67 Background: Among adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 15-39 years) with cancer, clinical trial enrollment (CTE) rates range from 3% to 14%. Patient-directed interventions improve CTE are rare. Internet-based interventions, while feasible acceptable AYAs often lack patient input engagement that critical success. digital natives report the internet social media two most important sources of health-related information. We leveraged AYA designed a mixed methods research study, "Talk Me,"...

Abstract Background: The incidence of early-onset breast cancer (BC) in adults &lt; 40 years old has increased dramatically the US over recent decades. increase means that identifying higher risk individuals through family-history based guidelines will miss many young adults. As no population-based screening is recommended for under 40, so how they detect their BC remains unclear. Using data from a nested case-control study Breast Cancer Family Registry, we found steroid metabolome may...

The 2019 Accelerating Anticancer Agent Development Workshop assembled a panel of experts for an in-depth discussion session to present "novel therapeutic interventions early in the disease trajectory." reviewed limitations evaluating investigational cancer therapeutics solely advanced metastatic and relapsed/refractory settings, recommended strategies drug evaluation earlier course, including first line combination with standard chemotherapy, maintenance neoadjuvant settings. Advantages were...
Abstract In this commentary, we examine whether should reconsider the widespread use of words ‘cancer prevention’ and replace them with risk reduction’. Our recommendation is because ‘risk reduction’ more accurately reflects what know from cancer research, but importantly recognizes confusion potential harm to patients inaccurate prevention’.
