro, animal and human retrospective studies suppport the hypothesis that in certain types of Cancer, regional anesthesia may be associated with lower Recurrence rates. A few well-planned human randomized clinical trials are currently under way that may provide more solid evidence to substantiate or refute the benefits of regional anesthesia in reducing Cancer Recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The benefits of regional anesthesia in reducing Cancer Recurrence have a sound theoretical basis and, in certain Cancers, are supported by the existing body of literature. This article outlines the current state of our knowledge on the relationship between Cancer progression and regional analgesia
