In his monthly podcast for The Journal of Community and Supportive Oncology, Dr David Henry looks at Original Reports on the comparison of atropine-diphenoxylate and hyoscyamine in lowering the rates of irinotecan-related cholinergic syndrome; the effects of age and comorbidities in the management of rectal cancer in elderly patients at an institution in Portugal; the impact of a telehealth intervention on quality of life and symptom distress in patients with head and neck cancer; and the beneficial effects of animal-assisted visits on quality of life during multimodal radiation-chemotherapy regimens. He also discusses a Research Report in which the authors attempt, possibly for the first time, to quantify radiation exposure from diagnostic procedures in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, as well as two feature articles – a round-up of some of the presentations at the 2014 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and a Journal Club presentation of therapies for lymphoproliferative disorders.
