Factors Affecting

  Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women over the world. To reducing reoccurrence and mortality rates, adjuvant hormonal therapy (AHT) is used for a long period. The major barrier to the effectiveness of the treatment is adherence. Adherence to medicines among patients is challenging. Patient beliefs in medications can be positively or negatively correlated to adherence. Objectives: To investigate the extent of adherence and factors affecting adherence, as well as to investigate the association between beliefs and adherence in women with breast cancer taking AHT. Method: A cross-sectional study included 124 Iraqi women with breast cancer recruited from Middle Euphrates Cancer Center. Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS) and beliefs about medication questionnaires (BMQ) are used to assess adherence and beliefs respectively. Result: 25% of women were fully adherent (MMAS = 8). 83.06% of all women developed side effects from medications received. Side effects and unemployed women were significantly associated with non-adherence. Additionally, there is no significant association between beliefs in medications and adherence. conclusion The enormous percent of poor adherence caused by side effects suggests the need for interventions by educating patients about the importance of their treatment and how to overcome side effects.

Hormone Therapies

Abstract Objective The objective of the present study was to analyze the reasons that led to hormone therapies (HTs) regimen changes in women with breast cancer. Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study from a single-institution Brazilian cancer center with patient records diagnosed with breast cancer between January 2012 and January 2017. Results From 1,555 women who were in treatment with HT, 213 (13.7%) women had HT switched, either tamoxifen to anastrozole or vice-versa. Most women included in the present study who switched HT were > 50 years old, postmenopausal, Caucasian, and had at least one comorbidity. From the group with therapy change, ‘disease progression’ was reason of change in 124 (58.2%) cases, and in 65 (30.5%) patients, ‘presence of side effects’ was the reason. From those women who suffered with side effects, 24 (36.9%) had comorbidities. Conclusion The present study demonstrated a low rate of HT switch of tamoxifen to anastrozole. Among the reasons for changing therapy, the most common was disease progression, which includes cancer recurrence, metastasis or increased tumor. Side effects were second; furthermore, age and comorbidities are risk factors for side effects.

Abstract Background Socio- economic condition plays a role on taking decision for cancer treatment beside this out pocket expenditure is a headache for cancer patients. For that, pattern of financial assistance for breast cancer treatment and associated factors were explored. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out with 200 samples; those were selected randomly from the listed patients who attended in the day care centre of chemotherapy. Results Maximum respondents first visited to health care provider at II and III stage with first symptom as lump on breast or axilla, no patients came at stage I. Along with family and neighbor, social welfare also play a positive role to assist finance. Donation was the major means to collect money and two or three sources were needed at a time for collecting money. In chi square (χ 2) test, economic condition had a significant role on care seeking. Simultaneously by ANOVA it was found that mean difference was more at age 31–40 year of age. After 50 years, care seeking time was intersect, here Main effect of age was F (1, 192) = 1.92, p = 0.162; Main effect of economic condition was F (3, 192) = 0.27, p = 0.847; Inter effect was F (2, 192) = 1.77, p = 0.154. Conclusion After knowing cancer, she and her family member become puzzled to collect money. For that necessary measure should be taken to easy availability of expenditure cost. It is recommended to launch public health insurance as soon as possible.
