OUTCOMES OF ORAL CANCER EARLY DETECTION AND PREVENTION STATEWIDE MODEL IN MARYLAND

In the context of early detection of head and neck cancers (HNC), the aim of this study was to describe how people sought medical consultation during the year prior to diagnosis and the impact on the stage of the cancer.

Screening mammography
Overview
Mammography is another screening tool utilized for detecting early breast cancer. Screening mammography is defined as a standard two-view mammogram obtained of an asymptomatic woman with the purpose of early detection[r]

Prevention of HIV infection will also reduce the incidence of related cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma and lymphoma.
The chances of surviving the onset of some common cancers depend largely on how early they are detected and how well they are t[r]

In recent years it has been reported that in patients of many types of cancers including multiple myeloma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric cancer, prostate cance[r]

Endometrial Cancer
Transvaginal ultrasound and endometrial sampling have been advocated as screening tests for endometrial cancer. Benefit from routine screening has not been shown. Transvaginal ultrasound and endometrial sampling are indicated for workup <[r]

SMOKING CESSATION Tobacco smoking is the most modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, and cancer.. Smokers have a 33% lifetime risk of dying prematurely fro[r]

Few studies consider both the survival and financial benefits of detection of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) at earlier stages. This study estimated the savings in life-years and costs from early diagnosis of cervical cancer using an ex post approach.

Fiber binds oxidized bile acids and generates soluble fiber products, such as butyrate, that may have differentiating properties. Fiber does not increase bowel transit times. High-fiber diets could lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer by a[r]

Promoters include hormones such as androgens, linked to prostate cancer, and estrogen, linked to breast and endometrial cancer. The distinction between an initiator and promoter is sometimes arbitrary; some components of cigar[r]

An upper age limit at which screening ceases to be effective is not known, but women ≥70 years with no abnormal results in the previous 10 years may choose to stop screening.. COLORECTAL[r]

Ultra-deep next-generation sequencing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) holds great promise as a tool for the early detection of cancer and for monitoring disease progression and therapeutic responses. However, the low abundance of ctDNA in the bloodstream coupled with technical errors introduced dur[r]

Women with a personal history of breast cancer are at increased risk of future breast cancer events, and may benefit from supplemental screening methods that could enhance early detection of subclinical disease.

Early detection of oesophageal cancer improves outcomes; however, the optimal strategy for identifying patients at increased risk from the pre-cancerous lesion Barrett’s oesophagus (BE) is not clear.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease that can be prevented through early detection. Through the use of effective educational tools, individuals can become better informed about CRC and understand the importance of screening and early detection.

For fighting cancer, earlier detection is crucial. Circulating auto-antibodies produced by the patient’s own immune system after exposure to cancer proteins are promising bio-markers for the early detection of cancer.

Breast cancer screening in the Basque Country has shown 20 % reduction of the number of BC deaths and an acceptable overdiagnosis level (4 % of screen detected BC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the breast cancer early detection programme in the Basque Country in terms of retrospective cost-[r]

Early detection of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) is urgently needed to improve the prognosis and quality of life (QOL) of patients. Oral leukoplakias (OLs), known as the most common premalignant lesions in the oral cavity, often precede OSCCs. Especially, OLs with dysplasia are known to have[r]
