Abstract

Fatigue is common among cancer patients and adversely impacts quality of life. As such, it is important to measure fatigue accurately in a way that is not burdensome to patients. The 7-item Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cancer Fatigue Short Form scale was recently developed using item response theory (IRT). The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of this scale in two samples of cancer patients using classical test theory (CTT). Two samples were used: 121 men with prostate cancer and 136 patients scheduled to undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for hematologic cancer. All participants completed the PROMIS Cancer Fatigue Short Form as well as validated measures of fatigue, vitality, and depression. HCT patients also completed measures of anxiety, perceived stress, and a clinical interview designed to identify cases of cancer-related fatigue. PROMIS Cancer Fatigue Short Form items loaded on a single factor (CFI=0.948) and the scale demonstrated good internal consistency reliability in both samples (Cronbach's alphas>0.86). Correlations with psychosocial measures were significant (p values<.0001) and in the expected direction, offering evidence for convergent and concu...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Cancer Imaging

Imaging techniques, including CT and MR, have become essential to tumor detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Here is the latest research on cancer imaging.
