商品描述

This book encompasses all areas for mesothelioma care, treatment, and research. Using nurses, social workers, surgeons, oncologist, radiologist and pain specialist to give the reader a comprehensive overview of mesothelioma treatment. Indeed, mesothelioma is a cancer that mainly affects the pleura and peritoneum, usually caused by exposure to asbestos. The number of individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma is increasing world-wide, particularly in developing countries where the use of asbestos remains uncontrolled. In spite of advances in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical approaches, mesothelioma remains resistant to treatment. According to the International Mesothelioma Interest group, overall survival has not improved; median survival times vary from one month to eighteen months. A small number of patients remain asymptomatic or with minimal symptoms for extended periods, and fewer live three years or more. Mesothelioma is often associated with difficult, intractable symptoms, particularly pain and difficulty breathing. Especially poor prognoses have been reported for those diagnosed with sarcomatoid rather than epithelioid histology, or with advanced disease, poor performance status, or pain and loss of appetite. Despite substantial progress of the last two decades improving the quality of life of patients with cancer, many mesothelioma patients still experience physical, psychological, social, and financial burdens. The development of multimodality treatment and mesothelioma centers has given renewed hope to patients. This book serves as a unique tool for medical professional while providing care for mesothelioma patients.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書涵蓋了與間皮瘤的護理、治療和研究相關的所有領域。透過護士、社會工作者、外科醫生、腫瘤科醫生、放射科醫生和疼痛專家的協助，為讀者提供了間皮瘤治療的全面概述。事實上，間皮瘤是一種主要影響胸膜和腹膜的癌症，通常是由於接觸石棉所引起。全球被診斷為間皮瘤的人數正在增加，特別是在石棉使用仍未受到控制的發展中國家。儘管化療、放療和外科手術方法有所進步，間皮瘤仍然對治療具有抗藥性。根據國際間皮瘤關注小組的資料，整體生存率並未改善；中位生存時間從一個月到十八個月不等。少數患者在長時間內保持無症狀或僅有輕微症狀，而能活三年或更長時間的患者更是稀少。間皮瘤通常伴隨著難以忍受的症狀，特別是疼痛和呼吸困難。對於那些被診斷為肉瘤型而非上皮型組織學，或是處於晚期疾病、表現狀態不佳、或有疼痛和食慾不振的患者，報告的預後尤其不佳。儘管在過去二十年中，改善癌症患者生活品質方面取得了顯著進展，許多間皮瘤患者仍然面臨身體、心理、社會和經濟上的負擔。多模式治療和間皮瘤中心的發展為患者帶來了新的希望。本書作為醫療專業人員在照護間皮瘤患者時的獨特工具。

作者簡介

Mary Hesdorffer received her undergraduate degree at the College of New Rochelle in New York and went on to receive her Masters of Science at the same institution. She is a Nurse Practitioner and spent nearly 20 years actively treating patients with mesothelioma. Ms. Hesdorffer has an expertise in the development and implementation of clinical trials. Her work has been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and she has lectured both nationally and internationally on the topics pertaining to mesothelioma with particular emphasis on clinical trials as well as symptom and disease management.

Ms. Hesdorffer has been a strong voice in urging increased transparency to the medical and legal issues surrounding mesothelioma with a strong emphasis on ethics. She is passionate in her commitment to the treatment and management of this disease and hopes to increase awareness of the need to advance the science that will lead to a cure. Mary is the Executive Director of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation.

Gleneara E. Bates-Pappas, LMSW, is currently a doctoral student at CUNY Graduate Center, an adjunct lecturer at Columbia University School of Social Work, Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, New York University Silver School of Social Work and a psychological counselor at CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies. She received her bachelors degree from the University of Arizona in political science and economics minoring in Africana studies and went on to receive her master, basic science and legal training from Columbia University.

Her doctoral research explores the environmental risk factors for lung cancer mortality among racially ethnic minorities living in New York. Her current research projects aim to elucidate the bio-physiological aspects of tumor resistance in response to chemotherapy and the use of telemedicine to improve quality-of-life and cognitive function in post-treatment cancer survivors. In addition to exploring ways to use virtual and augmented reality to reduce anxiety during treatment in pedantic oncology patients.

As a cancer researcher, she managed a translational research laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center where she conceptualized and conducted research on heat shock proteins and their role in tumor resistance in response to chemotherapy and the role of platinum agents in inducing checkpoint inhibitors related to tumor progression on the quality of life of patients and their primary caregivers during and post-treatment. In addition, she serves on the American Society of Clinical Oncology Cancer Survivorship Committee and The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Smoking Cessation Committee

**瑪麗·赫斯多佛（Mary Hesdorffer）**在紐約的新羅謝爾學院獲得了本科学位，並在同一機構獲得了科學碩士學位。她是一名護理執業者，並在近20年內積極治療間皮瘤患者。赫斯多佛女士在臨床試驗的開發和實施方面具有專業知識。她的工作已發表在同行評審的科學期刊上，並在國內外就間皮瘤相關主題進行講座，特別強調臨床試驗以及症狀和疾病管理。

赫斯多佛女士一直是呼籲提高間皮瘤相關醫療和法律問題透明度的強大聲音，並強調倫理的重要性。她對於治療和管理這種疾病充滿熱情，並希望提高對推進科學以尋求治療的必要性的認識。瑪麗是間皮瘤應用研究基金會的執行董事。

**格倫艾拉·E·貝茲-帕帕斯（Gleneara E. Bates-Pappas）**，LMSW，目前是CUNY研究生中心的博士生，並擔任哥倫比亞大學社會工作學院、亨特學院的西爾伯曼社會工作學院、紐約大學的銀色社會工作學院的兼任講師，以及CUNY勞工與城市研究學院的心理諮詢師。她在亞利桑那大學獲得政治學和經濟學的學士學位，並輔修非洲研究，隨後在哥倫比亞大學獲得碩士學位、基礎科學和法律訓練。

她的博士研究探討了居住在紐約的種族少數群體肺癌死亡的環境風險因素。她目前的研究項目旨在闡明腫瘤對化療的抵抗的生物生理學方面，以及使用遠程醫療改善治療後癌症倖存者的生活質量和認知功能。此外，她還探索了如何利用虛擬和增強現實來減少小兒腫瘤患者在治療期間的焦慮。

作為一名癌症研究者，她在哥倫比亞大學醫學中心管理一個轉化研究實驗室，並在那裡構思和進行有關熱休克蛋白及其在腫瘤對化療抵抗中的作用，以及鉑類藥物在誘導與腫瘤進展相關的檢查點抑制劑對患者及其主要照顧者在治療期間和治療後生活質量的影響的研究。此外，她還擔任美國臨床腫瘤學會癌症倖存者委員會和國際肺癌研究協會戒菸委員會的成員。
