Direct Economic Burden of Post‐Cancer Treatment Pain Among Cancer Survivors in the United States: A Population‐Based Retrospective Longitudinal Study

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Post‐cancer treatment pain (PCTP) is prevalent among cancer survivors but remains understudied. It is critical to quantify PCTP prevalence over time and to estimate the resulting short and long‐term incremental healthcare expenditures (total, third‐party, and out‐of‐pocket) and out‐of‐pocket burden among cancer survivors.

Safety and efficacy of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation during neoadjuvant breast cancer therapy: Findings from the phase II, double‐blind, randomized controlled DHA‐WIN trial

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Omega‐3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has shown pleiotropic anti‐cancer effects both in vitro and in animal models. However, clinical evidence of DHA efficacy is limited. This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial tested the efficacy of supplementation with DHA 4.4 g/day during 18 weeks of breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy ...
