Plain Language Summary Cancer patient navigators work in diverse settings ranging from community‐based programs to comprehensive cancer centers improve outcomes underserved populations by eliminating barriers timely prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship a culturally appropriate competent manner. This article clarifies the roles responsibilities of Entry, Intermediate, Advanced level navigators. The competencies described this apply navigators, nurse social...
The Cohort Consortium Vitamin D Pooling Project of Rarer Cancers (VDPP), a consortium 10 prospective cohort studies from the United States, Finland, and China, was formed to examine associations between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) concentrations risk rarer cancers. Cases (total n = 5,491) included incident primary endometrial (n 830), kidney 775), ovarian 516), pancreatic 952), upper gastrointestinal tract 1,065) cancers non-Hodgkin lymphoma 1,353) diagnosed in participating...
This article provides guidance and examples for creating patient navigator job descriptions based on levels of expertise that align with the roles responsibilities detailed in January 2024 publication. By understanding depth breadth navigation, administrators can better appreciate value navigators across cancer continuum.
Preanalytical conditions encountered during collection, processing, and storage of biospecimens may influence laboratory results. The National Children's Study (NCS) is a planned prospective cohort study 100,000 families to examine the wide variety exposures on child health. In developing biospecimen procedures for NCS, we identified several analytes different biochemical categories which it was unclear what extent deviations from NCS could measurement results.A pilot performed effects...
The August 2011 Clinical and Translational Science Awards conference "Using IT to Improve Community Health: How Health Care Reform Supports Innovation" convened four "Think Tank" sessions. Thirty individuals, representing various perspectives on community engagement, attended the "Health information technology (HIT) as a resource improve health education" session, which focused using HIT patient health, education, research involvement. Participants discussed range of topics semistructured...
Cancer prevention postdoctoral fellowships have existed since the 1970s. The National Institute facilitated a meeting by panel of experts in April 2013 to consider four important topics for future directions cancer training programs: (i) research needs; (ii) underrepresented disciplines; (iii) curriculum; and (iv) career preparation. Panelists proffered several areas needing more or emphasis, ranging from computational science culture. Health care providers, along with persons nontraditional...
Introduction: Although older individuals are more prone to hypoglycaemia, it is not known if they have sufficient understanding of the risks hypoglycaemia or factors that predispose it. We evaluated effectiveness education and examined increased susceptibility among people with diabetes. Methods: Forty-five patients (male/female) aged >65 years diabetes were identified through outpatient clinics at a secondary care hospital. Information relating received, awareness associated risk was...

Many areas, especially rural underserved communities, face a significant shortage professionals, making it difficult for timely support treatment. Traditional therapy can be expensive, time-consuming, intimidating, discouraging care delaying essential The goal...
Abstract: Despite significant advances across the cancer continuum from prevention through survivorship, achieving uniform high-quality, patient-centered care for all remains a challenge. We have entered era of precision medicine and multi-modal treatment where promise cure is great. Yet fragmented disparities in outcomes persist, especially among those individuals low income under-resourced backgrounds. Thoughtful, mindful, purposeful implementation technology-based innovations potential to...
6500 Background: Socioeconomic disparities negatively impact adjuvant breast cancer treatment completion. A web-based knowledge application was developed in collaboration with survivors and evaluated a randomized clinical trial for the on adherence without virtual navigator support. The provides direct links to vetted websites both study arms, and, intervention arm, tailored documents, short instructional videos, visits via videoconference or phone are provided. Methods: Eligible patients...
Abstract Background: Fragmented care, limited psychosocial support, and poor symptom management plague some women with breast cancer, especially those low income, leading to health outcomes among disadvantaged groups. To address these disparities a “virtual” navigator system was developed. The efficacy of patient navigation delivered via web-based knowledge communication portal improve adherence, quality life low-income undergoing adjuvant cancer treatment is being evaluated in randomized...
