Unlocking the Potential of Value-Based Healthcare in Mesothelioma Cancer Care

Unlocking the Potential of Value-Based Healthcare in Mesothelioma Cancer Care

ByHolly Zink

In the world of healthcare, there’s something called Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC). It’s all about making healthcare better by focusing on the results it delivers. When it comes to diseases like cancer, doctors want to get the best results for patients. A group of European healthcare centers came together in the VOICE community to see if they could make this happen. Understanding Value-Based Healthcare Value-Based Healthcare is all about understanding what works best in healthcare. It looks at the outcomes (results) that patients get from treatments and connects them to the costs. This way, doctors can see which treatments are worth it. The goal is to get the best results for the money spent by patients. In the world of cancer,…

Maximizes Your Immune Cell Response with High-Intensity Exercise

ByHolly Zink

There is an increasing role of high-intensity exercise training in cancer care. Evidence suggests that exercise can reduce side effects of treatment. And it has the added benefits of improving physical functioning and quality of life. Exercise leads to an increase of adrenalin, which also triggers a patient’s natural immune response. This can alter the tumor microenvironment and lead to reduced tumor growth. New data suggest that exercise could improve immune responses against cancer cells. It works by increasing immune cell infiltration to the tumor. And it may have an impact on disease progression. A new clinical trial has been initiated. It will investigate if high-intensity exercise can benefit patients with lung cancer. Can adrenalin mobilize and increase the infiltration…
