Increased risk of malignancies other than pancreatic cancer (PC) has been reported among first-degree relatives (FDRs) PC patients; however, the roles susceptibility gene mutations are unclear. We assessed for 15 cancers FDRs unselected probands.
Abstract Background: While the primary role of central cancer registries in United States is to provide vital information needed for surveillance and control, these can also be leveraged population-based epidemiologic studies survivors. This study was undertaken assess feasibility using NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Program rapidly identify, recruit, enroll individuals survivor research their willingness engage a variety activities. Methods: In 2016 2017, six SEER...
ABO blood group is associated with pancreatic cancer risk. Whether alone or when combined inherited mutation status of index cases (probands) can enhance risk estimation in first-degree relatives (FDR) unclear. We examined FDRs' for based on probands' and susceptibility gene status.Data 23,739 FDRs, identified through 3,268 probands, were analyzed. Probands' groups determined serologically genetically, 20 genes used to classify probands as "mutation-positive" "mutation-negative." SIRs 95%...
Abstract Background With the ageing population, it is increasingly important to support older adults in maintaining good health and independence. Resistance exercise has been proven have physical, physiological, cognitive benefits. However, only a small percentage of participate sufficient muscle-strengthening activities. Community or home-based programs may offer best mode address this, but lack long-term sustainability. A model combining both approaches could reinforce meaningful...
Abstract Purpose Combined exercise and dietary interventions have been shown to benefit older adults with frailty, significant promise in transitioning between frailty states. However, there is limited availability of such interventions, partly due a lack capacity healthcare. While community-based programmes offer plausible solution, often intervention settings do not reflect the transfer research practical ‘real world’ paucity investigating ‘true’ programmes. With citing numerous barriers...
This study sought to determine if human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates are associated with teaching requirements for abstinence in state sex education laws and policies. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted assessing the association between legislation HPV adolescents (aged 13–17 years). After adjustment insurance coverage household income, level of not significantly rates. However, a higher percentage individuals uninsured negatively rate. suggests that coverage, but degree...
Abstract Background: There have been varying reports on risk of different cancers, other than pancreatic cancer (PC), among first-degree relatives (FDRs) PC patients. Because the pattern and scope aggregation with malignancies in families patients are not entirely clear, we investigated 15 common FDRs unselected probands. Methods: The study included 17,181 more 336,000 person-years at risk. were identified through sequentially enrolled probands (n=2,305) Mayo Clinic prospective patient...
Abstract Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) ranks among the top causes of mortality. Risk stratification is an important step toward prevention and early detection. Prior work has shown that ABO blood type (non-O) first-degree family history PC are associated with increased risk. Individuals have a 2- to 3-fold risk, but it unclear if plays role in familial aggregation PC. We investigated risk relatives (FDRs) probands based on probands' serologic (O vs non-O). Methods: A total 702...
Introduction: Family reinforcement (praise, reminders) may influence health behaviors and affect cancer knowledge, including risk factors. There has been insufficient research on the of familial factors in prevention, especially for individuals with a family history pancreatic (PC). Objectives were to assess: 1) associations between PC prevention 2) interaction knowledge.Methods: A sample 778 unaffected relatives ≥1 affected first (FDR) or second degree (SDR) ascertained from Mayo Clinic's...
