This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the leading cancer-related deaths recorded recently in men and women in the United States of America. Hispanics are at a higher risk of CRC-related mortality and morbidity due to lower education levels, high rates of poverty, being uninsured, and not being able to access healthcare services. These differences are reflected in the rates of CRC testing and screening rates. CRC screening methods amongst others are colonoscopy, barium enema, fecal occult blood testing (FOBT), and or Cologuard4́Ø stool testing. Through a primary care clinic, an educational program, offered in either Spanish or English per the patient's preference, was aimed at enhancing the patient's understanding of CRC screenings was developed for this Evidence-based practice (EBP) change project. This project involved thirty Hispanic participants who had not had CRC screening before. The participants were asked a series of nine questions (pre and posttest format in Spanish or English) to assess their knowledge on CRC both before and after education. The participants were asked about their intent to undergo CRC screening during the pretest and posttest and through a 2-week follow-up phone call. The intervention was effective in increasing the mean pretest to posttest scores from 45.6% to 77.77% respectively, a relative increase of 70.55%. The participants were asked the intent to screen prior to the intervention which was 27% and 80% in the moment of the intervention, however after 2-weeks intent to screen was 30%, which was 2% above the projected benchmark. In the baseline, 27% of the participants were interested in CRC screening while the percentage increased in a span of two weeks to 30% which was a 3% increase, and the change represented an 11.11% rise in the intent to screen as an outcome of the intervention. Key words: Colorectal cancer (CRC), Colorectal cancer screening, Colonoscopy, Hispanics. " -- Abstract

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: This open access book gives an overview of the sessions, panel discussions, and outcomes of the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference, held in February 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and hosted by the Mays Cancer Center and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Latinos – the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group in the United States – are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming years. Although there has been substantial advancement in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few decades, addressing Latino cancer health disparities has not nearly kept pace with progress. The diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists brought together at the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference provided in-depth insights as well as progress and actionable goals for Latino-focused basic science research, clinical best practices, community interventions, and what can be done by way of prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in Latinos. These insights have been translated into the chapters included in this compendium; the chapters summarize the presentations and include current knowledge in the specific topic areas, identified gaps, and top priority areas for future cancer research in Latinos. Topics included among the chapters: Colorectal cancer disparities in Latinos: Genes vs. Environment Breast cancer risk and mortality in women of Latin American origin Differential cancer risk in Latinos: The role of diet Overcoming barriers for Latinos on cancer clinical trials Es tiempo: Engaging Latinas in cervical cancer research Emerging policies in U.S. health care Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos proves to be an indispensable resource offering key insights into actionable targets for basic science research, suggestions for clinical best practices and community interventions, and novel strategies and advocacy opportunities to reduce health disparities in Latino communities. It will find an engaged audience among researchers, academics, physicians and other healthcare professionals, patient advocates, students, and others with an interest in the broad field of Latino cancer.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the perspectives of Latino focus group participants regarding colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and gender. In the United States (US), the Latino community screens for CRC much less than other groups. Latino men can screen at low rates while their CRC mortality rates are high. The present focus group participants corroborated findings in which Latino study participants perceive threats to masculinity to be a barrier for men in CRC screening. Using Grounded Theory to analyze the focus group transcripts, a theory emerges that explores the potential role that Latino men's female partners can have to encourage their screening. There exists evidence that Latino men can benefit from their partners' support to complete their CRC screening. In theory, a woman's encouragement is successful in this context because she can mitigate the perceived threats to masculinity. Further research should test the strategy of female partner support for Latino men's CRC screening.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Hispanic men are at higher risk of developing colon cancer compared to non-Hispanic white men, colonoscopy screening among Hispanic men is much lower than among non-Hispanic white men. University Health System (UHS) in San Antonio, Texas, instituted a Colorectal Cancer Male Navigation (CCMN) Program in 2011 specifically designed for Hispanic men. The CCMN Program contacted 461 Hispanic men 50 years of age and older to participate over a 2-year period. Of these age-eligible men, 370 were screened for CRC after being contacted by the navigator. Using participant and program data, a Markov model was constructed to determine the cost-effectiveness of the CCMN Program. An average 50-year-old Hispanic male who participates in the CCMN Program will have 0.3 more quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) compared to a similar male receiving usual care. Life expectancy is also predicted to increase by 6 months for participants compared to non-participants. The program results in net health care savings of $1,148 per participant ($424,760 for the 370 CCMN Program participants). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is estimated at $3,765 per QALY in favor of the navigation program. Interventions to reduce disparities in CRC screening across ethnic groups are needed, and this is one of the first studies to evaluate the economic benefit of a patient navigator program specifically designed for an urban population of Hispanic men. A colorectal cancer screening intervention which relies on patient navigators trained to address the unique needs of the targeted population (language barriers, transportation and scheduling assistance, colon cancer, and screening knowledge) can substantially increase the likelihood of screening and improve quality of life in a cost-effective manner.
