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.

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
What is Cancer?02:12

What is Cancer?

Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of patients who died from...

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:

  • Community-based participatory research
  • Health disparities
  • Cancer education and control

Background:

  • Cancer disproportionately affects American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations.
  • There is a need for culturally relevant cancer education resources for AI/AN communities.
  • Improving cancer knowledge and promoting control actions can reduce cancer burden in tribal settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of the Cancer 101 educational resource.
  • To assess changes in cancer knowledge, attitudes, and control activities among AI/AN participants.
  • To determine the effectiveness of a community-based intervention in tribal settings.

Main Methods:

  • A community-based intervention study design.
  • Development of Cancer 101 in collaboration with AI/AN communities.
  • Pre/post-surveys administered at baseline, immediately post-training, and 4-6 months follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Participants showed significant improvements in cancer knowledge.
  • Attitudes towards cancer control and engagement in cancer control activities were positively impacted.
  • The intervention demonstrated effectiveness in promoting behavioral changes.

Conclusions:

  • Cancer 101 is an effective pathway to increase cancer knowledge within tribal communities.
  • The resource promotes action to reduce the cancer burden among AI/AN individuals.
  • This intervention has the potential to improve cancer survival rates in tribal settings.
