Exploring the Experiences of Left-Sided Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy Using the Active Breathing Coordinator

The Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) to induce breath hold during radiation therapy is used with the intent to reduce the risk of long-term, radiation-induced cardiovascular morbidity. Many studies have explored the dosimetric and toxicity benefits of using the device, but limited research has been done on the patient's perspective. The aim of this study was to explore the patient's experience using the ABC device and to evaluate the teaching provided.

Assessing the Psychological Impact of Daily Bowel Preparation on Prostate Patients Who Receive Radiation Therapy

Evidence has shown that the prostate moves depending on filling of the rectum and, to a lesser extent, the bladder; many radiation therapy departments have adopted standardized bladder filling/rectal emptying protocols for radiotherapy treatment. Daily treatments may be delayed until appropriate volumes are attained; the resultant psychological impact of these delays on patients is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine levels of anxiety, depression, distress, and bother related to bowel preparation for prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy treatment.
