Cancer Prevention

8.7K
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 Therapies

10.7K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer Vaccines

1.4K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

10.2K
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.
Such genes that act...

Area of Science:

  • Community Health
  • Health Education
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • The UCSD Moores Cancer Center's Asian Grocery Store-Based Cancer Education Program (the Program) has operated since 1994.
  • The Program disseminates cancer and poison control information to Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities.
  • A systematic process was developed to create new health education modules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the process of identifying health topics for the Program.
  • To report pilot testing results of a newly developed educational module.
  • To ensure cultural and linguistic relevance in health education for API communities.

Main Methods:

  • Module development guided by the Health Belief Model and Tipping Point Model.
  • Selection of health topics based on community need and modifiable risk factors (Pareto principle).
  • Creation of "sticky messaging" for memorable calls-to-action and pilot testing in grocery store outreaches.

Main Results:

  • Liver cancer identified as a pressing health issue for API communities.
  • Reasonably modifiable risk factors for liver cancer were identified.
  • Compelling calls-to-action were generated to decrease exposure risk, and the module showed cultural and linguistic alignment.

Conclusions:

  • The described methodical process, guided by scientific principles, successfully developed and pilot-tested a liver cancer control module.
  • This evidence-based approach enhances the likelihood of addressing the health needs of the API community.
  • The Program provides a proven and sustainable strategy for disseminating health information to underserved populations.
