RESUMO

PURPOSE: Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS) scale is one of the most commonly used and validated measures to assess the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in this population. However, there are some aspects related to its structure that still deserve consideration. The aim of this study was to test the substantive improvement over the original QLACS structure resulting from several proposals reflected in the literature. METHOD: Using a cross-sectional design and Confirmatory Factorial Analysis, we explored those proposals. Reliability, convergent validity, and factor invariance across three cancer survivorships phases (re-entry, early, and long term) were also analyzed. 1.862 post-treatment survivors of diverse cancer types completed the Spanish versions of QLACS, Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18), and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). RESULTS: The original model with twelve domains, grouped (with the exception of benefits) into a single total score, versus two subtotal (Generic and Cancer-specific) obtained a good fit. The values of Cronbach's alpha, Composite reliability, Average Variance Extracted indexes, and Pearson correlations supported the internal consistency and temporal stability (interval of 2-3 weeks) of the QLACS. Results also showed its adequate convergent validity and an invariant factor structure across survival periods (re-entry survivorship, early survivorship, long-term survivorship). CONCLUSION: In its original structure, albeit the replacement of the scores on the two subscales by a total score, our results support QLACS as a valid and useful tool for the assessment of HRQoL in post-treatment cancer survivors throughout the different survival phases.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Primary care (PC) is the first contact between the patient and the doctor, so it is essential to be clear about the criteria for suspecting a genetic disease and where it should be referred for study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four scientific societies: the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC), the Spanish Association of Human Genetics (AEGH), the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP) and the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), have reviewed the criteria for referral to the clinical genetics services of the different published guidelines with the purpose of define the recommendations for PC. CONCLUSIONS: With this consensus document, the PC doctor and pediatrician will know when, how and where to refer their patients with hereditary and/or genetic pathology to clinical genetics services.

RESUMO

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women in Spain and its annual incidence is rapidly increasing. Thanks to the screening programs in place, nearly 90% of breast cancer cases are detected in early and potentially curable stages, despite the COVID-19 pandemic possibly having impacted these numbers (not yet quantified). In recent years, locoregional and systemic therapies are increasingly being directed by new diagnostic tools that have improved the balance between toxicity and clinical benefit. New therapeutic strategies, such as immunotherapy, targeted drugs, and antibody-drug conjugates have also improved outcomes in some patient subgroups. This clinical practice guideline is based on a systematic review of relevant studies and on the consensus of experts from GEICAM, SOLTI, and SEOM.

RESUMO

Understanding the biological aspects of immune response in HER2+ breast cancer is crucial to implementing new treatment strategies in these patients. It is well known that anti-HER2 therapy has improved survival in this population, yet a substantial percentage may relapse, creating a need within the scientific community to uncover resistance mechanisms and determine how to overcome them. This systematic review indicates the immunological mechanisms through which trastuzumab and other agents target cancer cells, also outlining the main trials studying immune checkpoint blockade. Finally, we report on anti-HER2 vaccines and include a figure exemplifying their mechanisms of action.

RESUMO

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main pathogen in bronchopulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. It can only be eradicated at early infection stages while reduction of its bacterial load is the therapeutic goal during chronic infection or exacerbations. Neonatal screening and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic knowledge has modified the management of CF-patients. A culture based microbiological follow-up should be performed in patients with no infection with P.aeruginosa. At initial infection, inhaled colistin (0,5-2MU/tid), tobramycin (300mg/bid) or aztreonam (75mg/tid) with or without oral ciprofloxacin (15-20mg/kg/bid, 2-3weeks) are recommended. In chronic infections, treatment is based on continuous administration of colistin or with a 28-day on-off regimen with tobramycin or aztreonam. During mild-moderate exacerbations oral ciprofloxacin (2-3weeks) can be administered while serious exacerbations must be treated with intravenous combination therapy (beta-lactam with an aminoglycoside or a fluoroquinolone). Future studies will support antibiotic rotation and/or new combination therapies. Epidemiological measures are also recommended to avoid new P.aeruginosa infections and "patient-to-patient transmission" of this pathogen.
