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.
The primary objective of this study was to determine levels of patient satisfaction with current first-day teaching practices at a large, academic Canadian Radiation Therapy Department. A secondary objective was to investigate patient preferences in learning styles and modes of information delivery.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a significant toxicity experienced by some patients undergoing cisplatin-based chemoradiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Therefore, SNHL risk profiles were created based on demographics, hearing thresholds, and treatment parameters.
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.
