Cancer Statistics from the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust’s Hospital-based Cancer Registry, Pakistan, 1994–2022: An Observational Study
Full text linkIntroduction: The Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust (SKMT) has been operational since February 1990. The first Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center (SKMCH&RC) started functioning in Lahore on December 29, 1994. SKMCH&RC, Peshawar, started its operation in December 2015. The study aimed to give an overview of the cancer cases registered at SKMCH&RC over a 28-year period. Material and Methods: This study comprised patient data entered into the hospital information system after registration at the centers affiliated with the Trust. The malignancies were stratified according to sex and age category (children (</= 18 years) and adults (> 18 years)). Results: Neoplasms of the breast, lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and lip and oral cavity were prevalent in all ages and both sexes combined; in adult females, neoplasms of the breast, ovary and uterine adnexa, and lip and oral cavity; in adult males, lower GI system, prostate, and lip and oral cavity; and in children, Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were predominant. Conclusion: Cases registered in a hospital-based registry are important. When combined with information from other facilities, they can estimate population-level statistics. This can improve cancer surveillance in the country for effective disease prevention, control, and management

COMPARISON OF DOCUMENTED PATIENT CARE BEFORE AND AFTER IMPLEMENTATION OF END OF LIFE CARE PATHWAY FOR TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS AT SHAUKAT KHANUM MEMORIAL CANCER HOSPITAL AND RESEARCH CENTRE
Full text linkPurpose: Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Cancer primarily deals with cancer patients and has various departments which provide best-integrated lifesaving care. However, when patients who have been given all possible medical and oncological treatment still progress their disease, they are then referred for best supportive care to palliative care department. The aim of this paper was to audit documented care for palliative patients before and after implementation of end of life care (ELC) pathway.Materials and Methods: We used a retrospective method to audit 45 terminally ill patients over a period of 3 months. Then, a re-audit was done over a period of 3 months and data were collected for patients who were started on SKM-ELC pathway.Results: Results show that the implementation of ELC pathway, 67% of the patients were not prescribed PRN medications for symptom control, 20% of the patients were not reviewed for the need of assisted nutrition and for 20% of the patient’s primary team were not even notified that the patient is dying. After the ELC pathway implementation, it was found that 100% of patients were reviewed for PRN medications and assisted nutrition. Oncologists were timely notified that the patient is dying.Conclusion: In summary, we can say that implantation of ELC pathway has significantly improved documented patients care in all aspects.Key words: Cancer, care for dying, end of life care, goals of care pathwa
