The optimal time interval for diagnostic colonoscopy completion after an abnormal stool-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test is uncertain. We examined the association between to and CRC outcomes among individuals who underwent screening.
Abstract Background We assessed breast cancer mortality in older versus younger women according to race/ethnicity, neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES), and health insurance status. Methods The study included female cases 18 years of age older, diagnosed between 2005 2015 the California Cancer Registry. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling was used generate hazard ratios (HR) specific deaths 95% confidence intervals (CI) for (60+ years) (< 60 patients separately by nSES,...
Background: Past efforts to assess patient navigation on cancer screening utilization have focused one-time uptake, which may not be sufficient in the long term. This is partially due limited resources for in-person, longitudinal navigation. We examine effectiveness of a low-intensity phone- and mail-based multiple episodes with focus uptake after receiving noncancerous results during previous episode. Methods: The secondary analysis patients who participated randomized controlled trial...
Breast cancer in younger patients is reported to be more aggressive and associated with lower survival; however, factors age-specific mortality differences have not been adequately assessed.
Multiple evidence-based interventions (EBIs) have been developed to improve the completion of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening within Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and other safety net settings in marginalized communities. Little effort has made, however, evaluate their relative effectiveness across different clinical contexts populations. To this end, we tested three EBIs (mailed birthday cards, lay navigation, provider-delivered education) among a convenience sample 1252...
Novel copolymers of trisubstituted ethylene monomers, ring-substituted 2-phenyl-1,1-dicyanoethylenes, RC6H2CH=C(CN)2 (where R is 2,4-(CH3O)2-3-CH3, 2,3,4-(CH3O)3, 2,4,5-(CH3O)3, 2,4,6-(CH3O)3, 3,4,5-(CH3O)3, 6-Br-3,4-(CH3O)2), 2,3,5-Cl3, 2,3,6-Cl3 and 4-fluorostyrene were prepared at equimolar monomer feed composition by solution copolymerization in the presence a radical initiator (ABCN) 70°C.

The potential relationship between obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC) outcome is poorly understood in patients with late-stage disease. Increased body mass index may negate aspirin use for prevention, but its role as a factor on the effectiveness of postdiagnosis unclear.To evaluate how prediagnosis be associated overall survival cancer.This cross-sectional study used self-reported data from metastatic or treatment-refractory disease who consented to clinical protocol at MD Anderson Cancer...

Abstract Purpose. Improving mammography among Latinas may improve ethnic disparities in stage at diagnosis, morbidity, and quality of life. In response, multiple interventions have been developed assessed, including patient navigation. Little is known about how efficacy varies across socioenvironmental contexts. Such work warranted for future comparative effectiveness research clinical implementation. Objective. The study examined the interactive effects navigation with contextual factors...
Abstract Purpose. Mortality and morbidity disparities exist in Colorectal Cancer (CRC). CRC screening rates differs among race/ethnicity, which contribute to these existing disparities. In response, multiple interventions have been developed assed address gaps. Little is known about how efficacy varies across patient populations. assessed, including navigation. socioenvironmental contexts. Objective. The study sought examine the interactive effects of navigation provider with contextual...
Abstract Background: Younger age at diagnosis of breast cancer has been associated with lower survival when compared to older patients. Survival differences by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), health insurance, and tumor subtype have documented in the literature. However, how these sociodemographic clinical factors affect mortality younger versus women is unknown. Methods: The study used data from population-based California Cancer Registry, which included invasive female cases...
Abstract Introduction: Health care facilities often have competing public health priorities they must address, including different types of cancer. The burden addressing these conditions is particularly great in Federally Qualified Centers, wherein marginalized populations suffer simultaneously from late-stage detection for various cancers. Patient navigation an approach that has been documented to be effective across many cancers, breast and colorectal (CRC). What less known if how one site...
Abstract Our aim was to examine the association between fatal colorectal cancer (CRC) and time colonoscopy among individuals who underwent diagnostic after abnormal stool blood test (SBT) in a cohort of United States Veterans. Methods: We performed study Veterans aged 50–75 years, with an SBT using Health Administration's (VA) national electronic health record data during years 1999 2010. Colonoscopy receipt ascertained current procedural terminology codes SBT. The outcome, CRC death,...
Abstract Introduction: Pediatric cancer survivors are at high risk of secondary malignancies, which include those related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV vaccination has been shown be safe and effective preventing HPV-related cancers. Up-to-date completion rates in healthy children low, estimated 50% for girls 38% boys ages 13 17. Data on prevalence pediatric scarce. The objective our study was determine the association Hispanic ethnicity parental health literacy among childhood...
Abstract Background: A wealth of published data exists on factors that impact breast cancer survival, including race/ethnicity, health insurance, and other sociodemographic factors; however, there is limited research whether associations differ by age at diagnosis. The purpose this study was to assess risk dying from in older (≥ 60 years) versus younger women (&lt; according race/ethnicity insurance status. Methods: From the California Cancer Registry, we identified with a first, primary...
