8. The efficacy of audiotapes in promoting psychological well-being in cancer patients: a randomised, controlled trial

Author

McHugh, P, Lewis, S, Ford, S, Newlands, E, Rustin, G, Coombes, C, Smith, D, O'Reilly, S, and Fallowfield, L

Abstract

Open or uncontrolled studies have suggested that providing cancer patients with audiotapes of their clinical interviews can improve information recall and reduce psychological distress. We tested these hypotheses in a 'clinician-blind', prospective, randomised controlled trial. A total of 117 patients newly referred to a medical oncology clinic who were to be given 'bad news' had their consultations audiotaped. Blind to the clinician, patients were randomly allocated to receive a copy of the tape to play at home or not (control group). At 6 months follow-up, tape group patients reported positive attitudes to the audiotape and were shown to recall significantly more information about their illness than did controls. Overall improvement in psychological distress at 1 and 6 months follow-up, as measured with the 30-item General Health Questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was no different in the two groups. However, a second-order interaction suggested that poor-prognosis patients were disadvantaged specifically by access to the audiotape, with less improvement in psychological distress at 6 months follow-up than non-tape controls. Patient access to audiotapes of clinical interviews promotes factual retention but does not reliably reduce psychological distress and may be actively unhelpful in some subgroups of patients.

17. 352 An open, comparative randomized trial comparing formestane vs oral megestrol acetate as a second-line therapy in postmenopausal advanced breast cancer patients

Author

Rose, C., Freue, M., Kjaer, M., Boni, C., Jänicke, F., Coombes, C., Willemse, P.H.B., van Belle, S., Pérez Carrión, R., and Ibarra de Palacios, P.

Abstract

Formestane (®LENTARON), a synthetic steroid derivative of an-drostenedione is the first selective aromatase inhibitor to become available. The multicentre study of ®LENTARON (250mg i.m. fortnightly) vs megestrol acetate (160mg oral once daily) enrolled 547 patients. All patients had histologically proven advanced breast cancer, had documented relapse of disease while under adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen administered for at least 12 months or had experienced progression of advanced breast cancer after an initial response for at least 3 months while under first-line therapy with tamoxifen and had ER and/or PgR positive or unknown. The primary end-point was time to treatment failure. Secondary endpoints were objective tumour response (in accordance with UICC criteria), time to progression, and overall survival time. Efficacy analysis was performed for the intent to treat patients and for the eligible patients who were evaluable for tumour response and will be presented. Preliminary analysis of safety data indicate a trend of more serious adverse events in the Megace group (pulmonary embolism and vaginal bleeding) in comparison with the ®LENTARON group.
