Abstract

Background: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and specialized support for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients are crucial yet underexplored areas of healthcare in Japan. This study investigated awareness of CGP testing and support for AYA cancer patients among healthcare professionals in Osaka.

Methods: An anonymous online survey was conducted from 31 January to 31 March 2024. The survey targeted all staff, including doctors, nurses, technicians, pharmacists and others, from eight Toyono Medical Area Cancer Medical Network Council hospitals. The survey included questions on basic demographics, awareness of CGP testing and support provided to patients with AYA cancer.

Results: Among the 720 respondents, 41.9% were aware of CGP testing, while 20.3% were unaware. Regarding AYA cancer, 60.7% were aware and 14.3% were unaware. Only 7.5% had frequent contact with AYA patients and 96.8% recognized the need for education and information. Awareness of CGP was greater among doctors (72.5%) than among other professionals (34.4%); similarly, AYA cancer awareness was higher among doctors (73.9%) than among other professionals (57.7%). CGP awareness among doctors varied by years of experience and institutional type, being highest in core and cooperative hospitals (80 and 78.6%, respectively) and among doctors with more than 21 years of experience (90%).

Conclusions: This study reveals significant gaps in CGP and AYA cancer awareness among healthcare professionals in Osaka, Japan, with doctors demonstrating higher awareness levels than other professionals. There is a pressing need for targeted educational programs to enhance the understanding and implementation of CGP and support AYA cancer patients.

日本大阪医疗保健专业人员对青少年综合基因组剖析和癌症支持的认识和实施情况。
背景:综合基因组分析(CGP)和对青少年癌症患者的专门支持是日本医疗保健领域的关键,但尚未得到充分开发。本研究调查了大阪医护人员对青少年和青年癌症患者的 CGP 检测和支持的认识:方法:于 2024 年 1 月 31 日至 3 月 31 日进行了匿名在线调查。调查对象为东野医疗区癌症医疗网络委员会八家医院的所有工作人员,包括医生、护士、技术人员、药剂师和其他人员。调查内容包括基本人口统计学、对 CGP 检测的认识以及为 AYA 癌症患者提供的支持等问题:在 720 名受访者中,41.9% 的人知道 CGP 检测,20.3% 的人不知道。对于亚健康癌症患者,60.7%的人知道,14.3%的人不知道。只有 7.5%的人经常接触老年患者,96.8%的人认识到教育和信息的必要性。医生(72.5%)对 CGP 的认知度高于其他专业人员(34.4%);同样,医生(73.9%)对 AYA 癌症的认知度也高于其他专业人员(57.7%)。医生对 CGP 的认识因工作年限和机构类型而异,核心医院和合作医院的医生对 CGP 的认识最高(分别为 80% 和 78.6%),工作年限超过 21 年的医生对 CGP 的认识最高(90%):本研究揭示了日本大阪医护人员对 CGP 和 AYA 癌症的认识存在很大差距,医生的认识水平高于其他专业人员。目前迫切需要开展有针对性的教育计划,以加强对 CGP 的了解和实施,并为老年癌症患者提供支持。
