Small peripheral lung adenocarcinomas shown on CT exhibit four high-resolution CT patterns that corresponded to the histopathologic findings of different tumor growth patterns.
Aim
This study is conducted to synthesize the effects of web‐based self‐management intervention on patients with cancer.
Evaluation
We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library databases for related randomized controlled trials from inception through 2021. Reference lists of included studies were also searched for additional qualified studies. For quantitative data synthesis, standardized mean differences were used to eliminate the influence caused by different scales. Narrative synthesis was also performed.
Key issues
Nine in 1149 studies were included for narrative and quantitative analysis. The pooled data suggested that patients in the intervention group had better quality of life (standardized mean difference = 1.091, 95% confidence interval: 0.155–2.028) and lower depression (standardized mean difference = −1.634, 95% confidence interval: −2.980 to −0.287) than those in the control group. The result of narrative synthesis is that patients receiving intervention had lower cancer or symptom distress and higher self‐efficacy than those in the control group.
Conclusion
Web‐based self‐management intervention improved lives of cancer survivors.
Lymphadenopathy is associated with a wide range of disorders; however, metastatic lymph nodes of malignancies are the most common cause for enlarged lymph nodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
