Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Healthcare Agencies I01:18

Healthcare Agencies I

Healthcare agencies provide healthcare services to people. In the United States, voluntary agencies are often non-profit centers sponsored by donations, grants, or fundraisers. One such organization is Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly and homebound. The American Heart Association and the American Lung Association are other non-profit community organizations. Doctors and nurses are frequently active members of these organizations, which offer health checks and educational...
Cancer02:18

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Cancer Prevention
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Hispanic and Black men.
  • Access to screening is a significant barrier for high-risk communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and importance of a bilingual, community-based prostate cancer screening program.
  • To reach underserved Hispanic and Black men in a high-risk area.

Main Methods:

  • A partnership (East Harlem Partnership for Cancer Awareness - EHPCA) coordinated monthly free screenings.
  • Screenings included bilingual education (Spanish/English), digital rectal exams (DRE), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests.

Main Results:

  • Participant feedback indicated increased knowledge and program helpfulness.
  • Nearly 90% of participants opted for DRE and PSA testing.
  • 4 out of 150 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Conclusions:

  • Free prostate cancer screening is a successful strategy to engage men who may otherwise not seek testing.
  • Men in the program demonstrated willingness to be tested and pursue necessary follow-up care.
