Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

7.5K
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.
Some...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

557
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...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.5K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

9.1K
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...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

852
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...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study02:43

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

6.2K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities Research
  • Community-Engaged Research

Background:

  • Significant cancer disparities exist in Wisconsin, particularly in specific geographic areas and among racial/ethnic minority groups.
  • Cancer disparities are complex, multifactorial issues requiring collaborative, multilevel interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand the nature of cancer disparities in Wisconsin.
  • To identify opportunities for collaboration between community and research sectors to address these disparities.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 10 listening sessions and 29 interviews with 205 diverse participants (May 2017-October 2018).
  • Utilized semistructured questions focusing on causes, solutions, and opportunities related to cancer burden maps.
  • Employed the Model for Analysis of Population Health and Health Disparities for theme summarization, coding, and identifying collaborative areas.

Main Results:

  • Community members emphasized addressing individual behaviors, medical mistrust, and building equitable partnerships.
  • Researchers highlighted societal factors like poverty, policy, biology, genetics, and lifestyle influences.
  • Both groups identified environmental and location-based impacts on cancer disparities.

Conclusions:

  • Listening sessions and interviews provided critical insights into cancer disparity contributors, barriers, and improvement opportunities.
  • The distinct perspectives of community members and researchers highlight the necessity of multisector teams for tackling complex cancer disparities.
