- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, BACKGROUND: Radium-223 is a registered treatment option for symptomatic bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Aim of this multicenter, prospective observational cohort study was to evaluate health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), psychological distress and fatigue in mCRPC patients treated with radium-223. METHODS: Primary endpoint was cancer-specific and bone metastases-related HR-QoL, as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and BM-22 questionnaires. Secondary endpoints were psychological distress and fatigue, evaluated by the HADS and CIS-Fatigue questionnaires. Outcomes were analyzed for the total cohort and between subgroups (1-3 versus 4-5 versus 6 radium-223 injections). A trajectory analysis was performed to explore HR-QoL patterns over time. RESULTS: In total, 122 patients were included for analysis. Baseline HR-QoL, pain intensity, psychological distress and fatigue were worse in patients who did not complete radium-223 therapy. In patients who completed therapy, stabilization of HR-QoL was perceived and psychological distress and fatigue remained stable, whereas clinically meaningful and statistically significant deterioration of HR-QoL, psychological distress and fatigue over time was observed in patients who discontinued radium-223 therapy. Trajectory analysis revealed that HR-QoL deterioration over time was more likely in patients with baseline opioid use, low hemoglobin and high alkaline phosphatase levels. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who discontinued radium-223 therapy showed worse HR-QoL, psychological distress and fatigue at baseline and more frequent deterioration of HR-QoL, psychological distress and fatigue over time when compared to patients who completed therapy. Specific attention with regard to HR-QoL during follow-up is indicated in patients with opioid use, low hemoglobin and high alkaline phosphatase levels before radium-223 therapy initiation. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04995614.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, Objectives: Objectives were to evaluate the sociodemographic and disease-related factors, and coping style associated with social interaction and social appearance anxiety in people with unilateral facial palsy. Methods: Medical data were extracted from electronic health records, and participants completed the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), and Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced inventory. Associations of SIAS and SAAS scores with sociodemographic and disease variables, and coping were assessed with multiple linear regression. Results: Among 111 participants (mean age 58.6 years; 59% women), higher age and greater use of emotion-focused coping were associated with lower SIAS scores, whereas greater use of avoidant coping was associated with higher SIAS scores. Higher age, male sex, and greater use of emotion-focused coping were associated with lower SAAS scores, whereas greater use of avoidant coping was associated with higher SAAS scores. Conclusions: Healthcare providers should understand that women and younger people are more likely to have social appearance concerns and that this is not predicted by the objective severity of facial palsy.

- Abstract
01 april 2023, Item does not contain fulltext, OBJECTIVE: High psychological distress is reported by one third of colorectal cancer survivors (CRCS). However, intervention studies for CRCS have reported low participation rates. In this study, reasons for non-participation and low uptake in a psychological intervention trial were investigated. METHODS: CRCS were recruited for a randomized clinical trial on the efficacy of blended cognitive behavior therapy for psychological distress via databases, follow-up consultations, advertisements and an ongoing population-based study. The recruitment flow and reasons for non-participation were analyzed for patients recruited between 2016 and 2020. Subgroups were compared based on demographic, clinical and screening data. High distress as study entry criterion was measured with the Distress Thermometer (DT ≥ 5) and the problem list (PL). RESULTS: From all recruitment methods together, 1326 CRCS responded to the invitation letter of whom 510 (38%) were interested in receiving a screening questionnaire. Interested CRCS were significantly younger than non-interested CRCS (p < 0.001). Most non-interested CRCS reported having no complaints. Of interested CRCS, 448 (88%) completed screening with the DT of which 213 (48%) CRCS scored above the DT cutoff for high distress. The majority expressed no need for help resulting in 84 (4% of eligible) CRCS included in the trial. Younger age, shorter time since diagnosis and more problems on the PL were positively related to participation. CONCLUSIONS: In this study a low participation rate was found. However, patients with high distress and most in need for help were included in the trial. For future research it is recommended to perform pilot- and feasibility studies to optimize recruitment.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 296336.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most frequently diagnosed cancers. Approximately 20-30% of stage I-III CRC patients develop a recurrent tumour or metastases after curative surgical resection. Post-operative follow-up is indicated for the first five years after curative surgical resection. As intensified follow-up after curative surgical resection has shown no effect on survival, patient organisations and policy makers have advocated for a more patient-centred approach to follow-up. The objective of this study is to successfully implement patient-led, home-based follow-up (PHFU) in six hospitals in The Netherlands, with as ultimate aim to come to a recommendation for a patient-centred follow-up schedule for stage I-III CRC patients treated with surgical resection with curative intent. METHODS: This study is designed as a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial (SW-CRT) in six participating centres. During the trial, three centres will implement PHFU after six months; the other three centres will implement PHFU after 12 months of inclusion in the control group. Eligible patients are those with pT2-4N0M0 or pT1-4N1-2M0 CRC, who are 18 years or older and have been free of disease for 12 months after curative surgical resection. The studied intervention is PHFU, starting 12 months after curative resection. The in-hospital, standard-of-care follow-up currently implemented in the participating centres functions as the comparator. The proportion of patients who had contact with the hospital regarding CRC follow-up between 12-24 months after curative surgical resection is the primary endpoint of this study. Quality of life, fear of cancer recurrence, patient satisfaction, cost-effectiveness and survival are the secondary endpoints. DISCUSSION: The results of this study will provide evidence on whether nationwide implementation of PHFU for CRC in The Netherlands will be successful in reducing contact between patient and health care provider.

- Abstract
01 juli 2023, Contains fulltext : 296078.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), AIM: Colorectal anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious complication. Studies on the impact of AL on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are scarce. We aimed to investigate the association between AL and HRQoL in colorectal cancer patients up to 2 years after diagnosis, and to evaluate whether AL is associated with a clinically relevant decrease in HRQoL over time. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with Stage I-III colorectal cancer undergoing elective surgical resection with primary anastomosis between 2010 and 2017 were included. HRQoL was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30, represented by the summary score, and analysed at diagnosis and at 6 months and 2 years post-diagnosis. Multivariable linear regression was performed to assess the association between AL and HRQoL, while multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the association between AL and a clinically relevant HRQoL decrease (≥10 points) during follow-up compared to the time of diagnosis. RESULTS: In total, 1197 patients were included of whom 63 (5%) developed AL. AL was not associated with HRQoL at 6 months post-diagnosis nor at 2 years post-diagnosis. However, having AL was associated with an increased risk of a clinically relevant decrease in HRQoL at 6 months post-diagnosis (OR 3.65, 95% CI 1.62-8.21) but not at 2 years after diagnosis (OR 1.91, 95% CI 0.62-5.93). CONCLUSION: Although AL was not associated with HRQoL at 6 months or 2 years post-diagnosis, AL was a determinant of a clinically relevant decrease in HRQoL at 6 months after diagnosis. Future work should identify feasible and effective strategies to prevent declines in QoL in this patient population.

01 juli 2023, Contains fulltext : 294350.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), PURPOSE: To assess the psychosocial outcomes of facial weakness in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional survey study. The severity of facial weakness was assessed by patients (self-reported degree of facial weakness) and by physicians (part I FSHD clinical score). Questionnaires on facial function, psychosocial well-being, functioning, pain, and fatigue were completed. Regression analyses were performed to explain variance in psychosocial outcomes by demographic and disease variables. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-eight patients participated. They reported mild to moderate psychological distress, no to mild fear of negative evaluation, and moderate to good social functioning. However, patients with severe self-reported facial weakness scored lower in social functioning. Patients with more facial dysfunction experienced more fear of negative evaluation and lower social functioning. Furthermore, younger age, presence of pain, fatigue, walking difficulty, and current or previous psychological support were associated with lower psychosocial outcomes. Overall, patients report moderate to good psychosocial functioning in this study. The factors contributing to lower psychosocial functioning are diverse. CONCLUSIONS: A multidisciplinary, personalized approach, focusing on coping with physical, emotional, and social consequences of FSHD is supposed to be helpful. Further research is needed to assess the psychosocial outcomes of facial weakness in younger patients.Implications for rehabilitationResearch on the psychosocial consequences of facial weakness in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is limited.Patients with FSHD experience mild to moderate psychosocial distress, partly due to overall disease severity, such as reduced mobility, and partly due to facial weakness and reduced facial function.Self-reported degree of facial weakness and facial dysfunction were related to lower psychosocial outcomes (social fu

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, Background: Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) may experience symptoms of adjustment disorder (AD) after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Time-limited symptoms of AD may become persistent if the stressor or its consequences have not disappeared after 6 months, but evidence on the course of AD symptoms is scarce. This longitudinal observational study investigates the proportion of patients with CRC with time-limited and persistent AD symptoms within the first year after diagnosis, in relation to demographic, clinical, and psychological factors and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: Informed consent was retrieved from 232 participants, and 194 participants completed questionnaires at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months postdiagnosis. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale total scores (HADS-T) were categorized as indication for no symptoms of a mental disorder (MD) (HADS-T <=10), AD symptoms (HADS-T 11-14), and other MD symptoms (HADS-T >=15). Symptom subgroups over time were a priori defined: no MD, time-limited AD, persistent AD, other MD, and fluctuating symptoms. Results: Complete data were available for 81 participants (41.4%). Over time, 38.3% had no MD symptoms, 8.6% had time-limited AD symptoms, 1.2% had persistent AD symptoms, 4.9% had other MD symptoms, and 46.9% had fluctuating symptoms. Participants with AD and fluctuating symptoms reported higher fear of cancer recurrence, lower HRQoL, and higher cancer-specific distress than participants without MD symptoms (P < .5). Conclusions: During the first year after CRC diagnosis, only a small proportion of the patients showed time-limited and persistent AD symptoms and most showed fluctuating symptoms. More prospective research is needed to determine how repeated assessments for elevated AD symptoms relate to an AD diagnosis established with a diagnostic interview., 7 p.

Contains fulltext : 248909.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) People with a medical condition that leads to visible disfigurement often face significant psychosocial challenges related to their disfigurement, such as psychological distress, negative self-esteem and feelings of shame. In addition, they often encounter social difficulties including stigmatization, dealing with reactions of others and limitations in personal relationships. The availability of evidence-based psychological support tailored to these specific patients’ needs is limited. The aim of this study is to describe the development and content of Inside Out, a 5-session, theory-based psychological group intervention for people with a visible disfigurement due to a medical condition. This group intervention is based on a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Competitive Memory Training. One case, a woman with facial palsy and psychological distress due to appearance-related problems, is presented to illustrate the intervention. This detailed description provides an in-depth illustration of the course and content of this treatment. Qualitative results show that this treatment is feasible and highly valued by the patient. Scores on pre-, post- and 3-month follow-up assessments showed improvements in psychological distress and level of acceptance of the condition. This case study shows how a psychological group intervention might contribute to the improvement of psychological wellbeing in individuals with a visible disfigurement. 09 april 2022 12 p.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 244755.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), Objective: Breast cancer survivors (BCS) may experience problems to adjust to their situation after cancer treatment completion. In case of severe distress, an adjustment disorder (AD) might develop. This study investigates the course of AD symptoms during 1 year and its predictors in BCS up to 5 years post-treatment. Methods: BCS completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. HADS total scores were defined as no mental disorder (MD) symptoms (<= 10), AD symptoms (11-14), and any other MD symptoms (≥ 15). Over the course of four assessments, symptom trajectories were a priori defined as no MD symptoms, AD symptoms, fluctuating AD symptoms below and above cut-offs, or any other MD symptoms. Complementary, latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to identify data-driven trajectories. Results: Among 293 BCS with complete data, the majority was classified as no MD symptoms (54.4%), followed by 37.5% in the fluctuating AD symptoms trajectory. Only 1.4% had AD symptoms, and 6.8% had any other MD symptoms. With LCGA (N = 459), three trajectories were found: stable no MD symptoms (58.6%), stable AD symptoms (32.9%), and high increasing any other MD symptoms (8.5%). Compared to BCS with no MD symptoms, BCS with fluctuating AD symptoms or any other MD symptoms were younger, less able to handle daily activities, and showed more social support discrepancy, neuroticism, and less optimism. Conclusions: Results of our study showed that AD symptoms in BCS up to 5 years post-treatment fluctuate over 1 year. It is thus important to appropriately assess AD over the course of 5 years post-treatment as AD symptoms can fluctuate.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, Background: This study assessed the course of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in patients newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer (HNC), identified FCR trajectories and factors associated with FCR trajectories. Methods: Six hundred and seventeen HNC patients from the NET-QUBIC cohort study completed the Cancer Worry Scale-6 at diagnosis, 3 and 6 months post-treatment. FCR trajectories were identified using Latent Class Growth Analysis. Associations were explored between FCR trajectories and baseline demographic and medical variables, coping and self-efficacy. Results: Overall, FCR decreased slightly between baseline and 3 months post-treatment and remained stable up to 6 months. Two FCR trajectories were identified: "high stable" (n = 125) and "low declining" (n = 492). Patients with high stable FCR were younger, reported more negative adjustment, passive coping, and reassuring thoughts, and less avoidance. Conclusions: The majority of HNC patients have low declining FCR after diagnosis, but one in five patients experience persistent high FCR up to 6 months post-treatment.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, OBJECTIVE: High cancer risks, as applicable to BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant (PV) carriers, can induce significant cancer concerns. We examined the degree of cancer worry and the course of this worry among BRCA1/2-PV carriers undergoing surgery to prevent ovarian cancer, and identified factors associated with high cancer worry. METHODS: Cancer worry was evaluated as part of the multicentre, prospective TUBA-study (NCT02321228) in which BRCA1/2-PV carriers choose either novel risk-reducing salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy or standard risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. The Cancer Worry Scale was obtained before and 3 and 12 months after surgery. Cancer worry patterns were analysed using latent class growth analysis and associated factors were identified with regression analysis. RESULTS: Of all 577 BRCA1/2-PV carriers, 320 (57%) had high (≥ 14) cancer worry pre-surgery, and 54% had lower worry 12 months post-surgery than pre-surgery. Based on patterns over time, BRCA1/2-PV carriers could be classified into three groups: persistently low cancer worry (56%), persistently high cancer worry (6%), and fluctuating, mostly declining, cancer worry (37%). Factors associated with persistently high cancer concerns were age below 35 (BRCA1) or 40 (BRCA2), unemployment, previous breast cancer, lower education and a more recent BRCA1/2-PV diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Some degree of cancer worry is considered normal, and most BRCA1/2-PV carriers have declining cancer worry after gynaecological risk-reducing surgery. However, a subset of these BRCA1/2-PV carriers has persisting major cancer concerns up to 1 year after surgery. They should be identified and potentially offered additional support. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The TUBA-study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov since December 11th, 2014. Registration number: NCT02321228.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence of adjustment disorder (AD) among cancer patients and the acceptance of psychological treatment, in relation to sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological factors. METHODS: Breast, prostate, and head and neck cancer patients of all stages and treatment modalities (N = 200) participated in this observational study. Patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Checklist Individual Strength, Distress Thermometer and problem list. Patients with increased risk on AD based on these questionnaires were scheduled for a diagnostic interview. Patients diagnosed with AD were invited to participate in a randomized controlled trial on the cost-effectiveness of psychological treatment. Participation in this trial was used as a proxy of acceptance of psychological treatment. Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate associated factors. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of AD was estimated at 13.1%. Sensitivity analyses showed prevalence rates of AD of 11.5%, 15.0%, and 23.5%. Acceptance of psychological treatment was estimated at 65%. AD was associated both with being employed (OR = 3.3, CI = 1.3-8.4) and having a shorter time since diagnosis (OR = 0.3, CI = 0.1-0.8). CONCLUSION: Taking sensitivity analysis into account, the prevalence of AD among cancer patients is estimated at 13 to 15%, and is related to being employed and having a shorter time since diagnosis. The majority of cancer patients with AD accept psychological treatment.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, Severe fatigue is a common complaint in patients with primary mitochondrial disease. However, less is known about the course of fatigue over time. This longitudinal observational cohort study of patients with the mitochondrial DNA 3243 A>G variant explored trajectories of fatigue over 2 years, and characteristics of patients within these fatigue trajectories. Fifty-three adult patients treated at the Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen were included. The majority of the patients reported consistent, severe fatigue (41%), followed by patients with a mixed pattern of severe and mild fatigue (36%). Then, 23% of patients reported stable mild fatigue levels. Patients with a stable high fatigue trajectory were characterized by higher disease manifestations scores, more clinically relevant mental health symptoms, and lower psychosocial functioning and quality of life compared to patients reporting stable low fatigue levels. Fatigue at baseline and disease manifestation scores predicted fatigue severity at the 2-year assessment (57% explained variance). This study demonstrates that severe fatigue is a common and stable complaint in the majority of patients. Clinicians should be aware of severe fatigue in patients with moderate to severe disease manifestation scores on the Newcastle Mitochondrial Disease Scale, the high prevalence of clinically relevant mental health symptoms and overall impact on quality of life in these patients. Screening of fatigue and psychosocial variables will guide suitable individualized treatment to improve the quality of life.

- Abstract
04 november 2022, Contains fulltext : 284118.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), Purpose: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) interventions are effective, but few are implemented. This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators for implementing the evidence-based blended SWORD intervention in routine psycho-oncological care. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 19 cancer survivors and 18 professionals from three healthcare settings assessed barriers and facilitators in six domains as described by the determinant frameworks of Grol and Flottorp: (1) innovation, (2) professionals, (3) patients, (4) social context, (5) organization, and (6) economic and political context. Results: In the innovation domain, there were few barriers. Facilitators included high reliability, accessibility, and relevance of SWORD. In the professional domain, physicians and nurses barriers were lack of self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills to address FCR whereas psychologists had sufficient knowledge and skills, but some were critical towards protocolized treatments, cognitive behavioral therapy, or eHealth. Patient domain barriers included lack of FCR awareness, negative expectations of psychotherapy, and unwillingness/inability to actively engage in treatment. A social context domain barrier was poor communication between different healthcare professionals. Organization domain barriers included inadequate referral structures to psychological services, limited capacity, and complex legal procedures. Economic and political context domain barriers included lack of a national implementation structure for evidence-based psycho-oncological interventions and eHealth platform costs. Conclusions: Implementation strategies should be targeted at patient, professional, organizational and economic and political domains. Identified barriers and facilitators are relevant to other researchers in psycho-oncology that aim to bridge the research-practice gap. Implications for cancer survivors: This study contributes to the implementation of evidence-based psychological interventions

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 253507.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), Simple Summary: An emerging group of advanced cancer patients are living long term on systemic treatment. However, studies examining the psychosocial impact of this prolonged cancer treatment trajectory are scarce. This scoping review summarizes findings on these psychosocial issues, as well as the terminology used to refer to these patients. Prominent psychosocial outcomes included uncertainty, anxiety, and fear of disease progression or death, hope, loss and worries about loved ones and changes in social life. These themes were not extensively investigated in research using validated psychological questionnaires. More quantitative research in this area should be conducted to further understand these psychological constructs. A large variety of terms used to refer to the patient group was observed, which calls for a uniform definition to better address this specific patient group in research and in practice. By identifying key themes and gaps in the literature, directions for future research and clinical practice can be provided. Abstract: (1) Background: Studies examining the psychosocial impact of living long term on systemic treatment in advanced cancer patients are scarce. This scoping review aimed to answer the research question "What has been reported about psychosocial factors among patients living with advanced cancer receiving life-long systemic treatment?", by synthesizing psychosocial data, and evaluating the terminology used to address these patients; (2) Methods: This scoping review was conducted following the five stages of the framework of Arksey and O'Malley (2005); (3) Results: 141 articles published between 2000 and 2021 (69% after 2015) were included. A large variety of terms referring to the patient group was observed. Synthesizing qualitative studies identified ongoing uncertainty, anxiety and fear of disease progression or death, hope in treatment results and new treatment options, loss in several aspects of life, and worries about the impact

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 246727.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), Background: This study assessed the course of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in patients newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer (HNC), identified FCR trajectories and factors associated with FCR trajectories. Methods: Six hundred and seventeen HNC patients from the NET-QUBIC cohort study completed the Cancer Worry Scale-6 at diagnosis, 3 and 6 months post-treatment. FCR trajectories were identified using Latent Class Growth Analysis. Associations were explored between FCR trajectories and baseline demographic and medical variables, coping and self-efficacy. Results: Overall, FCR decreased slightly between baseline and 3 months post-treatment and remained stable up to 6 months. Two FCR trajectories were identified: "high stable" (n = 125) and "low declining" (n = 492). Patients with high stable FCR were younger, reported more negative adjustment, passive coping, and reassuring thoughts, and less avoidance. Conclusions: The majority of HNC patients have low declining FCR after diagnosis, but one in five patients experience persistent high FCR up to 6 months post-treatment.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, OBJECTIVE: Care for fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is considered the most common unmet need among cancer survivors. Yet the prevalence of FCR and predisposing factors remain inconclusive. To support targeted care, we provide a comprehensive overview of the prevalence and severity of FCR among cancer survivors and patients, as measured using the short form of the validated Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (FCRI-SF). We also report on associations between FCR and clinical and demographic characteristics. METHODS: This is a systematic review and individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis on the prevalence of FCR. In the review, we included all studies that used the FCRI-SF with adult (≥18 years) cancer survivors and patients. Date of search: 7 February 2020. Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool. RESULTS: IPD were requested from 87 unique studies and provided for 46 studies comprising 11,226 participants from 13 countries. 9311 respondents were included for the main analyses. On the FCRI-SF (range 0-36), 58.8% of respondents scored ≥13, 45.1% scored ≥16 and 19.2% scored ≥22. FCR decreased with age and women reported more FCR than men. FCR was found across cancer types and continents and for all time periods since cancer diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: FCR affects a considerable number of cancer survivors and patients. It is therefore important that healthcare providers discuss this issue with their patients and provide treatment when needed. Further research is needed to investigate how best to prevent and treat FCR and to identify other factors associated with FCR. The protocol was prospectively registered (PROSPERO CRD42020142185).

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a common concern among cancer survivors and support for FCR is one of the most cited unmet needs. High FCR was found to be related to increased use of healthcare services, specifically primary healthcare and medical consultations, and lower quality of life. In the past decade screening instruments for FCR and interventions have been developed and proven effective. RECENT FINDINGS: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown that psychological treatments are effective for reducing FCR. The cost-effectiveness of FCR interventions could be increased by considering stepped or matched models for supportive care. Despite availability of evidence-based interventions, the proposed care models are not implemented and most cancer survivors still do not benefit from supportive care. SUMMARY: The time is right to focus on implementation of FCR interventions into clinical practice. The complexity of optimizing FCR care is characterized by barriers and facilitators in the domains of patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations and the broader economic, and political context. The main challenge for future research is to address these issues so that former investments in high-quality FCR intervention research will pay out in actual practice changes in the benefit of cancer survivors.

- Abstract
17 november 2022, Contains fulltext : 284445.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), Objectives: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is common and burdensome to patients, but often remains undetected. Oncology professionals report need for tools to improve FCR detection in routine care. Oncology care guidelines recommend the Distress Thermometer (DT) for distress screening, but it has not been validated for FCR. This study evaluated the capacity of the DT and accompanying problem list to detect FCR. Methods: Amalgamated data of two studies with 149 breast cancer and 74 colorectal cancer survivors were used. We evaluated the Dutch DT [1] including the DT score, problem list fears item and emotional domain score using Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses. The Dutch Cancer Worry Scale-6 (CWS-6) was used as reference measure, with validated cut-off scores ≥10 and ≥12 for high FCR. Sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values were calculated. Results: The DT score showed poor performance in discriminating between low and high FCR. The recommended cut-off ≥4 had low sensitivity (65% for CWS-6≥10; 72% for CWS-6 ≥12) and specificity (67% and 58%). No other cut-off had an acceptable combination of sensitivity and specificity. The fears item had low sensitivity (29% and 44.9%) and high specificity (95% and 94%). The emotional domain score had fair performance in discriminating between low and high FCR but there was no cut-off with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: The DT as currently recommended in oncology care guidelines is not suitable to effectively detect FCR in routine care. To improve patients access to psychosocial care, it should be investigated how FCR-specific measures can be integrated in oncology practice.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 230490.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), Mitochondrial diseases (MDs) are rare, heterogeneous, hereditary and progressive in nature. In addition to the serious somatic symptoms, patients with MD also experience problems regarding their cognitive functioning and mental health. We provide an overview of all published studies reporting on any aspect of cognitive functioning and/or mental health in patients with MD and their relatives. A total of 58 research articles and 45 case studies were included and critically reviewed. Cognitive impairments in multiple domains were reported. Mental disorders were frequently reported, especially depression and anxiety. Furthermore, most studies showed impairments in self-reported psychological functioning and high prevalence of mental health problems in (matrilineal) relatives. The included studies showed heterogeneity regarding patient samples, measurement instruments and reference groups, making comparisons cautious. Results highlight a high prevalence of cognitive impairments and mental disorders in patients with MD. Recommendations for further research as well as tailored patientcare with standardized follow-up are provided. Key gaps in the literature are identified, of which studies on natural history are of highest importance.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, BACKGROUND: Bowel dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery is common, with some experiencing low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is common after rectal cancer surgery. This study examined if transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has a similar risk of LARS and altered quality of life (QoL) as patients who undergo low anterior resection (LAR). METHODS: Patients who underwent TaTME or traditionally approached total mesorectal excision in a prospective colorectal cancer cohort study (2014-2019) were propensity score matched in a 1 : 1 ratio. LARS and QoL scores were assessed before and after surgery with a primary endpoint of major LARS at 12 months analysed for possible association between factors by logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 61 TaTME and 317 LAR patients eligible, 55 from each group were propensity score matched. Higher LARS scores (30.6 versus 25.4, P = 0.010) and more major LARS (65 versus 42 per cent, P = 0.013; OR 2.64, 95 per cent c.i. 1.22 to 5.71) were reported after TaTME. Additionally, QoL score differences (body image, bowel frequency, and embarrassment) were worse in the TaTME group. CONCLUSIONS: TaTME may be associated with more severe bowel dysfunction than traditional approaches to rectal cancer.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 231556.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial disease is a rare, hereditary disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation. However, fatigue is a common and burdensome complaint in children and adolescents with mitochondrial disease. No psychological intervention targeting fatigue exists for paediatric patients with a mitochondrial disease. We designed the PowerMe intervention, a blended cognitive behaviour therapy targeting fatigue in children and adolescents with mitochondrial disease. The aim of the intervention is to reduce perceived fatigue by targeting fatigue-related cognitions and behaviours. METHODS: A multiple baseline single case experiment will be conducted in five children (8-12 years old) and 5 adolescents (12-18 years old) with mitochondrial disease and severe fatigue. Patients will be included in the study for 33 weeks, answering weekly questions about the fatigue. Patients will be randomly assigned a baseline period of 5 to 9 weeks before starting the PowerMe intervention. The intervention consists of face-to-face and online sessions with a therapist and a website with information and assignments. The treatment will be tailored to the individual. Each patient will work on their personalized treatment plan focusing on personally relevant goals. The primary outcome is perceived fatigue. Secondary outcomes are quality of life, school presence and physical functioning. DISCUSSION: The results of the PowerMe study will provide information on the efficacy of a blended cognitive behaviour therapy on reducing perceived fatigue and its impact on daily life in children and adolescents with mitochondrial disease. Strengths and limitations of the study design are discussed. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Dutch Trial Register NTR 7675. Registered on 17 December 2018. Identifier https://www.trialregister.nl/trial/7433.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, OBJECTIVE: To examine healthcare utilisation and adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) follow-up guidelines. METHODS: A total of 2450 out of 3025 stage I-III CRC survivors diagnosed between 2000 and 2009 completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, SF-12, EORTC QLQ-CR38 and Fatigue Assessment Score questionnaires, in December 2010. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify predictors for increased follow-up care (>1 visit than recommended by guidelines). RESULTS: In the first follow-up year, the average number of cancer-related visits to the general practitioner and medical specialist was 1.7 and 4.2, respectively. More than 80% of the CRC survivors was comfortable with their follow-up schedule, and 49-72% of them received follow-up according to the guidelines. Around 29-47% was followed more than recommended. Simultaneously, around 4-14% of the CRC survivors received less follow-up care than recommended. Survivors of stage III disease treated with chemotherapy received the most follow-up care. In addition, lower socio-economic status stoma and fatigue were associated with increased follow-up care. CONCLUSION: CRC survivors were predominantly followed according to national guidelines. Increased follow-up care is driven by advanced disease stage, chemotherapy, SES, stoma and fatigue. Future studies should investigate how increased follow-up care use can be reduced, while still addressing patients' needs.

Item does not contain fulltext, INTRODUCTION: Targeted alpha-radiation therapy (TAT) with (225)Ac-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands is a promising novel treatment option for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. However, limited data are available on efficacy, quality of life (QoL), and pretherapeutic biomarkers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of (225)Ac-PSMA TAT and impact on QoL in advanced mCRPC, and to explore predictive biomarkers on pretherapeutic metastatic tissue biopsies. METHODS: Observational cohort study including consecutive patients treated with (225)Ac-PSMA TAT between February 2016 and July 2018. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Furthermore, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) changes, radiological response, safety, QoL, and xerostomia were evaluated. Biopsies were analyzed with immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing. RESULTS: Thirteen patients were included. Median OS was 8.5 months for the total cohort and 12.6 months for PSMA radioligand therapy-naïve patients. PSA declines of ≥90% and ≥50% were observed in 46% and 69% of patients, respectively. Six patients were radiologically evaluable; 50% showed partial response. All patients showed >90% total tumor volume reduction on PET imaging. Patients experienced clinically relevant decrease of pain and QoL improvement in physical and role functioning domains. Xerostomia persisted during follow-up. Patients with high baseline immunohistochemical PSMA expression or DNA damage repair alterations tended to have longer OS. CONCLUSIONS: TAT with (225)Ac-PSMA resulted in remarkable survival and biochemical responses in advanced mCRPC patients. Patients experienced clinically relevant QoL improvement, although xerostomia was found to be nontransient. Baseline immunohistochemical PSMA expression and DNA damage repair status are potential predictive biomarkers of response to (225)Ac-PSMA TAT.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 238097.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), INTRODUCTION: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and exertional rhabdomyolysis (ERM) have long been considered episodic phenotypes occurring in response to external triggers in otherwise healthy individuals with variants in RYR1. However, recent studies have demonstrated a clinical and histopathological continuum between patients with RYR1-related congenital myopathies and those with ERM or MH susceptibility. Furthermore, animal studies have shown non-neuromuscular features such as a mild bleeding disorder and an immunological gain-of-function associated with MH/ERM related RYR1 variants raising important questions for further research. Awareness of the neuromuscular disease spectrum and potential multisystem involvement in RYR1-related MH and ERM is essential to optimize the diagnostic work-up, improve counselling and and future treatment strategies for patients affected by these conditions. This study will examine in detail the nature and severity of continuous disease manifestations and their effect on daily life in patients with RYR1-related MH and ERM. METHODS: The study protocol consists of four parts; an online questionnaire study, a clinical observational study, muscle imaging, and specific immunological studies. Patients with RYR1-related MH susceptibility and ERM will be included. The imaging, immunological and clinical studies will have a cross-sectional design, while the questionnaire study will be performed three times during a year to assess disease impact, daily living activities, fatigue and pain. The imaging study consists of muscle ultrasound and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging studies. For the immunological studies, peripheral mononuclear blood cells will be isolated for in vitro stimulation with toll-like receptor ligands, to examine the role of the immune system in the pathophysiology of RYR1-related MH and ERM. DISCUSSION: This study will increase knowledge of the full spectrum of neuromuscular and multisystem features of RYR1-related MH and ERM

- Abstract
Introduction A better understanding of the molecular, genetic and immunological characteristics of cancer and the introduction of new systemic treatment regimens in the last decades, has led to better treatment outcomes and increased survival rates for patients with previously short lived cancers. However, there is no uniform description to refer to this growing group of patients with advanced cancer who now respond to new systemic treatments for longer periods. Furthermore, little is known about the unique psychological challenges these patients face, living with ongoing uncertainty about the course of their disease and life expectancy. The objective of this scoping review is to identify the psychological aspects experienced by, and the definitions used to refer to patients with advanced cancer receiving lifelong systemic treatment. Methods and analysis This review will be among the first to summarise literature on the psychological issues in the growing group of advanced cancer patients undergoing long-Term systemic treatment. Articles will be retrieved from six databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) and reviewed for eligibility by two investigators independently. Definitions and psychological challenges will be extracted and narratively summarised following a descriptive approach. Furthermore, results will contribute in providing a uniform definition for this patient group, and help to identify knowledge gaps to give direction to further research in this field. Ethics and dissemination No ethical approval is required. The results of the scoping review will be submitted for publication to a scientific journal and presented at relevant conferences.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, OBJECTIVE: This study systematically reviewed the association of psychological problems among cancer patients with healthcare and societal resource use and costs. METHODS: PubMed, PsycINFO, and Embase were searched (until 31 January 2021) for studies on psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression, distress, fear of recurrence) or psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, adjustment) and healthcare use (e.g., mental, inpatient healthcare), economic losses by patients and family, economic losses in other sectors (e.g., absence from work), and costs. The search, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed by two authors. RESULTS: Of the 4157 identified records, 49 articles were included (psychological symptoms (n = 34), psychiatric disorders (n = 14), both (n = 1)) which focused on healthcare use (n = 36), economic losses by patients and family (n = 5), economic losses in other sectors (n = 8) and/or costs (n = 13). In total, for 12 of the 94 associations strong evidence was found. Psychological symptoms and psychiatric disorders were positively associated with increased healthcare use (mental, primary, inpatient, outpatient healthcare), losses in other sectors (absence from work), and costs (inpatient, outpatient, total healthcare costs). Moderate evidence was found for a positive association between (any) psychiatric disorder and depression disorder with inpatient healthcare and medication use, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological problems in cancer patients are associated with increased healthcare use, healthcare costs and economic losses. Further research is needed on psychological problems in relation to understudied healthcare use or costs categories, productivity losses, and informal care costs.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 218702.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial diseases (MD) are generally serious and progressive, inherited metabolic diseases. There is a high comorbidity of anxiety and depression and limitations in daily functioning. The complexity and duration of the diagnostic process and lack of knowledge about prognosis leads to uncertainty. In this study, we investigated the psychological well-being of children who are suspected for MD and their parents. METHODS: In total 122 children suspected for MD and their parents, received questionnaires as part of standard clinical investigation. RESULTS: Parent proxy report revealed a lower quality of life (QoL) compared to norms and even more physical problems compared to chronically ill patients. They also reported more behavioral problems in general and more internalizing problems compared to the norms. Most frequent reported somatic complaints were tiredness and pain. Parents did not report enhanced levels of stress regarding parenting and experienced sufficient social support. At the end of the diagnostic process, 5.7% of the children received the genetically confirmed diagnosis of MD, 26% showed non-conclusive abnormalities in the muscle biopsy, 54% did not receive any diagnosis, and the remaining received other diagnoses. Strikingly, children without a diagnosis showed equally QoL and behavioral problems as children with a diagnosis, and even more internalizing problems. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the psychological concerns of children with a suspicion of MD. It is important to realize that as well as children with a confirmed diagnosis, children without a diagnosis are vulnerable since explanation for their complaints is still lacking.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 226497.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), Purpose: Previous studies suggest one-third of breast cancer survivors (BCS) experience elevated fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and that it remains stable. Most studies include long assessment intervals and aggregated group data. This study aimed to describe the individual trajectories of FCR when assessed monthly using both a statistical and descriptive approach. Methods: Participants were curatively-treated BCS 0-5 years post-surgery. Questionnaire data were collected monthly for 12 months. Primary outcome was FCR [Cancer Worry Scale (CWS)]. For the descriptive approach, 218 participants were classified as low (CWS <= 13 at each assessment), high (CWS >= 14 at each assessment), or fluctuating FCR (CWS scores above and below cut-off). Latent class growth analysis (LCGA; n = 377) was conducted to identify trajectories over time. Results: Around 58% of the women reported fluctuating CWS scores, 22% reported a consistently high and 21% consistently low course. Results of the LCGA confirmed the three-class approach including a stable high FCR group (13%), a low FCR group (40%), and a moderate FCR group (47%). Both the moderate and low scoring groups reported declining scores over time. Younger patients, higher educated patients, and those less satisfied with the medical treatment were more likely to belong to the moderate or high trajectory. Conclusion: Assessed monthly, the majority of BCS report fluctuating levels of FCR. Stepped-care models should assess FCR on multiple occasions before offering tailored interventions.

- Abstract
Contains fulltext : 215506.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), BACKGROUND: Information on the prevalence of adjustment disorders among cancer patients and the value of psychological interventions in this group of patients is limited. This study investigates the prevalence of adjustment disorders among cancer patients as well as the reach, effectiveness, cost-utility and budget impact of a tailored psychological intervention. METHOD: This study consists of two parts. Part 1 is an observational study among a representative group of mixed cancer patients after cancer treatment on the prevalence of adjustment disorder as well as the uptake (i.e. reach) of psychological treatment. In Part 2, patients diagnosed with an adjustment disorder are invited to participate in a randomized controlled trial. Patients will be randomized to the intervention (access to the tailored psychological intervention) or control group (waitlist period of 6 months). The psychological intervention consists of three modules: one module containing psycho-education (3 sessions, all patients) and two additional modules (maximum of 6 sessions per module) provided as continuum, in case needed. Module 2 and 3 can consist of several evidence-based interventions (e.g. group interventions, mindfulness, eHealth) The primary outcome is psychological distress (HADS). Secondary outcomes are mental adjustment to cancer (MAC) and health-related quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30). To assess the cost-utility and budget impact, quality of life (EQ-5D-5 L) and costs (iMCQ and iPCQ) will be measured. Measures will be completed at baseline and 3 and 6-months after randomization. DISCUSSION: This study will provide data of the prevalence of adjustment disorders and the reach, effectiveness, cost-utility and budget impact of a tailored psychological intervention. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Netherlands Trial Register identifier: NL7763. Registered on 3 June 2019.
