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.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Medical Informatics
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Mammography screening uptake in Singapore is below 40%, despite public health campaigns and financial incentives.
  • Traditional surveys often miss nuanced attitudes towards breast cancer (BC) screening, limiting understanding of influencing factors.
  • Natural language processing (NLP) offers a method to analyze free-text responses for deeper insights into screening behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize women's attitudes towards mammography screening using mixed-methods data.
  • To examine the association between breast cancer (BC) awareness and willingness to undergo screening.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators influencing screening decisions through NLP analysis of free-text responses.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involved 4169 women aged 35-59 in Singapore, using online questionnaires and a BC education quiz.
  • Breast cancer (BC) awareness was defined as scoring >80% on the post-education quiz.
  • NLP techniques, including biterm topic modeling and sentiment analysis, were applied to 3819 English-language free-text responses to quantify themes and emotional tone.

Main Results:

  • Breast cancer (BC)-aware women showed significantly higher screening motivation (aOR 2.88) compared to BC-unaware women.
  • Positive associations with motivation were found for higher housing types, marital status, and prior screening attendance.
  • NLP analysis revealed motivated women emphasized early detection benefits, while neutral women focused on pain and cost barriers, with distinct emotional sentiment.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating quantitative data with NLP uncovers differing emotional framing of screening concepts between motivated and neutral women.
  • Findings highlight the limitations of knowledge- or intent-focused approaches alone in understanding screening behavior.
  • Emotionally tailored breast cancer (BC) education and prevention strategies are recommended to improve screening uptake.
