Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.2K
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.

Mouse Models of Cancer Study02:43

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

5.6K
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,...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

460
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 Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

407
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...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.0K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes01:33

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes

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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health Policy
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The President's Cancer Panel (Panel) is a federal advisory committee tasked with overseeing the U.S. National Cancer Program.
  • Established over 50 years ago, the Panel has a history of gathering input and recommending actions to advance cancer control.
  • Its unique structure and function warrant examination for potential global application.

Approach:

  • This work provides an overview of the President's Cancer Panel model, highlighting its distinctive characteristics.
  • It details the processes, outputs, and achievements of the Panel serving from 2012 to 2018 under President Barack Obama.
  • The Panel convened 11 meetings with 165 participants representing diverse perspectives.

Key Points:

  • The Panel focused on three critical areas: HPV vaccination for cancer prevention, connected health in cancer care, and the value and affordability of cancer drugs.
  • Four reports were delivered to the President, receiving approximately 270 citations in scientific literature.
  • Over 20 collaborative activities, including funding commitments, resulted from the Panel's recommendations.

Conclusions:

  • The President's Cancer Panel underscores the significance of independent advisory bodies in national cancer control programs.
  • It emphasizes the importance of national leadership in supporting the cancer community.
  • The Panel's operational model demonstrates potential applicability in international cancer control efforts worldwide.
