Breast Cancer Survivorship Sample Clauses

Breast Cancer Survivorship. ‌ Breast cancer survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues after the end of treatment. Broadly speaking, as long as a patient is alive, the patient can be considered a survivor. The current study will restrict the scope of breast cancer survivorship to the patient wellbeing after treatment, which consists of a number of factors beyond the cancer itself. These factors range from physical symptoms such as pain and infections to emotional issues such as anxiety resulting from diagnosis and surgical procedures such as mastectomy. Breast cancer survivorship can be particularly complicated by the various side effects of therapies which lower quality of life and are difficult to alleviate. The mainline chemotherapy agents such as anthracycline based ones are known to induce a number of side effects. Notably, doxorubicin may cause cardiomyopathy, which is a highly lethal condition (Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2010). Radiotherapy is itself a powerful carcinogen, and can raise the risk of secondary cancers in patients (Xxxx et al., 2017). Due to the known toxicity of the prevalent therapy options, some have questioned the necessity of chemotherapy treatment. It has been suggested that depending on the gene-expression profile of patients, harsh chemotherapy agents may not be necessary because some patients may not respond to the drug and exposure to side effects would be unwarranted (Sparano et al., 2015). All cancer therapies, including endocrine and targeted therapies that show considerably less toxicity than agents such as anthracycline, can still cause systemic side effects in addition to local side effects in particular organs. The immune system is composed of highly replicative blood cells. These cells are susceptible to typical cancer therapeutics targeting cell division or signaling and particularly at risk, resulting in both pro-immunogenic and immune suppressive effects of chemotherapy (Formenti et al., 2010). The dysregulation of the immune system can further lead to inflammation, increased risk of secondary disease, and cancer related fatigue (CRF), an often persistent condition that greatly lowers the quality of life of survivors (Xxxxx, 2015).

This means that when one (1) owner dies, all sums in the account will pass to the surviving owner(s). For a joint account without rights of survivorship, the deceased owner’s interest passes to his or her estate.

  • Religious Objectors Any employee covered hereby who maintains that she/he holds a sincere and bona fide religious belief that conflicts with an obligation to financially support MSEA-SEIU, public employee organizations or labor organizations in general may seek religious objector status by petitioning MSEA-SEIU. Any such employee who is found to hold a sincere and bona fide religious belief that conflicts with an obligation to financially support MSEA-SEIU, public employee organizations or labor organizations in general, shall have the right to refuse to make service fee payments; provided, however, that said right to refuse shall continue only so long as the employee makes contributions at least equal in amount to the service fee to a non-religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the employee so refusing and the Union, within ten (10) days after each payday. Part-time employees’ contributions to non-religious charitable organizations shall coincide in amount with the payments of those part-time employees paying the service fee. MSEA-SEIU shall not unreasonably deny the choice of such non-religious charitable organization suggested by the employee. An administrative or legal challenge to a denial of a petition for religious objector status may be filed in an appropriate forum. The State of Maine Office of Employee Relations is not such a forum. Should an employee have a pending written request for religious objector status or a pending administrative or legal challenge regarding their religious objector status, the State will continue to deduct an amount equal to the service fee from the employee’s pay until the request is granted or the challenge is resolved in the employee’s favor, and that amount will be placed by MSEA- SEIU in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of such dispute or request. MSEA-SEIU shall pay for any maintenance fees associated with such escrow accounts. The State shall not be liable for any fees, costs, damages, expenses, or any other form of liability involved with regard to such escrow accounts. If an employee is granted religious objector status, MSEA- SEIU will notify the State of the employee’s religious objector status, and the State will cease automatic service fee deductions. It shall be the sole obligation of MSEA-SEIU to certify to the State the name of any employee who has failed to make timely contributions as a religious objector and has, thus, forfeited religious objector status. Once MSEA-SEIU has certified the employee’s name to the State, the State will commence and continue to automatically deduct the service fee from the employee’s pay as provided in Section 1.
