1) Strategies for accelerating the translation of cancer prevention research findings into practice that works are needed as millions develop and die from preventable cancers.
2) Barriers to implementation include skepticism about prevention, short-term research focus, interventions deployed too late, societal factors not considered, and lack of training in implementation.
3) Implementation science aims to study how to move evidence-based interventions into practice and policy through innovative strategies to overcome adoption barriers and ensure sustainability.
This document summarizes a lecture on implementing cancer prevention strategies to reduce incidence and improve outcomes in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The lecture discusses several proven medical interventions to prevent cancer and their estimated magnitude of reduction. It also reviews behavioral, social, and policy interventions that impact cancer prevention, like reducing tobacco use, increasing physical activity, and limiting alcohol intake. The lecture emphasizes the need to speed up implementing what is already known to prevent cancer.
This document discusses strategies used in the campaign to reduce cigarette smoking rates in the United States and whether similar strategies could be effective against COVID-19. It provides statistics showing cigarette smoking rates declined significantly from the 1960s to 2018 due to public health campaigns, higher taxes on tobacco, and restrictions on tobacco advertising. However, 13.7% of Americans still smoke. The document examines how public trust and messaging were critical to the success of anti-smoking efforts. It then compares the polarized response to COVID-19 in the US, with challenges to science, public health measures and vaccines. The document questions whether the same comprehensive, multi-pronged approach that reduced smoking could work for COVID given lower trust in institutions and spread of mis
The presentation begins with a brief history of how cancer epidemiology evolved, and what is the status at present. After describing the burden of the disease of cancer globally and in India, the presentation includes a brief description of Cancer causes and prevention including screening activities. It also talks about the national Cancer Registry Program, NPCDCS and NCCP.
5th Annual Early Age Onset Colorectal Cancer Summit - Session II: Family History Ascertainment in the US - What Steps are Needed to Improve the Well Documented Less Than Optimal Status of this Situation?
This study proposes implementing a nutrition education program in Poudre School District that incorporates gardening and cooking lessons. The study analyzes the program's feasibility based on student interest, teacher acceptance, health impact, and financial impact. Student interest was high based on participation in similar programs. However, teacher acceptance was mixed - while teachers supported nutrition education, they felt unable to implement interactive programs due to preparation time requirements. The health impact was inconclusive as long-term studies have not been done, but short-term studies found improved nutrition knowledge and healthier food choices. The financial feasibility would depend on fitting costs such as staff and supplies within the school district's budget.
The top 5 cancer risk factors that are responsible for approximately 42% of cancers are smoking, excess body weight, alcohol use, UV exposure, and physical inactivity. The 5 cancers that have the highest percentage of cases that can be prevented are cervix (~100%), Kaposi's (~100%), melanoma (~95%), anal (~88%), and lung (~86%). The 5 cancers with the largest numbers of preventable cases are lung (~185,000), melanoma (~75,000), colorectal (~77,000), breast (~68,000), and oral/throat (~36,000).

The recommendations are based on extensive reviews of scientific evidence on diet, nutrition, and cancer prevention. The role of health professionals is discussed, including educating patients on following a healthy lifestyle to reduce their cancer risk and supporting cancer survivors.
The document discusses cancer prevention efforts in Malaysia. It provides information on the National Cancer Registry and reports cancer incidence data from 2007-2011. The top three most common cancers in Malaysia are breast, colorectal, and lung cancer. It also outlines the National Strategic Plan for Cancer Control Programme from 2016-2020, which aims to reduce the impact of cancer through various prevention and early detection efforts, including screening programs. Current cancer screening approaches in Malaysia are more opportunistic than organized at the population level.
- An estimated 1300 new cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed in Canada in 2011, with about 350 deaths. The incidence and mortality of cervical cancer have substantially decreased in the past 50 years due to screening.
- Screening for cervical cancer using the Pap test detects precursor lesions, allowing earlier treatment and reducing incidence of invasive disease and death from cervical cancer.
- This guideline provides updated recommendations for cervical cancer screening in Canada based on new evidence about epidemiology and diagnosis of cervical cancer. It recommends screening with Pap tests every 3 years for women aged 30-69, and discusses potential benefits and harms of screening for other age groups.

Estimating the proportion cured of cancer: Some practical advice for usersCancer Council NSW
Cure models can provide improved possibilities for inference if used appropriately, but there is potential for misleading results if care is not taken. In this study, we compared five commonly used approaches for modelling cure in a relative survival framework and provide some practical advice
on the use of these approaches.
Dolores Steinwall, the president of the Lymphedema Association of Ontario (LAO), introduced the webinar about lymphedema. Ann DiMenna, a physiotherapist and director of LAO, then discussed the lymphatic system, signs and risks of lymphedema, and treatment methods like manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and exercise. Over 400,000 Canadians are affected by lymphedema resulting from cancer treatment, injuries, or other causes. The LAO aims to support those living with lymphedema and raise awareness.
Cancer is a major health problem in India and worldwide. The document discusses cancer causes, symptoms, stages, treatments, and approaches to control cancer including prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and palliative care. Prevention through healthy lifestyle choices and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and other carcinogens is emphasized. Early detection greatly increases chances of successful treatment. The best treatment is decided by doctors based on cancer type and stage. Spreading awareness about cancer is important to fight this disease.
This document discusses the relationship between obesity, sedentary behaviors, and early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC). It summarizes several studies that found: 1) Higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of early-onset CRC but not CRC diagnosed after age 50; 2) Greater weight gain since age 18 and higher BMI at age 18 also increase early-onset CRC risk; 3) Increased time spent sitting watching TV is linked to higher early-onset CRC risk, especially for rectal cancer. Potential mechanisms for these relationships and the role of diet, the microbiome and immunity are explored.
Epidemiological evidence linking food, nutrition, physical activity and prostate cancer risk: results from the Continuous Update Project
By Michael Leitzmann, Dept. of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, University of Regensburg, Continuous Update Project Panel member
World Cancer Congress, Saturday 6 December 2014
The document discusses the importance of nutritional surveillance and counselling for cancer survivors from diagnosis through survivorship to improve outcomes. It emphasizes performing regular nutritional assessments to identify deficiencies, excess weight, and diet quality issues in survivors. The role of nutrition in cancer prevention, treatment side effects, and chronic disease prevention is also examined.
This document summarizes a study on cervical cancer screening among women ages 25-64 in urban areas of Indonesia. The study found a prevalence of precancerous cervical lesions of 7.0% among over 36,000 women screened using visual inspection with acetic acid. This rate is higher than findings from a previous study in Jakarta that found a 4.21% positive rate. The document also notes that cervical cancer is a major public health issue and leading cause of cancer death for women in developing countries. It aims to assess the prevalence of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer screening practices in Indonesia.
The document discusses Oman's national program for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes and hypertension. It notes the high prevalence of NCD risk factors in Oman like obesity, tobacco use, and physical inactivity. The program aims to implement prevention and control interventions for NCDs at the national, district hospital, primary health care, and community levels.
The document discusses spearheading cancer awareness in Kenya. It outlines the mission and vision of Women for Cancer, which aims to raise public awareness of early cancer testing and facilitate early detection and treatment. It notes statistics on various cancers in Kenya and challenges such as late presentation and limited treatment options. It emphasizes focusing cancer awareness efforts on advocacy, empowering communities, and addressing behavioral and environmental risk factors to help prevent cancers.
This document discusses strategies for cancer screening and early detection, particularly for men. It identifies key topics such as cancer prevention, public health genomics, cancer registries, challenges in cancer care, and innovative therapies. It emphasizes the importance of encouraging screening and early detection for men through positive messages and identifying socially vulnerable groups. Challenges include developing approaches to increase preventative activities for men and identifying gaps through screening and early detection. Both screening and early detection are important but screening requires evidence of population-level benefits and not all cancers can be screened for. Early detection may encourage hesitant individuals and acknowledge the cancer issue. Current challenges include a lack of guidelines leaving room for variation and not adequately risk stratifying or involving primary care.

This rate is higher than findings from a previous study in Jakarta that found a 4.21% positive rate. The document also notes that cervical cancer is a major public health issue and leading cause of cancer death for women in developing countries. It aims to assess the prevalence of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer screening practices in Indonesia.
The document discusses Oman's national program for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes and hypertension. It notes the high prevalence of NCD risk factors in Oman like obesity, tobacco use, and physical inactivity. The program aims to implement prevention and control interventions for NCDs at the national, district hospital, primary health care, and community levels.
The document discusses spearheading cancer awareness in Kenya. It outlines the mission and vision of Women for Cancer, which aims to raise public awareness of early cancer testing and facilitate early detection and treatment. It notes statistics on various cancers in Kenya and challenges such as late presentation and limited treatment options. It emphasizes focusing cancer awareness efforts on advocacy, empowering communities, and addressing behavioral and environmental risk factors to help prevent cancers.
This document discusses strategies for cancer screening and early detection, particularly for men. It identifies key topics such as cancer prevention, public health genomics, cancer registries, challenges in cancer care, and innovative therapies. It emphasizes the importance of encouraging screening and early detection for men through positive messages and identifying socially vulnerable groups. Challenges include developing approaches to increase preventative activities for men and identifying gaps through screening and early detection. Both screening and early detection are important but screening requires evidence of population-level benefits and not all cancers can be screened for. Early detection may encourage hesitant individuals and acknowledge the cancer issue. Current challenges include a lack of guidelines leaving room for variation and not adequately risk stratifying or involving primary care.

Harnessing Evidence to Prevent Breast Cancer NowGraham Colditz
This document discusses harnessing evidence to prevent breast cancer. It notes that the global burden of breast cancer is growing, with 1.7 million new cases in 2012 alone. It identifies several barriers to breast cancer prevention, including skepticism that cancer can be prevented and a short-term focus in research that is too late in the disease process. The document highlights key drivers of breast cancer risk, such as hormonal cycling during premenopausal years and peak height growth velocity during adolescence. It emphasizes the importance of focusing prevention efforts earlier in life through strategies like maintaining a healthy weight from childhood onwards.

When reducing cancer risk in our population, let’s not exacerbate disparitiesGraham Colditz
The document discusses reducing cancer disparities through precision prevention approaches. It highlights that while precision medicine focuses on treating existing disease, precision prevention aims to tailor behavioral interventions to individual characteristics to reduce cancer risk. However, efforts to refine prevention strategies could inadvertently worsen disparities if factors like health literacy levels and access to care are not considered. Priorities for avoiding disparities include collaborating with diverse partners to improve communication and applying implementation research approaches to ensure evidence-based programs reach all groups.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 7.4 million deaths in 2004. The most common types of cancer that cause deaths each year are lung, stomach, liver, colon and breast cancer. More than 30% of cancer deaths can be prevented by avoiding risk factors like tobacco use, being overweight, low fruit/vegetable intake, and infections from viruses or bacteria. Deaths from cancer are projected to continue rising, with an estimated 12 million deaths expected in 2030.

Precision prevention and tailored screening publicGraham Colditz
This document summarizes a presentation on precision prevention and tailored screening approaches. It identifies several key questions for evaluating these approaches, including whether the benefits can be clearly defined and communicated compared to population-level approaches, if they increase cost efficiency, if sufficient consideration is given to the end user experience, and if precision classification meaningfully improves outcomes over broader approaches. The presentation also discusses challenges around implementation, ensuring the right intervention reaches the right individual at the right time, and the need to consider benefits, harms and health equity impacts.
Precision Prevention: Let's Avoid Exacerbating Cancer DisparitiesGraham Colditz
The document discusses how a focus on precision medicine could exacerbate health disparities if certain populations are not adequately represented in research. It emphasizes the importance of continuing research on established cancer prevention strategies like screening and vaccination to ensure equitable access. The speaker argues researchers should avoid creating new disparities through an overly narrow focus on "incremental precision" and should consider individual variability in genes, environment, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors when developing prevention approaches.
Childhood and Adolescent lifestyle is dramatically related to lifetime breast...Graham Colditz
1) Early life factors like childhood growth patterns, adiposity, and lifestyle are strongly related to lifetime cancer risk.
2) Higher peak height growth velocity during adolescence and lower adiposity in childhood are associated with increased risk of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer.
3) Weight gain patterns differ depending on menopausal status - weight gain between ages 18-30 decreases premenopausal breast cancer risk but increases postmenopausal risk, while weight gain after menopause increases risk.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer diagnosed among women world wide. Over 5,000 cases are diagnosed each day. More than half of the global burden can be prevented with what we know now.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
The Children are very vulnerable to get affected with respiratory disease.
In our country, the respiratory Disease conditions are consider as major cause for mortality and Morbidity in Child.
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
Breast cancer :Receptor (ER/PR/HER2 NEU) Discordance.pptxDr. Sumit KUMAR
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.

Closing the Research-to-Practice Gap
• Maximize access to effective
interventions for populations that will benefit most
• Integrate service delivery across organizations to
support cancer prevention and control
• Broaden and deepen understanding of community
and organizational characteristics that influence use
of effective interventions
• Learn about the generalizability of discovery
research to different settings and populations

Physical function
• This could be measured by the PROMIS item
Global 06,
• Or by the first 5 items in the EORTC QLQ-C30,
which renders a single physical functioning
score, and is commonly used in trials.

Symptoms
• These could be measured by the NCI’s PRO-
CTCAE, for the “core” symptoms found across
cancer types as published in an NCI consensus
conference paper:
• Fatigue, insomnia, pain, anorexia (appetite loss),
dyspnea, cognitive problems, anxiety (includes
worry), nausea, depression (includes sadness),
sensory neuropathy, constipation, and diarrhea.

Utilities
• These can be assessed with the 5-item EuroQoL
EQ-5D (commonly used in clinical trials for cost-
effectiveness analyses).
• This would be a big step to help assessing value
of care.

Stack the deck for prevention
Our challenge now is to act on this knowledge, avoiding long
delays from discovery to translating knowledge to practice.
As a society, we need to avoid procrastination induced by
thoughts that chance drives all cancer risk, or that new
medical discoveries are needed to make major gains against
cancer.
Instead, we must embrace the opportunity to reduce our
collective cancer toll by implementing effective prevention
strategies and changing the way we live.
It is these efforts that will be our fastest return on past
investments in cancer research. Colditz & Sutcliffe, 2016

Very long term prevention action:
“In the beginning of every enterprise we should
know, as distinctly as possible, what we propose
to do, and the means of doing it… We desire to
lay the foundation and to mature some parts of
the plan. Those who come after us must finish
the work.”

Public health benefits
1. Lie in the future
2. Beneficiaries generally unknown
3. Public has no idea what public health programs do.
Thus, when people benefit from prevention they
don’t recognize they have been helped
4. Opposition to public health approaches that
require societal change
