Zusammenfassung: Das NCCN Distress-Thermometer ist ein vom National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) entwickeltes Screeninginstrument zur Erfassung psychosozialer Belastungen bei onkologischen Patienten. Es besteht aus einer Skala von 0 bis 10 und einer Problemliste als Überweisungsschema zu entsprechenden professionellen Diensten. International wird ein Cut-off-Wert von 5 als Signal empfohlen, dass ein Patient auffällig belastet ist und Unterstützung benötigt. Die deutsche Adaptation erfolgte an einer Stichprobe von n = 475 Krebspatienten in der onkologischen Rehabilitation. Zur Validierung wurde die Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D) und die Kurzform des Fragebogens zur Progredienzangst (PA-F 12) eingesetzt. Die Diskriminationsfähigkeit des Distress-Thermometers ist besonders zur Identifikation einer hohen Belastung (HADS Cut-off > 11) mit AUC-Werten von 0.71 bis 0.76 gut. Bei einem Cut-off-Wert von 5 im Distress-Thermometer zeigen sich bei moderater Belastung in den Merkmalen Angst und/oder Depressivität (HADS Cut-off > 8) eine Sensitivität bis 84 % und eine deutlich niedrigere Spezifität von bis zu 47 %. Bei einem HADS Cut-off > 11 und einem Cut-off-Wert von 5 im Distress-Thermometer liegen die Sensitivitätswerte bei bis zu 97 % und die Spezifitätswerte bei 41 %. Die Spezifität des Instruments ist in der deutschen Stichprobe niedriger als die in internationalen Studien gefundenen Werte, die Sensitivität ist entsprechend höher. Das NCCN Distress-Thermometer stellt aufgrund seiner hohen Akzeptanz, seiner Kürze und guten Praktikabilität im klinischen Alltag ein Screeninginstrument dar, das für den weiteren Einsatz in der onkologischen Versorgung empfohlen werden kann.

PURPOSE: The field of psycho-oncology is relatively undeveloped, with little information existing regarding the use of psychologists at cancer centers. Comprising 30 leading cancer centers across the United States, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) set out to understand the trends in its Member Institutions. METHODS: The NCCN Best Practices Committee surveyed NCCN Member Institutions regarding their use of psychologists. The survey was administered electronically in the spring/summer of 2017. RESULTS: The survey was completed by 18 cancer centers. Across institutions, 94% have psychologists appointed to provide direct care to their cancer center patients. The number of licensed psychologist full-time equivalents (FTEs) on staff who provide direct patient care ranged from < 1.0 FTE (17%) to 17.0-17.9 FTEs (6%). Regarding psychologist appointments, 41% have both faculty and staff appointments, 41% have all faculty appointments, and 18% have all staff appointments. Forty-three percent of institutions indicated that some licensed psychologists at their centers (ranging from 1%-65%) do not provide any direct clinical care, and 57% indicated that all licensed psychologist on staff devote some amount of time to direct clinical care. The percent of clinical care time that is spent on direct clinical care ranged from 15%-90%. CONCLUSION: There is great variability in psychology staffing, academic appointments, and the amount of direct patient care provided by on-staff psychologists at cancer centers.

FUNDAMENTOS: O câncer de maior incidência no Brasil é o de pele não-melanoma, que afeta aproximadamente 0,06% da população. Não existem políticas públicas para sua prevenção e o impacto econômico do seu diagnóstico não tem sido avaliado. OBJETIVOS: Estimar os custos do diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer de pele não-melanoma no Estado de São Paulo entre 2000 a 2007 e compará-los com os do melanoma cutâneo no mesmo período. MÉTODOS: Foi utilizado como modelo de procedimento o projeto diretriz Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology, (National Comprehensive Cancer Network), adequado aos procedimentos da Fundação SOBECCan - Hospital do Câncer de Ribeirão Preto - SP. Os custos estimados baseiam-se nos valores do tratamento médico pagos pelos setores público e privado em 2007. RESULTADOS: Os valores médios de custo individual do tratamento anual do câncer de pele não-melanoma são muito mais baixos do que os estimados para o tratamento do melanoma cutâneo. Entretanto, observados os gastos totais no tratamento do câncer de pele não-melanoma, percebe-se que os 42.184 casos deste câncer em São Paulo, no período estudado, fazem com que o custo total do seu tratamento seja 14% superior ao dos 2.740 casos de melanoma cutâneo registrados no mesmo período para o SUS. Porém, para o sistema privado, o gasto total é, aproximadamente, 34% menor para o tratamento do câncer de pele não-melanoma. CONCLUSÃO: O elevado número de casos de câncer de pele não-melanoma no Brasil - com 114 mil novos casos previstos para 2010, sendo 95% diagnosticados em estágios precoces - representa um impacto financeiro ao sistema público e aos sistemas privados de saúde de cerca de R$ 37 milhões e R$ 26 milhões ao ano, respectivamente
