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.

Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity01:25

Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity

Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity refer to the ability of drugs to cause genetic defects and induce cancer, respectively. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies agents into four groups based on their carcinogenic potential. Group 1 agents are known human carcinogens; group 2A agents are probably carcinogenic to humans; group 3 agents lack data to support their role in carcinogenesis; and group 4 includes agents for which data support that they are not likely to be...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Cancer Control
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • Examining the 2007 Commission of Inquiry on Hormone Receptor Testing in Newfoundland and Labrador.
  • Focusing on flawed estrogen and progesterone tests (1997-2005).

Purpose of the Study:

  • Analyze knowledge transfer activities by the Canadian Cancer Society - Newfoundland and Labrador Division (CCS-NL).
  • Assess CCS-NL's role in shaping cancer control policy.

Main Methods:

  • Case study of the Commission of Inquiry.
  • Documenting CCS-NL's strategies: advisory panels, academic papers, patient interviews, public awareness campaigns, and support hotlines.

Main Results:

  • CCS-NL's key messages were incorporated into the Commission's recommendations.
  • Increased investment in cancer care followed the Inquiry.

Conclusions:

  • CCS-NL's success attributed to its patient advocacy role and researcher relationships.
  • Demonstrates effective knowledge transfer by a community NGO in public policy development.
