Background In the United States, there are lower rates of breastfeeding among African American mothers, particularly those who younger women. Recent epidemiological studies have shown a strong association more aggressive types breast cancer (estrogen receptor negative) women, with higher risk in women did not breastfeed their children. Objective This study aims to describe process evaluation recruitment and educational strategies engage pregnant participants for pilot designed determine...

As one of the 10 most common cancers in United States, bladder cancer is expensive to treat. Most (70%-80%) are diagnosed at early stages as non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC), which can be removed. However, 50% 80% NMIBC recurs within 5 years, and 15% 30% progresses with poor survival. Besides life-long surveillance, current treatment limited. Preclinical epidemiologic evidence suggest that dietary isothiocyanates (ITCs) cruciferous vegetables (Cruciferae) could a noninvasive cost-effective...

Bladder cancer is one of the top 10 most common cancers in United States. Most bladder (70%-80%) are diagnosed at early stages as non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC), which can be removed surgically. However, 50% to 80% NMIBC cases recur within 5 years, and 15% 30% progress with poor survival. Current treatments limited expensive. A wealth preclinical epidemiological evidence suggests that dietary isothiocyanates cruciferous vegetables (Cruciferae) could a novel, noninvasive, cost-effective strategy...

Abstract Background New evidence has found breast and cervical cancer risk factors unique to African American women. Thus, there is a significant need increase their knowledge understanding of relevant the potential protective benefits associated with breast‐feeding HPV vaccination. The National Witness Project robust, evidence‐ community‐based lay health advisor programme that uses group education, navigation survivor narratives screening among diverse underserved Methods A multi‐phase,...

Cancer prevention, screening, and early detection play an integral role in cancer incidence outcomes. It is estimated that 30% to 50% of cancers worldwide are preventable, it well established many associated with improved treatment A recent NCCN Policy Summit: Reducing the Burden Through Prevention Early Detection brought together healthcare providers, payers, policymakers, patient advocates, industry representatives, technology representatives explore challenges, triumphs, outstanding...

Abstract Background: It is documented that inequities in research participation by minority and underrepresented populations limits the progression of personalized medicine for cancer treatment these groups. A lack understanding essential information during consent process poor physician-patient communication have been noted as two overarching barriers to patients participating translational, clinical biospecimen research. To address major patient barriers, we developed a plain language...

Abstract Purpose of Study: Incidence rates for aggressive ER- breast cancer in African Americans have continued to increase, and epidemiologic studies (AMBER Consortium) suggest breastfeeding can reduce risks this deadly disease. Notably, are lowest among poor, younger, American mothers, offering an opportunity intervene. Health behavior theories show that perceived risk health problems be a motivating factor change. The purpose NCI R21 study was examine the behavioral impact tailored...
