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 pathway","PeriodicalId":73631,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer & allied specialties","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90287969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors are involved in the aetiology of this disease. Genetic risk factors include alterations (mutations) in genes conferring risks to develop breast cancer. Depending on the associated lifetime risks of this malignancy, these genes are categorised into high-, moderate- and low-risk genes. Women carrying mutations in these genes are at an increased risk to develop breast cancer, ovarian cancer and several other malignancies. Breast carcinoma is the most reported malignancy in Pakistani females. Pakistan is a developing country with most of its population living in rural areas; hence, optimal healthcare facilities are inadequate for the early diagnosis and prevention of this disease. Hence, identification of individuals carrying mutations is clinically relevant as different strategies are available for the early detection, risk reduction and better management of this malignancy. This review summarises the findings of the major studies conducted in Pakistan to investigate the contribution of breast cancer predisposing genes. Furthermore, implications of the current studies and future research potentials are discussed.Key words: Breast cancer gene 1/2, breast cancer, checkpoint kinase 2, genetic susceptibility, Pakistan, RAD51C, tumour Protein p53, Vitamin D receptor","PeriodicalId":73631,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer & allied specialties","volume":"85 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76195440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
