Facilitators Articles

Low-income prostate cancer survivors, who typically have worse outcomes and greater all-cause mortality, often have poor health-promoting behaviors. Our objective was to assess perceived facilitators of and barriers to healthy behavior change by interviewing low-income men with prostate cancer who received no-cost treatment through a state-funded program.

Active surveillance (AS) is recognized as a reasonable treatment option for low-risk localized prostate cancer (LPC) but continues to be chosen by a minority of men. To date, limited data are available regarding reasons why men with low-risk LPC adopt AS.

To synthesise findings from published studies on barriers and facilitators to Black men accessing and utilising post-treatment psychosocial support after prostate cancer (CaP) treatment.

Searches of Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Central, CINAHL plus and Scopus were undertaken from inception to May 2021.

Studies have shown that prostate cancer (PCa) is increasing at a rate of 5.2% per annum in Uganda and as few as 5% of men have ever been screened for PCa in Uganda. The situation may be worse among male prisoners given their 'vulnerable status'.

Despite support for active surveillance (AS) as a first treatment choice for men with low-risk prostate cancer (PC), this strategy is largely underutilised.

To systematically review barriers and facilitators to selecting and adhering to AS for low-risk PC.

OBJECTIVE - The aim was to describe cancer patients' perceived barriers and facilitators of physical activity during adjuvant cancer treatment.

METHODS - Semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with patients with breast cancer (n=9) and colorectal cancer (n=1) and prostate cancer (n=8) undergoing adjuvant cancer treatment.

A treatment choice for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is preference sensitive for both patients and physicians. Multiple treatment options are available, with none being superior to any other.
