Cancer Prevention

6.5K
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.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Preventive Healthcare Services

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:

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

4.7K
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
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Health Communication

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer screening rates in the US are suboptimal, especially in low-income and minority groups.
  • Effective, low-cost screening options like the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) exist but have low uptake.
  • Scalable outreach is needed to boost screening and reduce healthcare staff burden.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess if behavioral economics-informed automated text messages increase FIT completion compared to nurse-led telephone outreach.
  • To evaluate a scalable strategy for improving colorectal cancer screening in safety-net settings.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized clinical trial involving 1275 adults at 8 Federally Qualified Health Centers.
  • Intervention group received 3 automated text message reminders; control group received 1 nurse-led telephone call.
  • Primary outcome: FIT completion within 21 days, assessed via electronic health records.

Main Results:

  • FIT completion within 21 days was significantly higher in the text message group (58.9%) versus the telephone group (49.8%).
  • The absolute difference in completion was 9.0 percentage points (P=.001).
  • No significant differences in effectiveness were found based on age, sex, race, ethnicity, or patient portal use.

Conclusions:

  • A behaviorally informed text messaging strategy significantly improved FIT completion rates.
  • Automated messaging offers a scalable, low-cost method to promote preventive care in underserved populations.
  • This approach can help reduce staff burden in safety-net settings.
