This book was released on 2003-05-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer ranks second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death in the United States, making it a tremendous burden in years of life lost, patient suffering, and economic costs. Fulfilling the Potential for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection reviews the proof that we can dramatically reduce cancer rates. The National Cancer Policy Board, part of the Institute of Medicine, outlines a national strategy to realize the promise of cancer prevention and early detection, including specific and wide-ranging recommendations. Offering a wealth of information and directly addressing major controversies, the book includes: A detailed look at how significantly cancer could be reduced through lifestyle changes, evaluating approaches used to alter eating, smoking, and exercise habits. An analysis of the intuitive notion that screening for cancer leads to improved health outcomes, including a discussion of screening methods, potential risks, and current recommendations. An examination of cancer prevention and control opportunities in primary health care delivery settings, including a review of interventions aimed at improving provider performance. Reviews of professional education and training programs, research trends and opportunities, and federal programs that support cancer prevention and early detection. This in-depth volume will be of interest to policy analysts, cancer and public health specialists, health care administrators and providers, researchers, insurers, medical journalists, and patient advocates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Download or read book Ensuring Quality Cancer Care written by National Cancer Policy Board and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-08-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all want to believe that when people get cancer, they will receive medical care of the highest quality. Even as new scientific breakthroughs are announced, though, many cancer patients may be getting the wrong care, too little care, or too much care, in the form of unnecessary procedures. How close is American medicine to the ideal of quality cancer care for every person with cancer? Ensuring Quality Cancer Care provides a comprehensive picture of how cancer care is delivered in our nation, from early detection to end-of-life issues. The National Cancer Policy Board defines quality care and recommends how to monitor, measure, and extend quality care to all people with cancer. Approaches to accountability in health care are reviewed. What keeps people from getting care? The book explains how lack of medical coverage, social and economic status, patient beliefs, physician decision-making, and other factors can stand between the patient and the best possible care. The board explores how cancer care is shaped by the current focus on evidence-based medicine, the widespread adoption of managed care, where services are provided, and who provides care. Specific shortfalls in the care of breast and prostate cancer are identified. A status report on health services research is included. Ensuring Quality Cancer Care offers wide-ranging data and information in clear context. As the baby boomers approach the years when most cancer occurs, this timely volume will be of special interest to health policy makers, public and private healthcare purchasers, medical professionals, patient advocates, researchers, and people with cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation considers an evaluation of the health education and patient navigation (PN) intervention, Friend to Friend plus Patient Navigation Program (FTF+PN). In 2010, the Texas A & M AgriLife Extension Service was awarded outreach education funding by the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to adapt the evidence-based program, Friend to Friend (FTF) in rural and border counties in Texas. FTF consists of “pink parties” intended for an audience of lower income, un-/underinsured women aged 40+ who may be disabled, self-employed, and/or have limited English proficiency (LEP). Increased funding in 2012 supported the addition of four, fulltime equivalent patient navigators to join the team of four, full-time equivalent regional cancer prevention specialists to allow for follow-up and active support for women to obtain the screenings. FTF+PN seeks to build an effective, sustainable infrastructure and overcome barriers to breast and cervical screening and diagnostic services to increase screening rates for underserved, un-/under-insured, and older women in approximately 60 rural and border counties. The goal is to increase the number of women screened according to American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for breast and cervical cancer, thereby increasing the probability any cancers detected would be diagnosed in earlier stages. At the time, ACS guidelines recommended annual mammograms for women aged 40-54 and biannual mammograms for those aged 55+ with average risk of breast cancer. For cervical cancer screenings, recommendations included Pap tests every 3 years for women aged 21-29 and every 5 years for women aged 30-65 with no additional screenings needed for women aged 65+ if their previous results were normal. The goal of this evaluation is to demonstrate the efficacy of combining PN, a patient-centered healthcare delivery model that utilizes trained lay navigators to integrate a fragmented system of care in order to reduce barriers to timely care for individuals and subsequently reduce disparities for population groups, with a health education intervention adapted for rural and border Texas. Screening outcomes are also evaluated in light of county-level poverty rates and educational attainment to provide more comprehensive statistical models advancing scientific understanding of screening behavior among varying groups of women.
