Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

363
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

345
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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.0K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.6K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes01:05

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

7.4K
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
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Cancer prevention is a critical component of reducing the global cancer burden.
  • Existing terminology may not adequately support equitable cancer control strategies.
  • Addressing disparities in cancer care requires a unified approach to risk assessment and prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel terminology framework for cancer prevention.
  • To guide cancer prevention efforts with a focus on equity.
  • To operationalize the principle of "equal care for equal risk" in cancer control.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework development.
  • Literature review on cancer prevention and health equity.
  • Analysis of current terminology in cancer control.

Main Results:

  • A proposed terminology framework for cancer prevention has been developed.
  • The framework emphasizes risk stratification and tailored prevention strategies.
  • The principle of "equal care for equal risk" is integrated into the proposed terminology.

Conclusions:

  • The new terminology framework can enhance the effectiveness and equity of cancer prevention programs.
  • Adoption of this framework may lead to more targeted and equitable cancer control.
  • Promoting "equal care for equal risk" is essential for advancing health equity in oncology.
